10. Permit page 2.05 -20 discusses topsoil replacement on the site and references Tables 58 -62, which are topsoil <br />replacement tables. There are no dates listed in the footer for when these tables were created but, given the <br />reclamation performed at the site in 2008 and 2009, the topsoil replacement volumes listed are probably not <br />accurate. Please review topsoil replacement Tables 58 -62 and update the topsoil replacement volumes as <br />necessary to reflect the reclamation that was completed at the Williams Fork Mines in 2008 and 2009. <br />a. MCM Response: The referenced soil replacement tables have been reviewed and updated, as <br />appropriate, to reflect recent reclamation activities. Copies of the updated tables accompany these <br />responses for replacement in the PAP. <br />b. DRMS Response: <br />i. Revised Table 59 lists the acreage for the 5A Portal and Pond 5A -P2 &3 under the "depth" <br />column of the table. Please correct this table and indicate the depth the material will be <br />placed over this area. <br />ii. Revised Table 60 indicates the same volume of material exists in each of the topsoil <br />stockpiles as is currently listed on this table and does not appear to account for the <br />2008/2009 reclamation of the No. 9 Portal and Waste Disposal pile. The revised permit <br />text indicates this area was reclaimed and cover material and soil material was placed over <br />the area. Please explain this discrepancy and/or revise the tables to account for the <br />completed reclamation. <br />Response: The referenced tables have been revised to address the noted concerns, and the revised tables are <br />included with these responses. <br />11. Permit Page 2.05 -21 discusses the No. 9 Portal Waste Disposal Site. This section contains information <br />regarding the construction and operation of the No. 9 mine refuse pile. The No. 9 Mine refuse pile was <br />reclaimed in 2009. Please update the discussion of the No. 9 Mine refuse pile, starting on permit page 2.05- <br />21, to reflect the completed reclamation. Please leave the information regarding construction and operation <br />in the narrative for historical purposes. <br />a. MCM Response: The specific Permit discussion of the No. 9 Portal Waste Disposal Site has been <br />reviewed and updated, as appropriate, to reflect the completed reclamation and current conditions. <br />Historical text has been retained as relevant background information. Copies of the revised Permit <br />discussion accompany these responses for replacement in the PAP. <br />b. DRMS Response: This item is resolved. <br />13. Permit page 2.05- 23contains a section on "Removal of Structures and Facilities". This section contains a <br />general description of the reclamation activities that will take place at the site. In 2008, 2009 and 2010 MCM <br />completed a number of reclamation activities including the demolition of structures and the final reclamation <br />of the No. 9 Mine refuse pile. Please update the "Removal of Structures and Facilities" section on permit <br />page 2.05 -23 to include a discussion of the reclamation activities that were completed in 2008, 2009 and <br />2010. <br />a. MCM Response: The Permit discussion of structure and facility removal has been reviewed and <br />updated, as appropriate, to reflect recent site demolition and reclamation activities. Copies of the <br />revised Permit discussion accompany these responses for replacement in the PAP. <br />b. DRMS Response: This item is resolved. <br />14. Permit page 2.05 -24 includes a section on Backfilling and Grading that references Map 29, which shows the <br />areas to be backfilled and graded, and Table 63, which gives backfill volumes. Based on the recent <br />reclamation at the site and the anticipated future reclamation, please review Map 29 and Table 63 and <br />update them accordingly. This updating should be done in conjunction with the creation of the detailed <br />reclamation plan requested in question 12 above. <br />a. MCM Response: The referenced Permit backfilling and grading map and table have been <br />reviewed, revised, and updated, as appropriate, to reflect recent site reclamation activities. Copies <br />of the revised map and table accompany these responses for replacement in the PAP. <br />b. DRMS Response: <br />
