!TRAPPER MINE! <br />April 11, 2013 <br />Mr. Jared Ebert <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Dear Jared: <br />Subject: _ Trapper Mine (Permit No: C-81 -010) Technical Revision TR 111 <br />2011 Annual Report, Appendix W <br />In response to comments initiated on the April 2nd adequacy review. <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety requested additional <br />information concerning a discrepancy in the acreages reported in the annual reclamation <br />report cover form. The division request is as follows: <br />"According to the DRMS Annual Reclamation Report form, the acreage disturbed for <br />this reporting year was denoted as 1.2 acres. Section 1.2.1 of the report indicates 26.8 <br />acres were disturbed in 2012 and of this area 11.5 acres were re- disturbed. Given this, <br />a total of 15.3 acres of new disturbance should have been reported instead of 1.2 acres <br />on form. This would yield a cumulative total acres disturbed through 2012 to be 3,150.3 <br />acres. Please revise this form and submit a corrected copy to the Division. <br />Trapper's response: <br />During 2012 only 1.2 acres of new disturbance and topsoil stripping occurred in the M- <br />Pit area. During topsoil haulage in the F -Pit area, 11.5 acres of previously reclaimed <br />land was re- disturbed for a haul road to topsoil piles F95 -1 and F95 -2. However, in <br />section 1.2.1 and Table 1.1 a value of 26.8 acres was used. This value accounted for all <br />topsoil stripping that occurred during the year. This included 14.1 acres within the two <br />previously mentioned topsoil piles. It however does not indicate more than 1.2 acres of <br />stripping was actual new disturbance. The number will be revised to 12.7 acres to <br />remove confusion, as the 26.8 acres included acres that had already been counted as <br />stripped within the footprint of the two topsoil piles. <br />Concerning the second item of the adequacy review, an error was made on my part <br />concerning tabulation of the disturbed acres. Table 1.2 will be revised to reflect the <br />proper numbers. <br />PO.
