items listed in section B.2 of the mining permit application.

Please clearly mark the mine permit boundaries as specified in Condition 5 of the mining permit. All
affected area boundaries (30.22 acres) shall be permanently marked at the site on 100-foot intervals
unless the line of sight allows for larger spacing intervals.
4. Please provide an estimated life of the mine on pg. 3 or pg. 14 of the mine permit application. This

Your current permit does not allow dewatering. Please cease dewatering immediately. If you would
like to continue to dewater you must submit a modification application along with a modification fee
of $650.00. ($750.00 Modification fee less $100.00 already submitted transfer fee.)
