Applicant's Response:
All structures located within the boundaries of the affected land are owned by the
Applicant and will be removed prior to mining. All structures located within 200 feet
of the affected land have been previously identified on Exhibit C.
A list of "Permanent Man -Made Structures" within 200 feet of the mining limits and
the owners of these structures is included with this Adequacy Review Response
document as attachment number 12.
Pursuant to Rule 6.4.19 the Applicant has sent letters to the owners of "Permanent
Man -Made Structures" within 200 feet of the mining limits offering to enter into an
agreement with the owner agreeing to provide compensation for any damage to the
structure as a result of the applicants mining and reclamation activities. A copy of the
transmittal letter and proposed agreement with United Power can be found in the
attachment section of the Adequacy Review Response (see attachment number 8) and
is typical of what the Applicant has sent to the owners of other "Permanent Man -Made
Structures" within 200 feet of the amended mining limits.
6.4.4 EXHIBIT 11 -MINING PLAN
5. "With this amendment, Ready Mixed Pit No. 1 (M-1985-017) will be incorporated into
the permit area, it states in the mine plan and the legal description in Exhibit A, that
this site comprises approximately 38.3 acres, however in the introduction section of the
application and the Divisions records indicate that there should only be 36.1 acres in
the permit area. Please explain this discrepancy."
Applicant's Response:
The apparent 2.2 acre discrepancy is the result of two different legal descriptions;
however, for the purpose of the permit amendment the larger of the two areas (38.3
acres) is included in the total permit amendment area and should be considered as the
correct area.
6. "Please state what depth the topsoil will be stripped and what depth the overburden
will be stripped. Please show where the topsoil piles and overburden stockpiles will be
stored for the remainder of the operation on the mining plan map... "
Applicant's Response:
The combined topsoil and overburden thickness ranges from 0.0 feet to a maximum of
17 feet with an average combined thickness of 8 feet. Typically, topsoil depths on the
subject property range in thickness from 1 to 3 feet with the overburden making up the
balance of the combined 8 foot thickness. Topsoil and overburden stockpile locations
are shown on the attached revised Mining Plan drawing (Exhibit D attachment number
4).
