RE: Trapper Mine, C- 1981 -010
Permit Renewal No. 6 (RN6), Adequacy Review No. 3
Dear Mr. Luke,
The Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety (Division) received an application to renew the reclamation
permit for the Trapper Mine; Permit No. C- 1981 -010 on June 20, 2012. The application was called complete for
review on June 29, 2012. The decision date for the permit renewal application is December 31, 2012. During our
meeting on November 16, 2012 Trapper submitted a response to the Division's second adequacy review letter
dated October 23, 2012. Several items will need to be addressed prior to the approval of the application:
1.2 General Corporate Information
Items 1 through 6 in the Division's second adequacy review letter is still under review. The AVS system
is currently down for maintenance, so the Division has been unable up verify and update the system with
the information you provided in response to these items. The Division will notify you if there are any
other outstanding adequacy issues in regards to this section once the AVS system is functioning.
Post Mining Topography Map; M12
2. A new ridge is depicted on Map M12, Sheet 1 in the D/E pit area. This feature is a variance of the
contours currently approved and may alter the possible drainage course of a portion of the area. The
Division believes this change in topography on this map should be addressed during the upcoming permit
revision to be submitted and will require further review. In terms of the permit renewal, the currently
approved Sheet 1, M12 map is adequate.
Drainage and Sediment Control Plan
Maps M -9, M10A and M10B depict haul roads to be constructed, topsoil stripping areas and mining areas
that are outside of the currently approved Drainage and Sediment Control Plan as depicted on Map M51.
Specifically, these disturbances are depicted on Sheet 3 of these maps. In accordance with Rule
4.05.2(1), all surface drainage from the disturbed area shall be passed through a sedimentation pond, a
series of sedimentation ponds, or other treatment facilities before leaving the permit area. Plans and
designs to address the additional disturbance will need to be submitted to the Division in the form of a
revision. To facilitate the processing of the permit renewal, the Division could stipulate that prior to any
disturbance outside of the currently approved drainage and sediment control plan boundary; that Trapper
must submit and received approval of a revision to address drainage and sediment control for these
additional areas.
