Do„ald R Cc, aun Jr. <br />January 4, 2016 <br />Page 3 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />(i) <br />State the thickness of plant growth medium to be replaced. Sample and analyse <br />available �uil> >officienrly to a.,iabli�h qua,aity and quality: <br />Please give a depth range for material to be replaced in the 8.14 acre area. <br />From the description -,Taff i, interpreting that 4 of the 6 acre mar di.,tarbance Will be flat enough to <br />have overburden and top -,oil replaced With a deer prior to-eeding. Plea -,e concur or clarify. <br />(ii) <br />State at what point in the mining plan the site will be seeded. Explain how the seedbed <br />will be prepared to eliminate compacted conditions (e.g., plowed, chiseled, disced). <br />State the type, application rate, and soil incorporation methods of fertilizer <br />application, if any. NOTE: Soil amendments shall only Be applied where soil tests <br />indicate nutrient deficiencies for the plant species to be established; <br />Statt interprets that 4 acres of the 8.14 acre mine site will have seed bed preparation and all of the 0.62 <br />stockpile area will have seedbed preparation. Compacted areas will 6e ripped and areas with topsoil or <br />fine overburden will 6e disced. <br />(iv) <br />Specify the application method for grass and forb seeding. If the seed is to be <br />broadcast, the application rate shall be tvvice the rate required for seed drilling. If the <br />seedbed has not been adequately roughened prior to seeding, the seed shall be , aked <br />o, harrowed after broadcast application; <br />Using a combination of drill seeding, crimp mulching and hydroseeding will result in unnecessary <br />mobilization costs. The majority of the site is better suited for spray on applications. The Division will <br />estimate using all hydro seeding and hydromulching with a tackfier for this site. <br />Based on previous sections 5 acres of the 6 acres disturbed in the mining site will need revegetation. <br />All of the 0.62 acre stockpile site will be revegetated. <br />(v) <br />if a mulch i. ,eeaed, specify the kind to 6e used, the crimping method, and rate of <br />application, and <br />It is recommended that in applications where drill seeding is impractical that spray on mulching/erosion <br />control Be used. Please reterence above. <br />6.3.5 <br />EXHIBIT E — Map <br />(1) <br />In addition to the requirements of 6.2.1(2), the Operator/Applicant must provide a <br />map that clearly describes the features associated with the mining plan and the <br />components of the Reclamation Plan. Include one map for the mine plan and one map <br />for the Reclamation Plan. TRe map(s) must Be arawn to a scale no smaller than <br />appropriate to clearly snow ail elements that are required to Be delineated By the Act <br />and these Rules; snow a nortR arrow, note any section corners adjacent to the <br />proposea operation, and indicate tMe date iilustratea. At a minimum, maps must <br />include the following information: <br />Various photos attached can be used as a reterence but cannot be substituted for any of the maps in <br />Exhibit E as they do not meet the requirements of 6.2.1(2). <br />If needed include several maps to convey all information requested below. <br />(2) <br />Mining Plan Map <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />
