There are two problems <br /> cited in the report, one for an inadequate financial warranty, and a second related to impounding of surface <br /> water. <br /> Please review the estimated financial warranty and reach out to me by November 1, 2023, if you have any <br /> questions about the required bond.After November 1, the Division will send a separate notice regarding the <br /> surety increase. <br /> For the surface water issue, you have 30 days to address the surface water in the pit. Please send the Division <br /> photo evidence of reworking the site grading to prevent water accumulation, or the installation of stormwater <br /> management structures to divert water around the pits. If you choose to install a stormwater management <br /> system,you will also need to submit a technical revision to add this to your mine plan. <br /> Please call or email me if you have any questions about the report, the required financial warranty, or the permit <br /> requirements. <br /> Kind regards, <br /> Nikie Gagnon <br /> Environmental Protection Specialist <br /> https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ik=07448aba5e&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a:r5674592590474942329%7Cmsg-f:178274036167610059... 1/2 <br />
