Jerry M. Nettleton <br />Page 4 <br />June 11, 2014 <br />information should be added as a new exhibit to the permit and cited properly on the <br />revised page. <br />Rule 2.05.4 -- Reclamation Plan <br />1) The Reclamation Map (Map 29) is proposed to be revised. The revised map does not <br />include pertinent information that is on the currently approved Map 29. For example, on <br />portions of the affected area, the map does not include; cross sections, adequate post mine <br />contours, post mine land use designations and dates of disturbance. Either add the <br />currently approved information to the revised map or keep the currently approved map <br />and add the proposed revised map to the permit under a different title and designation <br />(Map 29a for example). <br />2) On the currently approved Reclamation Plan Map; Map 29 it is difficult to determine <br />which areas will be reclaimed to the following post mine land uses: Rangeland/Wildlife, <br />Cropland and Pasture Land. On the revised map discussed on the previous item, clearly <br />delineate which portions of the affected area will be reclaimed to the designated post <br />mine land use. <br />3) Revised Page 2.05-3 1.2 discusses reclamation of the Utah Tract. The currently approved <br />narrative for this section discusses the post -mine land use and seed mixture to be used for <br />this area (rangeland/wildlife) and discusses the mulching rate and crimping requirement. <br />The proposed revised page leaves out this information and simply indicates the MCM has <br />applied for a Phase 1 and 2 bond release for these parcels and plans to sample the areas <br />for final Phase 3 bond release in the future. Please revise this page to include the <br />reclamation information. <br />Rule 2.05.6 — Mitigation Of the Impacts of Mining Operations <br />1) On revised page 2.05 -38; MCM provides the Theim equation. There are two "R" <br />variables in the equation. The variable for the radius of a point on cone of depression <br />should be a lower case "r ". Please correct this variable and submit a revised page. <br />2) The Division's staff hydrologist is currently reviewing the revisions made to Section <br />2.05.6 of the permit, specifically the section titled "Postmining or Interim Discharge — <br />No. 5A and No. 6 Mines ". If additional adequacy items are found, they will be <br />forwarded to MCM as soon as possible. <br />
