PM CIO CRANDE <br />ES11-VER, INC. <br />Well along the road to the 9700 portal. Only the 0.17 acres at the Vent Raise area is <br />outside of the 49.7 acres covered under the 60 permitted disturbed acres. <br />PROPOSED ACTION <br />The proposed action will include the following facilities: <br />➢ Vent raise re- development <br />➢ Refurbishing of the 9700 portal <br />➢ Expansion of the Waste Rock Storage Facility adjacent to the 9400 Decline <br />Vent Raise re- development <br />The area lies outside of the currently disturbed areas as calculated and provided with <br />our recent Amendment application. This portion of work will add 0.17 acres to the total <br />disturbed acres for the project, but will still keep the total project disturbed areas less <br />than the current permitted allowable area of 60 acres. The project consists of <br />demolishing and removing an existing earthen cap and reclaimed area above the old <br />Vent Raise. In addition to the demolition, we intend to re- establish a road and pad to the <br />site. The extent of new road will be an approximately 350' length of gravel access road <br />that will follow the path of the previous road to the site. The site will be graded, with all <br />available topsoil being removed and stockpiled for use at the time of Reclamation. The <br />new road and site will have a minimal layer of gravel installed to accommodate traffic <br />and parking /staging for the vent rehab. We intend to install a 10' x10' x 2' thick concrete <br />pad around the vent with a 10'tall collar and affixed grate assembly to prevent material <br />infall and to secure the entrance. <br />The site will be fenced with an 8'high security fence to dissuade public access. The <br />purpose of the structure is to assist in the ventilation of the old mine workings. Refer to <br />attached exhibits AA (Cross- Section) and BB (Plan View) <br />Refurbishing of the 9700 portal <br />This additional described work will not add any land to our existing permitted disturbed <br />area. The work will consist of removing and stockpiling the available topsoil from the <br />road and work platform. The topsoil will be stockpiled in a berm along the downhill edge <br />of the disturbed area to be re -used upon final reclamation. The large boulders and trees <br />in the work area will be moved to the toe of the existing uphill side of the roadway. The <br />roadway will receive +/- 2" of gravel to assist in leveling and providing a usable surface. <br />Paget <br />625 USFS Road 504.1A P.O.
