This addition to the Williams Fork <br />Mines PAP has been developed at the request of the CDRMS, to provide historic documentation relative to the <br />origin, remediation activities, and status of the underground mine burn and the associated investigations and <br />control activities. <br />The revision includes a brief description and reference to the burn and associated control activities in Section <br />2.04.3, Site Description and land Use Information, and creates a new exhibit to include recent and future project <br />information. Given that the Wise Hill AML Project involves a pre -law area and disturbance, and that all associated <br />activities are being conducted by the CDRMS -AML Program, this disturbance and associated activities do not <br />represent a "mining and reclamation" activity for which MCM has any permitting or legal obligation or liability, <br />therefore, no additional bond is required as a result of this Minor Revision. As previously noted, this Minor <br />Revision is being submitted at the CDRMS's request to provide for inclusion of relevant historical <br />documentation in the Williams Fork Mines PAP. <br />We appreciate your consideration and cooperation in reviewing this submittal. Please feel free to contact me at <br />with any questions, or to discuss related matters. <br />Best regards, <br />for Moffat Cou <br />ing, LLC <br />Jerry .
