We have reviewed the modification request your company submitted for the referenced mine site. In order for
this office to complete its review of the referenced project in accordance with GS 74-50 and 51 of the Mining Act
of 1971, please provide the additional or revised information in accordance with the following comments:
1. The detail on the mine map is difficult to read. Please provide additional maps of the site at a larger scale
so that detail on erosion and sediment control measures is clearly visible.
2. Please show location of skimmers and skimmer outlets on all basins on the plan.
3. Please provide a Jurisdictional Determination with proposed impacts for the stream features from the US
Army Corp of Engineers
Please note, this office may request additional information, not included in this letter, as the mining application
