6.4.5 Exhibit E — Reclamation Plan <br />9. To be acceptable to the Division, please replace the following wording in the reclamation plan <br />narrative from "any slopes created will be graded 3h:ly more or less" with "any slopes created will be <br />graded no steeper than 3h:Iv, unless approved by the Division'. <br />The revised section on reclamation is attached. The wording has been changed to reflect your <br />request. It now reads: "Any slopes created will be graded no steeper than 3h:ly, unless approved <br />by the Division." <br />10. Please clarify the number and location of topsoil stockpiles and update the reclamation plan narrative <br />and mining plan map as necessary. <br />As originally shown on the mining map (Exhibit D), the intent was for one stockpile along the north <br />edge of the new pit boundary. A more accurate description of stockpiles would be that as mining <br />occurs, the stockpile location(s) will be adjusted according to field conditions and amount of <br />material requiring stockpiling. A revision on stockpiles in the mining narrative is attached. <br />Revised locations are shown the attached aerial map provided by Mark Kokes. <br />As previously stated in the narrative under Exhibit E- Reclamation Plan, "As mining occurs, <br />stockpiles will be located around the inner perimeter of the permit area to minimize the distance <br />needed to push and reclaim the area." <br />11. Please specify the tons /acre of straw that will be used to mulch the reclaimed area. <br />The normal rate of application is approximately two tons per acre of air -dry material. That can <br />vary, depending on the type of straw actually employed. <br />12. As required by Rule 6.2.1, all maps must be prepared and signed by a registered land surveyor, <br />professional engineer, or other qualified person. Please sign Exhibit E and all other maps submitted <br />for the conversion application. <br />A copy of all maps are re- submitted with signatures. <br />13. The Applicant stated that fencing may be needed during the first two years after seeding to prevent <br />livestock from grazing on the reclaimed area. Please state that this fence will be taken down or will be <br />left for the landowner. If the latter is chosen, please submit a signed and notarized letter from the <br />landowner allowing the fence to remain after final reclamation is complete. <br />Mark Kokes, as president of MMM Partnership, has provided a signed and notarized letter <br />regarding the final disposition of any fencing. A copy of that letter is also attached herein. <br />
