Mr. Brock Bowles <br />August 10, 2015 <br />Page 5 <br />Response: The entire Section 2.05.4(2)(d) narrative has been updated and resubmitted, <br />including clarifying where the Bench 1 material, mixed topsoil, and Garvey Progresso <br />topsoil will be stored. <br />3) On page 13, the last sentence of the first paragraph states that Map 2.05.3(3)-3 has <br />topsoil pile configurations and slopes. The current Map 2.05.3(3)-3 of the permit <br />illustrates the haul road. A review of the permit reveals that there is not a map showing <br />topsoil pile configurations and slopes. Please submit a map showing the locations of the <br />bench I material pile(s), all topsoil piles, Garvey Progresso piles, pile configurations, <br />slopes and volumes of each pile. Also, amend the text to reference the correct map. <br />Response: Map 2.05.4(2)(d)-2 has been included which shows the locations of the <br />overburden stockpile (Bench 1 and Overburden material), Progresso topsoil stockpiles, <br />and mixed topsoil stockpiles. The volumes of each stockpile have been included in the <br />Annual Reclamation Report and will be updated on an annual basis. Also, the text in <br />section 2.05.2(4)(d) has been updated to reference the correct map. <br />4) On page 17, the last paragraph references Map 2.04.9-4 — NHN, Topsoil Salvage Map. <br />The correct map number is 2.04.9-3. Please amend the text to reflect the correct map. <br />Response: The text has been changed to reference Map 2.04.9-3. <br />2.05.4(2)(f) — Fire Hazards <br />1) The permit does not contain the required description of contingency plans developed to <br />preclude sustained combustion of materials constituting afire hazard. Please amend the <br />permit to address this topic. <br />Response: The permit has been updated to include a Section 2.05.4(2)(f) which addresses <br />disposal of materials constituting a fire hazard. <br />2.05.5(1) — Post Mining Land Use <br />1) Page 5, fourth paragraph, states that "Additional details of the proposed wetland <br />mitigation as well as the extent of actual impacts to jurisdictional wetlands is being <br />prepared in the 404 permit which will be submitted to the U.S Army Corps of <br />Engineers... " and that a copy of WFC's 404 application will be submitted to the <br />Division. It does not appear that DRMS received a copy of the application or permit. <br />Please provide a copy of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit or an update on <br />the status of the permit application. <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY / AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER <br />A Touchstone Energy' Cooperative ' <br />
