slurry wall will be constructed until deemed appropriate the areas designated for
construction of the slurry walls will be identified and the Division of Reclamation,
Mining and Safety will be notified and a Technical Revision will be submitted before any
slurry walls are installed." Please provide clarification.

be rangelands. The applicant understands that an amendment would be required to
change the post mining land use to a Developed Water Resource.

No slurry wall are planned for this dry pit. Therefore mapping them is not
applicable (N /A).

Board Order is attached. Please discuss where this material is to be used in reclamation
and include its location on Exhibit C, and Exhibit F if appropriate.
