Cattany <br />Craig <br />CO 81626 Division Director <br />, Natural Resource Trustee <br />RE: Trapper Mining, Inc., 2008 Annual Reclamation Report, TR-104, Adequacy Review <br />Dear Mr. Roberts, <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (Division) have reviewed Trapper Mining <br />Inc.'s 2008 Annual Reclamation Report, TR-104. Trapper Mining Inc. submitted the report in <br />accordance with Rule 2.04.13. Upon review of the above referenced report the Division has the <br />following comment: <br />1. Section 5.0 of the above referenced report discusses the Topsoil Stockpile Locations. This <br />section states that there are 72 existing topsoil stockpiles at Trapper affecting 179.7 acres and <br />storing approximately 3,862,313 cubic yards of salvaged topsoil. This statement is in contrast <br />to Table 5-1 which lists only 70 existing topsoil stockpiles. <br />If there are indeed 72 existing topsoil stockpiles at Trapper, these two additional stockpiles will <br />need to be added to the total topsoil piles affected acreage and the total amount of cubic yards <br />salvaged. <br />2. The 2008 final regrade area delineated on Map 1, Sheet 2 as F-AB-08 does not appear to match <br />the Post Mining Topography Map M12 approved 7/29/2008. Contour elevation lines at 7450' <br />and 7400' and areas at the southern end of the F-AB-08 area do not approximate the contours <br />of the Post Mining Topography Map M12. Please assure the Division that final regarded <br />topography agrees with the approved post mining contours shown in permit map M12. <br />Please submit the requested information by the regulatory timeframe. <br />If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
