e. MCM Response: Map 29 has been reviewed and compared with the Pre - Mining Land Use Map (Map 3). Post mining land -use designations have been added to Map 29 which generally reflects restoration of mine disturbance areas to the pre- mining use. It should be noted however, that there may be some ambiguity in the pre- mining use designations, and the designated post- mining use reflect current and anticipated future use for the disturbed and surrounding areas. d. DRMS Response: The mine area disturbance boundary depicted on revised Map 29a does not encompass the entire mine - related disturbance. Similarly, the sub -set map on revised Map 29a depicts the post -mine land use designations for the disturbed area to be reclaimed and they do not encompass the entire mine area disturbance. For example, all or portions of the following areas are not encompassed by the mine disturbance area polygon or encompassed by post - mine land use designations polygons: #5 portal area, #5a portal area, certain sedimentation ponds, diversion/collection or mine water ditches, railroad spur, certain access and light duty roads, 100,000 gallon water tank and the surrounding area, and the solid waste disposal area. Please revise Map 29a so all the mine related disturbance is encompassed by the polygons used to depict the mine disturbance area and their appropriate post -mine land use. Response: The No. 5 Mine Portal Area is included on the referenced map and labeled appropriately. The other minor areas are shown on the map (with the exception of drainage ditches), and hatching has been added to identify them as mine - related disturbance and to identify postmining land uses (inset). It should be noted, however, that the mapped areas are approximations only, and should not be used to try to determine disturbance acreages. The areas shown are generally slightly larger than the actual disturbance footprints and are drawn to encompass all disturbance. MCM will address all mine - related disturbance consistent with the approved reclamation plans during the reclamation process, when appropriate. 4.05.13 — Surface and Ground Water Monitoring: 1) Revised Map 11 does not depict stream water quality monitoring site Y -1 or the North Spring (Lippard Spring No. 1). Please add these features to this map and submit a revised copy. a. MCM Response: The referenced map has been revised and is included with the responses. b. DRMS Response: The North Spring on the revised Map #11 is in a different place than depicted on the currently approved M #11. Please explain this discrepancy. c. MCM Response: Paradigm Shift d. DRMS Response: This item was not addressed, please explain the discrepancy and /or revise the Map #11.
