Environment, Inc. Page 6 <br /> J e 25, 2014 <br /> L�E Star Water Resource. <br /> o mining is planned in the eastern area. The current Reclamation Flan Map-Exhibit F <br /> (Option A) shows how the area,would be developed if a slurry wall liner was installed. <br /> owever, during preparation of this adequacy response, LGE has decided that the area will be <br /> reclaimed using Option B. Attached is a new Map Exhibit F Reclamation Map (Option B) <br /> that shows the post-1981 water will be covered with at least 2 feet of fill material leaving a 6.10 <br /> acre lake. It is possible that more lake will be filled,but we do not know how much more will be <br /> fi led,until construction and grading is done on the western parcel. <br /> EXHIBIT E-Reclamation Plan(Rule 6.4.5):The reclamation plan states that the currently <br /> reclaimed areas,and.areas that may be re-disturbed or will need additional reclamation are <br /> depicted on the Current Conditions and Reclamation Plan maps—these acreages do not <br /> seem to be shown on the maps provided. In addition,the provided black and white/pattern- <br /> fill maps are,attempting to depict so much information that they are already difficult to <br /> read. Please provide this additional-information either on another map, or perhaps provide <br /> color keyed maps to depict the information shown. <br /> Sorry for the Confusion. Attached is a 11"x17" color map showing the areas discussed. I have <br /> labeled it Figure E,-Reclaimed Area Map (Option B). I have also provided the acreages of <br /> e ch of the colored areas on the map. The dark green areas are areas that we believe will not be <br /> re disturbed during construction of the slurry wall,but in the text a commitment was made to do <br /> .any reclamation necessary should they be disturbed. <br /> DRMS will not allow"Option 1" as described for revegetation on page 8 of the submitted <br /> reclamation plan. Seeding with the approved seed mix will be required. Please remove <br /> "Option 1"from the reclamation plan. DRMS may allow for the release of the site prior to <br /> the full establishment of vegetation to facilitate construction activities as outlined in <br /> "Option 2". <br /> revised page 8 is attached making the changes you request. L.G. Everist understands that if . <br /> t e owners of the reservoir decided to continue development once back sloping and resoiting is <br /> c mplete,the area would still have to be seeded before the Division would consider releasing <br /> tb at area even if final construction was scheduled to start shortly. <br /> The contouring shown on the map provided for reclamation "Option C" appears to.result in <br /> a large depression that would not allow any surface drainage from the eastern portion of <br /> the site. How will the permittee insure that water does not remain,standing in the resulting <br /> basin,especially after major precipitation events in such close proximity to the river?State <br /> Engineer's Office(SEO) Division of Water Resources rules state that storm water will not <br /> be retained on site for over 72 hours. <br /> I tiave fixed the contours so it is shown as being backfilled to the same level as the property to <br /> the south,''This will-allow for positive drainage across the site. Thank you for catching this. <br /> EXHIBIT F-Reclamation Plan Map(Rule 6.4.6): Please refer to first comment on <br /> reclamation plan regarding depiction_ of acreages to be reclaimed,_and/or currently <br /> reclaimed. <br /> Pr your suggestion I have created a color version of the Reclamation Plan Map-Figure E - <br /> Reclaimed <br /> Area Map (Option B). I placed it on l 1x17 paper to make it easier to reproduce. <br /> e larger scale maps provide the detailed contours that are harder to see on this map. Attached <br />
