October 27, 2012 (32 day extension) DRC notes that October 27, 2012 is a Saturday, therefore

Per your e-mail request the additional time is needed to prepare the report items required by the

• a surface map of the Mill and cross sections clearly depicting the ultimate area of soil for
excavation, removal and disposal, and
• a surety estimate, for Director review and approval, which includes line items for all work
