The following maps <br />are included: <br />1. Figure 1. "GENERAL LOCATION MAP", 1" = 300' <br />2. Figure 2. "WEST SUNDAY MINE, ROADS AND VENT HOLES", 1"= Z00' <br />3. Figure 3. "WEST SUNDAY MINE", 1" = 100' <br />On September 19, 2002, the Operator submitted PRELIMINARY maps to the Division. <br />This was done to get feedback from the Division on the form and adequacy of the information <br />being presented on the new maps. Furthermore, a number of site maintenance and <br />remediation tasks have been undertaken in the past few months, and hence features on some <br />of the preliminary maps are not represented correctly. Therefore, the Operator requests that <br />the PRELIMINARY maps be returned to the Operator upon the Division's receipt of the <br />maps submitted herewith. <br />The West Sunday Mine 112 Permit includes the West Sunday Mine proper and the vent holes <br />and related access roads on the ridge to the south of the West Sunday Mine site. Detail <br />information has been collected during new field surveys to prepare accurate and complete <br />maps and to report on current site conditions. In the process of surveying the existing field <br />conditions, a number of discrepancies and/or permit omissions have been encountered. These <br />discrepancies and omissions occurred under former operators, and in fact in a number of <br />cases, the Division was apparently not aware of the existence of a number of mine-related <br />features. As a consequence, historical records that detail the size of various mine features are <br />not completely accurate, and the related past calculations of Affected Area and Disturbed <br />
