The Arlington Placer Operation, John Perona, Agent, is a mining operation subject to SMARA within your lead agency's jurisdiction. This operator has received an Administrative Penalty in the amount of $10,000 from the Director of the Department of Conservation for failure to provide a lead agency approved reclamation plan and financial assurances. The operator has appealed this Administrative Penalty to the State Mining and Geology Board (SMGB) pursuant to PRC § 2774.2. The appeal has been scheduled to be heard by the SMGB on Thursday, March 12, 1998 at: The Department of Consumer Affairs 400 R Street, First Floor Hearing Room Sacramento, California 95814 PRC § 2770 states that no person may operate a surface mine unless the lead agency has approved any required permits, a reclamation plan and financial assurances. It also provides that failure to have a lead agency approved reclamation plan and financial assurances prohibits the continuance of a surface mining operation. PRC § 2774.1(f) provides that the lead agency has the primary responsibility for administering and enforcing SMARA and PRC § 2207.

Sacramento, CA 95814 In a follow-up to our February 25, 1,997 meeting with-you, (916)657-2048 the United States Forest Service (USFS) , the Department of FAX (916) 657-1485 Fish and Game (DFG) and Oroville-Wyandotte Irrigation (OWID), I am writing to let you know that your application to divert water for mining will be put on hold until the USFS and Butte County complete their review of your proposal. As it was discussed by the USFS at our meeting, the prior Plan of Operations submitted-in,1990 for your mining project�..is no longer -valid because no-work-had begun and the Environmental•Analysis,(EA)- is„only_valid-,for five years. This means that the USFS will initiate .a new review for your project. As part of that review, the USFS will prepare a new EA. A Notice of Preparation for the EA will be sent out for comments to DFG, OWID, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Butte County and the State Water Resources Control Board. That process will take at least one year and will.have to be completed before we can move ahead with your water right application. In addition, your project may come under the jurisdiction of the Surface Mining Reclamation Ac* (SMRA). If so, Butte County will be the Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act instead of the State Water Resources Control Board. In that case, we will also have to wait for the County to finish its environmental documents. The County and USFS's review process will occur at the same time. Once they have completed their review, prepared the environmental documents and issued their permits, we should be able to move ahead quickly with issuing your water right permit. The County will receive notification of your project through the USFS's Notice of_Preparation . If your project comes under SMRA, the County-will'notify the USFS and you. f2l Recycled Paper Our mission is to preserve and enhance the quality of California's water resources, and `fes <17 ensure their proper allocation and efficient use for the benefit of present and future generations. 11 KAI, Mr. John A. Perona -2- In conclusion, our processing of your water right application will be put on hold until the USFS and Butte County complete their review process. We will contact you again in March, 1998 to determine the status of your project. It was nice meeting you and visiting your project. If you have questions, please call me at (916) 657-2048.

You have violated provisions of the law for which the Department of Conservation (hereinafter Department) may impose an administrative penalty under Sections 2207 and 2774.1 of the Public Resources Code (PRC). 2. You have failed to provide a lead agency approved reclamation plan and financial assurance for the Arlington Placer (California Mine ID# 91-04-003) mining operation as required by PRC Section 2207. 3. In a letter dated January 3, 1992, the Department notified you that a copy of the lead agency approved reclamation plan for the Arlington Placer mining operation had not been submitted. Our January 3, 1992, letter stated the failure to provide the requested information within 30 days of your receipt of our letter may result in administrative penalties being assessed. 4. In a letter dated January 9, 1992, your representative Mr. Richard Keith Corbin, responded to the Department's January 3, 1992, letter. Mr. Corbin enclosed a copy of 1 17 �. . • 0 correspondence dated June 11, 1991, addressed to the Butte'County Planning Department, which submitted the U.S. Forest Service (Forest Service) Plan of Operations, and included a reclamation plan to the Butte County Planning Department for their review and approval. 5. In a letter dated July 16, 1992, and addressed to Mr. Corbin, the Department requested an update on the status of the submitted reclamation plan. The Department offered its assistance in your efforts with the county and stated that the requested information must be received within 30 days of your receipt of our letter or penalties may be assessed. 6. In'a letter dated July 22,'1992, Mr. Corbin responded to the 'Department's July 16, 1992, letter. 'Mr. Corbin stated he had contacted Butte County for a status report on the approval process of the submitted reclamation plan and Mr. Corbin was waiting a return call from county staff. Mr. Corbin also suggested that if he were to find that the reclamation plan approval process would be in excess of a year, he may request intervention by the State Mining and Geology Board (Board). 7. In a letter dated August 11, 1992, Mr. Corbin informed the Department that Butte County Planning staff's interpretation of the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA).concluded that the Forest Service was the lead agency for the E • • Arlington Placer site. Additionally, Mr. Corbin stated that Butte County Planning staff felt a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Forest Service was necessary for the county to become the lead agency for mining operations on federal lands. Butte County did not have an MOU with the Forest Service and one was not being pursued. The August 11, 1992, letter also requested the Department's assistance in gaining approval of the Arlington Placer Plan of Operations/Reclamation Plan. 8. On August 13,, 1992, Mr. Corbin spoke with Department staff and was advised to appeal the inaction of the lead agency to the Board. 9. In a letter dated September 28, 1992, you and Mr. Corbin were advised that prior to commencement of operations at Arlington Placer, a lead agency approved reclamation plan and financial assurance must be submitted to the Department. 10. In a letter dated February 19, 1993, Mr. Corbin requested that the Executive Officer of the Board, Ms. Denise Jones, arrange a meeting with Department staff to explore alternative resolutions for Arlington Placer's SMARA compliance. 11. In a letter dated March 26, 1993, Ms. Jones responded to Mr. Corbin's request explaining she had contacted Butte County regarding their administration of SMARA and in C particular, their administration of SMARA to mining -operations located on federal lands. Additionally, Ms. Jones requested additional information from Mr. Corbin prior to arranging the requested meeting. 12. On September 12, 1994, the Department issued Notice and Order Imposing Administrative Penalty, Case No. 91-04-0003- 94A to you for failure to provide the 1992 and 1993 Mining Operation Annual Reports. 13. On October 3, 1994, the Board received the Petition for Review of Order for Case No. 91-04-0003-94A, from Mr. Corbin which detailed your efforts at complying with SMARA and the inaction of your lead agency. The Petition .for Review of Order also requested that the Department find your mining activities exempt from SMARA for the 1992 and 1993 calendar years. 14. In a letter dated February 28, 1995, Mr. Corbin submitted a declaration signed by you, which stated you had not conducted mining operations on your claim during 1991, 1992, or 1993. However, in order to clear up this matter, you completed the reports and submitted the reporting fees. You further requested the administrative penalty of $2,000 be rescinded. 15. In a letter dated March 7, 1995, following Mr. Perona's submittal of the 1992 and 1993 Mining Operation Annual Reports and reporting fees, the Department settled Administrative Penalty Case No. 91-04-0003-94A and rescinded 4 the penalty fee. At this time, you were reminded -that a SMARA lead agency approved reclamation plan and financial assurance were still required for the Arlington Placer mining operation. 16. In a letter dated July 21, 1995, you were notified that the Department had not received a lead agency approved reclamation -plan and financial assurance for the Arlington Placer mining operation. Additionally, our•July 21, 1995, letter requested a timetable for full SMARA compliance as a measure of your good faith within 30 days of your receipt of our letter. 17. In -a letter dated September 17, 1996, the Department again requested a timetable for full SMARA compliance for the Arlington Placer operation. Our letter notified you that failure to provide the timetable within 30 days of your receipt of our letter would result in appropriate enforcement action being initiated against you. 18. On September 26, 1996, you spoke with Department staff and explained the difficulties you had encountered in attempting to have the reclamation plan and financial assurance approved for the Arlington Placer operation. Staff advised you to contact the county and Forest Service and prepare a timetable for compliance. 19. On October 25, 1996,' you spoke with Department staff and indicated you had met with the Butte County Planning staff 5 to begin the reclamation plan process. Staff advised you to submit a timeline consistent with our September 17, 1996, letter. 20. On November 4, 1996, the Department received a letter from. you stating you had obtained the appropriate Plan of Operations/Reclamation Plan forms from the Forest Service and -Butte County and were proceeding -.with submittal to the county by December 1, 1996. 21. In a letter dated February 24, 1997, Department Director Lawrence Goldzband offered you a final opportunity to come into legal compliance regarding your financial assurance. The February 24, 1997, letter stated that failure to submit lead agency approved financial assurances or a timetable for full financial assurance compliance by March 24, 1997, for the Arlington Placer mining operation would result in an, administrative penalty being assessed. 22. On March 4, 1997, you spoke with Department staff and explained the inaction of Butte County and the Forest Service on your Plan of Operations/Reclamation Plan. Department staff advised you to submit the timetable for SMARA compliance and document your dealings with the county and Forest Service. 23. As of May 5, 1997, the Department has not received a lead agency approved reclamation plan and financial assurance or a timetable for full SMARA compliance for the Arlington Placer mining operation as required by PRC Section 2207. 6 • IN THE MATTER OF JOHN PERONA MINING OPERATION ARLINGTON PLACER AGENT JOHN PERONA ORDER NOTICE AND ORDER IMPOSING ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTY CASE NO. 91-04-0003-97A As of the date of receipt of this Notice and Order, YOU ARE HEREBY ORDERED TO PAY AN ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTY OF $10,000 to the Department of Conservation for failure to provide a lead agency approved reclamation plan and financial assurance as required by PRC Section 2207. 1.

Perona 8064 Archer Ave. Fair Oaks, CA 95628 Dear Mr. Perona: Plumas Feather Riv:anger District National 875 Mitchell, -Ave. Forest Oroville, CA 95965-4699 (916) 534-6500/534-7984 (TDD) File Code: 2810 Mining Case 328 Date:'March 24, 1997 Thank you for submitting your Plan of Operations for the Arlington placer claims and the Julieann lode claims. In accordance with Title 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 228.5(a)(3), this letter serves as notice that additional information is needed prior to the processing of your Plan of Operations. Your Plan does not adequately address the measures to be taken to meet the requirements of environmental protection (36 CFR 228.4(c)(3)). When you met with Jack Horner and Tricia Humpherys on the claims, February 25, 1997, you indicated a few of the 23 sample cuts you wanted to make on the claims. Your plan lists these cuts to be 10 cubic yards each but your verbal description on the ground made them sound substantially larger, possibly 60 - 70 cublic yards each. Please clarify the size of the cuts and the volume of cubic yards of materials to be removed. The majority of the areas that you are proposing sample cuts in have not been surveyed for archaeological or other resources.- There are known archaeological sites, that have to be avoided, adjacent or possibly in your proposed cuts. For that. reason, we would like you to stake out your cut sites and flag your proposed access roads to those sites that are away from the existing roads. On your sketch map showing portions of Julieann Claims, you show a proposed dozer prospect trail between two areas that you would make seven sample cuts. During the on-site meeting February 25, you indicated that you did not intend to use the closed road leading to this area. The sketch map indicates that you would reopen this road down the edge of Carlton Ravine to access the seven proposed cuts. Please clarify what your proposal is and flag the proposed access route. As you are aware, the regulations (36 CFR 228.4) require that an envirc-rm ental analysis be completed for mining operations when a Plan of Operations is required. The analysis provides sufficient evidence for determining whaL- level of environmental documentation is needed.

We are no longer able to ensure that Forest Service resource specialists will be available to prepare the studies, evaluations, and reports required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) or 36 CFR 228.8. Without this information we cannot proceed with the required analysis or approve the Plan of Operations. Since we cannot proceed with the processing of your Plan of Operations until we have the necessary informatiol., you may want to consider contracting with an environmental consultant or resource specialists. Consultants and resource specialists would still be required to provide analysis and reports which meet Forest Service standards. Another reason for the increase in the timeframes is the adoption of new regulations for notice, comment and appeal procedures for National Forest System projects and activities (36 CFR 215). The appeal timeframes are based on a Congressional law which takes precedence over the timeframes for approval of a Plan of Operations (36 CFR 228, Subpart A). On an average, the new appeal regulations have increased the amount of time needed (minimum of 105 days beyond what it takes to complete the environmental documentation) to process Plans of Operation which require an environmental assessment (EA). To help with the processing of Plans of Operations, mining claimants and operators are being asked to assist us by doing the following: 1. Plan one season ahead. Submit Plans of Operation at least one year prior to proposed start up date. 2. Utilize a professional company to prepare your Plan of Operations, to complete the surveys and studies, and to prepare the environmental analysis (36 CFR 228.8). The Forest Service will review and issue a decision document which will still go through the appeals timeframe. 3.,. Plan to house your workforce on other than National Forest System lands. Occupancy on a mining claim will be dealt with according to Forest Service direction (Forest Service Manual 2800). Accordingly, it is extremely rare that occupancy of the claim area is ever authorized. Caring for the Land and Serving People U�►S Printed on Recycled PaF�_r i,_,,.

CA 95925 For each of the categories, the following supplemental information is provided: I_ CLAIM AND LOCATION: The Arlington & U.S. Placer Mining Claim, comprising zpproximately 40 acres, in the County of Butte, State of California, described as follows: The W 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of the SW 114 AND the E 12 of the NW 114 of the SVC' 1/4 of Section 4, Township 19 Ndrth, Range 6 East, Mount Diablo Base and Meridian, all as is more particularly set forth in the Notice of Location recorded in the Butte County Recorder's office at Book 459, Page 217 on June 25, 1949, and the last Amended Notice of Location recorded in the Butte County Recorder's office at Book 2216, Page 458, and filed with the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, Sacramento office, as CAMC 8591. W. OPERATIONS: A_ Access: Access will be by County Road 19 N 20 toward the South end of the project area. The road will be extended from the existing dirt road across a ravine.. The road surface across the ravine will be approximately twelve feet (12') wide. A sixteen foot long (16') culvert, approximately two feet (2') in diameter will be installed at the crossing point. B_ Water Discharge and Tailings Disposal: There shall be no water discharge into Carlton Ravine. Claimant will utilize recycled water from the settling ponds, pumping upwards of an estimated ten thousand (10,000) gallons daily. Also, no mining will be conducted in the slide area to the East of Carlton Ravine. Therefore, the total size of the area to be mined in the first stage during 1990 will be approximately three (3) acres. It is anticipated that a maximum of 100,000 yards of material will be moved in the 1990 operating year. C_ Settling_ Ponds: Two ponds will be utilized at the commencement of operations. The first is a holding pond, approximately two hundred sixty feet (260') north of the claim location monument, at the site of a natural holding pond. The natural holding pond will be deepened to approximately six to eight feet, and widened to approximately twelve feet (12') by twelve feet (12'). A second pond, approximately triple the surface size of the first, but only two and one-half feet (2 1/2') to three feet (3') deep, will be used for primary settling. Depending on the settling factor of the clays, widening of the surface of this pond may eventually become necessary. • Furthermore, a separate settling pond already constructed on Soper -Wheeler property for mining Elie claim in the past will first be utilized until it is dry. It is anticipated that this water source will be available until approximately June 1. . E_ Size of Area: The size of area in the original plan will be reduced so as not to include the West bank of the Carlton Ravine. The West bank of Carlton Ravine at the south end of the project area will be undisturbed, and the tree line will remain the same. H. Occupancy: Per stipulation with the U.S. Forest Service, Claimant will not build a residential structure from timber ca the mine until after the 1990 operating year. In the interim, Claimant will utilize a mobile trailer during the period of actual mining operations. J_ Reclamation: After the tailings have been replaced and the overburden dozed back over the top, Claimant will conduct additional reclamation consisting of reseeding and fertilizing as appropriate. L_ Water Quality Control: Attached hereto please find a copy of the letter of Dennis R. Heimin, Associate Sanitary Engineer, California Regional Water Quality Control Board, dated December 27, 1989, to John A. Perona, indicating, "that waste discharge requirements for your operation can be waived in lieu of the enclosed operating conditions." M_ Timber: On the proposed three -acre mining site there are two yellow pines toward the Northeast end of the operation site, and two cedars toward the Southeast end of the operation site which appear to be economically harvestable. However, in the first year of operation Claimant's mining operations will be conducted in such a manner as that these four trees will not be disturbed.

The E. s on i e in a allenge office if you wish to review it. Enclosed is your final Plan of Operations, based upon your proposal and the Environmental Assessment. Please sign the plan and submit it with your Performance Bond payment to this office. Operations with motorized equipment are not authorized until the Perform- ance Bond payment is made. Operating without authorization can constitute a violation of the Code of Federal Regulations and the operator may be cited as well as suspended from any mining. The Performance Bond can be paid by either cash, letter -of -credit, nego- tiable securities, or a blanket payment bond from a bonding company. The first two forms of payment being more accessible to the small miner, we would recommend a letter -of -credit from a bank. The letter -of -credit must cover at least one and one-half years.. We are enclosing additional information on the letter -of -credit for your convenience. The Performance Bond is based:!upon reclaimation required at this time.' As the work is completed the bond can be reduced or applied to future work. If you pay with cash and wish to set up a payment schedule over a period of time, this can be accepted but your operations would be regulated by the amount that you pay each month. As we have discussed before, the requirements of a Plan of Operations and a Performance Bond have been upheld by many Court decisions: United States V. Curtis -Nevada Mines, 415 F. Supp. 1373 (E. D.

HEANEY REGISTERED GEOLOGIST • CALIFORNIA 2829& EG827 P.O. BOX 254586 SACRAMENTO. CA 95865 (916) 487-7108 Geologic report for Arlington Placer and Julieann Lode Claims. INTRODUCTION The Arlington Placer and Julieann Lode claims consist of six placer and four lode claims. They are located three miles northwest of Forbestown, Butte County, California in Sections 4 and 5, T 19 N, R 6 E, MDBM, (map attached). The Julieann claims 1 and 3 overlap the Arlington claim 1. Intermediate extensive old workings and tailings exist in Carlton Ravine and Dixon Creek. Carlton Ravine contains placer workings for the full distance north to south on the Arlington Placer claim 1. A major wide mineralized zone traverses south to north on Julieann Lode claims 1 and 2. In the vicinity north of Ponterosa Road on claim 1 there are three old mine drifts and several large dumps. Open cuts and benches are also found near the old mine workings and at other nearby locations. Field examinations were made at the request of the owners. The lode claims area is located on moderate to steep slope as shown on the topographic map. The placer claims are located generally on moderate slopes. Main access to the claims are by existing roads Ponterosa Way, Forest service roads 19 N 19 and 19 N 20. Road 19 N 20 is partially overgrown and requires clearing and minor grading. A road now closed exists from 19 N 19 near the ravine and south to the old mine workings. Local access to all claims is by the various roads that are either well graded or on partially graded roads that need some work. TOPOGRAPHY, ETC. The Claims are located in the high foothill area of the Sierra Nevada where moderate to high mountains and steep slopes are common. Northward drainage,cut the claims. Timber is second and third growth pine, fir, and some oak. The entire claims area appears to have been previously clear cut at least once or twice. Extensive areas that have been clear cut are presently found throughout the claims area. Underbrush is moderately dense with heavy patches of poison oak and various scrub ground cover. -1- MINERALS - EXPLORATION & DEVELOPMENT Climate during summer is mild with temperatures 70 - 100 degrees. Winters are wet, often with snow. Rainfall is estimated at approximately 20 to 30 inches per year. Carlton Ravine and Dixon Creek on the claims generally flow during winter and early to late spring. Some years the stream flow may continue into summer and fall. These creeks were dry during October 1996. A very small water flow was noted at the culvert location on Carlton Ravine. Several small stagnant puddles were noted. No other water was noted during the October visit. No active springs were noted in October. One spring was reported in the area south of claim 1 on'the east upper slope near Carlton Ravine. Intermittent springs may exist which could flow early in the season each year. GENERAL GEOLOGY The mineralized area along claims Julieann 1 and 2 follow a more or less discontinuous contact and/or intrusive between Mesozoic granitic rock and Jura-Trias metavolcanic rocks. Generally west of the zone metavolcanic rocks predominate, east of the zone there are mostly granitic rocks. Low angle blanket veins, massive quartz outcrop areas, parallel and cross veins are located in the zone. The mineralized area appears to be a multi fracture zone containing several stages of mineralizing intrusions. The large quartz boulder "vein" areas after intrusion were subjected to movement and breaking. During movement the quartz veins were fractured into large blocks and slightly rounded. The boulders are often more than one ton each. Later intrusion of mineralizing solutions of sulfides containing gold and silver re cemented the boulders in place. These sulfide minerals were later altered to hard iron oxide crusts. Surface weathering has released many boulders which lie along the zone. Later or concurrent mineralization filled areas of the contact next to granitic rock (diorite). The zone extends northward into claim 2 where low angle veins are found along the lower road. Steep northward slopes of 30 to 40 degrees exist in the contact area. The placer claims areas are on more gentle slopes. Carlton Ravine parallels the contact zone. Granitic rock is the predominate bedrock in upper Carlton Ravine, while lower Carlton Ravine is generally in an area of metavolcanic rock. The other placer claim areas appear to contain metavolcanic rock with occasional granitic areas. Gravel in the ravine is "juvenile" which exhibits little or no creek worn rock. Most of this "gravel" is rough granitic cobbles and boulders. An occasional quartz rock may appear. Sand and rough pebbles fill the gravel voids. Only minor amounts of clay was noted. -2- No apparent active faults are located in or near the claims area. Surface soil is less than a foot deep in many locations. Upper Carlton Ravine contains one to three feet of very gravelly top soil (mostly weathered granite). Where there are old placer workings the topsoil may be piled or missing. The granite rock is deeply weathered at and near surface. Harder granite boulder outcrops are seldom seen. The areas of metavolcanic rocks are deeply oxidized to moderate depths and contain shallow surface soil. MILTON C.
