The proposed Exhibit 22 -3 submitted with the application needs to be revised to <br />indicate the boundary is not being changed, only the post mine land use. Please <br />remove the "New Permit Boundary" notation on this map. <br />Response: Exhibit 22 -3 has been revised. <br />3. Exhibit 3 -1 indicates Dennis A. and Laurie L.
