Name of Addressee <br />Page 6 <br />Date <br />14. Division Initial Comment (3/11/2015): On Page 7, language in first 3 paragraphs has been <br />written to speak of future activities ("will be", etc.). Please update the text to reflect current <br />status of these activities. <br />BRL Response: Please see revised page 7. <br />Division response: This item has been adequately addressed. <br />15. Division Initial Comment (3/11/2015): On Page 8, two paragraphs have been added to discuss <br />Borrow areas #1, #2 and #3. The text describes the volume of topsoil potentially available for <br />salvage, but no estimate of the amount of coverfill to be obtained from the borrow areas is <br />given. Please revise the text to give the volume of coverfill that is expected to be gained from <br />these areas. <br />BRL Response: Please see revised page 8 which lists the estimated subsoil that will be <br />generated from the two borrow areas. In addition, page 10 was updated to reflect the change in <br />borrow area configuration. <br />Division Response: This item has been adequately addressed. <br />16. Division Initial Comment (3/11/2015): On Page 16 - Reclamation, the last sentence of the third <br />paragraph appears to be missing some text. Please revise, as appropriate. <br />BRL Response: Please see the corrected text on revised page 16. <br />Division Response: This item has been adequately addressed. <br />17. Division Initial Comment (3/11/2015): On Page 18 - Stability Analysis, the first paragraph lists <br />only Lambert Et Associates and Buckhorn Geotech. Please add Huddleston Berry Engineering Et <br />Testing to the list of geotechnical consultants that have contributed to Volume IX. <br />BRL Response: Please see revised page 18. <br />Division Response: This item has been adequately addressed. <br />18. Division Initial Comment (3/11/2015): To the northeast of the coal mine waste disposal area, <br />there exists a "hole" in the topographic information presented. This gap in data is in a crucial <br />location - the site of proposed Borrow Area #3. Analysis of aerial photos suggests that there is a <br />fairly massive sandstone outcrop some distance above the proposed borrow area cut slope. <br />Without topographic data, we are unable to confirm that the sandstone will not be undermined <br />by the proposed excavation. Any undermining could contribute to toppling of sandstone blocks <br />
