"�EIVED <br />I`f_ ;v t9?013 <br />Y RECLAMATION <br />AND SAFETY <br />RE: TR -39 - Response to DRMS Memorandum Dated 11 -15 -13 <br />Additional Information Combining Reference Area Vegetation Data <br />Energy Fuels Coal, Inc., Southfield Mine — Permit No. C -81 -014 <br />L'1 <br />Dear David Berry: <br />Attached is updated information and corrections to respective maps concerning <br />combining vegetation sample data from the vegetation reference areas (RA's) at the Southfield <br />mine. Items of concern/response are in the same numerical sequence as received from the <br />Division. <br />Item No. 1: A narrative response addressing the weighted averaging procedure for combining the <br />reference areas as outlined in the April 18, 1995 Guidelines is enclosed for your review. <br />Replacement pages 2.04.10 -5, 2.04.10 -5a and 2.04.10 -5b addressing the combining of the <br />reference areas have been updated and are also enclosed to be replaced in the permit document. <br />Item No. 2: Resolved <br />Item No. 3: The Division was correct in that the scale on the previous maps submitted were <br />incorrect. During resizing of those maps, adjusting the appropriate scale was inadvertently <br />overlooked. For ease of review, Map 16 has been resized to the original size and reference to <br />scale corrected. <br />The shape of Plot B (old Mine Portal RA) was changed to depict the coordinates offered by Dr. <br />Corley, a concerned, adjacent landowner who has expressed concerns about TR -39. <br />As recommended by the Division, the previous map, Reclamation Map 1, has been renamed to <br />"Reclamation Study Area, Illustration 1" to avoid confusion with other maps existing in the <br />Southfield permit. <br />
