Forrest Luke, TMI <br />Page 3 <br />11/20/2014 <br />dozer basins will be used as a substitute. Please add additional permit text, figures, <br />tables etc. to demonstrate how this will be accomplished. <br />f. Please incorporate additional permit text, tables and /or figures to describe how <br />Trapper will determine the number of dozer basins to be installed within a portion of <br />reclaimed drainage. <br />g. During the November 12"' meeting and previous meetings it has been discussed that <br />Trapper would submit documentation that reclaimed drainage channels have been <br />constructed and stabilized in accordance with the plan outlined in the permit by <br />submitting as- builts with the annual reclamation report. Please add language to <br />section 4.8.1.3 of the permit committing to doing this. <br />2.05.3 Operations Plan — Permit Area <br />DRMS Adequacy Review #4 issue: Based on Trapper's 2013 annual reclamation report, Trapper <br />identified a discrepancy in the accounting of cumulative disturbed acreage at the site. Based on this the <br />Division conducted a review of the permit to determine compliance with Rule 2.05.3(2)(a). Please <br />address the following items: <br />L Section 3.1.4.1 of the permit discusses the mining sequence. Map M4, M10A and M10B depict <br />the disturbance area boundaries for the next permit term. Rule 2.05.3(2)(a) requires the <br />maximum acreage proposed for each phase of the operations within the permit area be specified. <br />For each pit area that has been disturbed and is proposed to be disturbed, please indicate the total <br />area that has been disturbed and the maximum area to be disturbed during the 2013 -2017 permit <br />term. <br />IL Related to the item above, please specify the total disturbed acreage for the site in section 3.1.4.1 <br />of the permit. This acreage should be the total cumulative disturbed area acreage to date less the <br />area that has been Phase III bond release; plus the total proposed disturbance area for the 2013- <br />2017 permit term. This number will be the maximum about of disturbance approved for this <br />permit term. The purpose of this is to verify that Trapper has not disturbed acreage beyond what <br />they have been approved from year to year. The Division acknowledges that Trapper reports the <br />total acreage disturbed for each reporting year in the annual reclamation report. However, the <br />acreage reported in the annual reclamation report does not and should not include areas to be <br />disturbed in the future. The disturbed acreage reported in the ARR should always be less than or <br />equal to the total approved disturbed area acreage that the Division is requesting to be specified in <br />section 3.1.4.1 of the permit. <br />III. It appears based on Map M4, M10A and M10B, Trapper will be mining in the M Pit area. Please <br />add a discussion of mining in this area to section 3.1.4.1 of the permit and include the information <br />required in Rule 2.05.3(2). <br />
