MANAGEMENT <br />The DRMS' letter dated June 21, 2007 transmitted additional adequacy items regarding <br />the referenced permit revision. Following are Snowcap's responses to the DRMS' <br />comments and concerns: <br />Additional Adeouacy Items: <br />DRMS: On amended page 13-3i (2/07), the wording of the second sentence <br />of the first paragraph makes it unclear whether the embankment specification <br />described in the second paragraph would apply to the entirety of proposed <br />Assess Road 1A. Our interpretation is that the road would be constructed in <br />accordance with the specifications describes. In face, our understanding is <br />that the road would be constructed in conformance with all of the design and <br />construction requirements of 4.03.2(3), for "access roads not within the <br />disturbed area". These criteria are applicable for permanent access roads, <br />since such roads will remain in place following sediment pond removal. <br />Please delete the second sentence of Paragraph 1, and insert the <br />following language in order to eliminate ambiguity. The road will be <br />constructed in conformance with the design and construction <br />requirements of 4.03.2(3), which apply to "roads not within the <br />disturbed area". These criteria apply because the road is a permanenf <br />road that will remain in place following sediment pond removal. The <br />following embankment specification applies to the road. <br />SCC: Amended page 13-3i is enclosed. <br />
