Re: Adequacy Concerns, Monazch Quany Permit Application, File No. M-2000-098
Deaz Mr. Sandell:
The Division completed a technical review of the referenced permit application. Following are
items of concern which must be addressed in order to meet the minimum requirements of the
Act/Rules. L` a portion, or all, of a Rule is not listed, it has been addressed:
1. Rule 6.2 -General Requirements of Exhibits -specifically, requirements for the maps must
conform to the following criteria;
d) identify and outline the azea which corresponds with the application. The maps that were
submitted only show the Colorado Lime Company (CLC) property which appears to
contain less acreage than the proposed permit area. The applicant has applied fora 298.7
'} acre permit but the legal location description only describes 197.34 acres in the CLC
~ property azea (Sections 4 & 33). Also, the various maps show different property
t
~:~' ~ configurations (the air photo overlay map is not the same as the Exhibit A and B maps). In
,~ addition, it appears there are a few acres of Forest Service managed lands within the CLC
property outline. If Forest Service managed lands are located within the proposed affected
land areas, CLC must provide documentation demonstrating right of access to the acreage.
And the acreage must be shown on all the maps.
e) the maps must contain the appropriate title. For instance, does the air photo overlay
represent Exhibit Cpre-mining map, mining plan map or Exhibit F reclamation plan map?
2. Paragraph 12 of the application should include blasting as part of the method of mining.
3. Rule 6.4.1 - Exhibit A -describes 216.43 acres of patented mining claims located in Section 4,
Township 49 North, Range 6 East and Sections 22, 23, and 33, Township 50 North, Range 6
East. Plus 10.83 acres comprising the Monarch Townsite. This amounts to 227.26 acres.
However, [he property outline around the quarry area in Sections 4 and 33 appears to only
contain 197.34 acres. Two patented claims (Ben Boldt and Paymaster) lie southeast of the
