Hickenlooper Governor Mike King Executive Director Loretta E. Pineda Director <br /> <br /> <br />Date: December 17, 2012 To: Mike Boulay <br /> <br />From: Brock Bowles RE: McClane Canyon (Permit No. C-1980-004) <br /> Permit Revision Application No. 2 (PR-2) <br /> Adequacy Responses #2 <br /> As you have requested, I have reviewed the above referenced permit revision submitted by McClane <br />Canyon Mining, LLC for the McClane Canyon Mine (MCM). Many of the questions and comments <br />raised in the first adequacy review of February 15, 2011 are no longer applicable due to the removal of the surface facilities expansion plans. As requested by MCM, Section 4 of the PAP will be removed upon final approval of PR-2. The information and discussion presently in Section 4 of the PAP will be <br />moved to section 2.04.9. The new pages with the correct page numbering are included in MCM’s <br />October 2012 Adequacy Response. <br /> Appendix T – Baseline Soil Survey and Appendix W – Alluvial Valley Floor Determination, both for the proposed expansion area, will remain in the permit. Appendix U – Vegetation Information and <br />Appendix V – Wildlife and Sensitive Plant Study, both for the proposed expansion area, are being <br />withdrawn at the request of MCM. <br /> If you have any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. Rule 2.04.9 – Soils Resource Information <br /> <br />23. Item Resolved 24. The text on Page 2.04-33(1)(c) refers to Figure 4.4-2 for the soil sampling locations. Figure 4.4- <br />2 submitted with the PR-2 application on November 1, 2010 delineates the water sampling <br />locations. The text should refer to Appendix T – Figure 1 for the the soil sampling locations for <br />the proposed expansion area. Please amend the text on page 2.04-33 to refer to the correct figure. <br />25. Item Resolved – The September 26, 2011 NRCS letter will be incorporated into the permit under <br />Appendix L. <br /> <br />Rule 2.04.10 Vegetation Information 26.
