2.04.9 — Soils Resource Information <br />Exhibit 13 contains a report titled "Soils Inventory Mine Facilities, Disposal Site, and Pit 6 & 7 Areas," by <br />Jim Walsh dated June 1, 1979. According to the report, there are two maps that depict the soil resource <br />study area. The Division could not locate these maps within the permit. Please provide a copy of these <br />maps. <br />2.04.12 Prime Farmland Investigation <br />6. The Williams Fork permit states that the BLM made a negative determination for the presence of prime <br />farmland based on soil type and precipitation. The BLM correspondence to support this statement was not <br />found in the permit. Please provide this correspondence <br />2.05.4 — Reclamation Plan <br />7. Please update the Redistribution of Soils Materials section of the permit to indicate that topsoil replacement <br />depths for the various disturbed areas are specified in Tables 58 to 62. <br />8. The Division could not locate in the reclamation plan a description of measures to be employed to ensure <br />that all debris, including but not limited to acid-forming and toxic forming materials that constituting a fire <br />hazard, are disposed of in accordance with Rules 4.11.4 and 4.14.3 and the description of the contingency <br />plans which have been developed to preclude sustained combustion of such materials as required by Rule <br />2.05.4(2)(f). Please update the reclamation plan to include these descriptions. <br />2.05.6 — Mitigation of Impacts <br />9. The Fish and Wildlife Plan beginning on Page 2.05-35.2 of the permit does not fully address the items <br />required under Rule 2.05.6(2). A number of fish and wildlife species are identified to exist and/or occur <br />within the permit and affected area. Please update the Fish and Wildlife Plan to discuss how future mining, <br />reclamation and site maintenance operations will minimize disturbances and adverse impacts to fish and <br />wildlife species. Please review Rule 4.18(5) to help formulate a wildlife protection plan. <br />10. According to the fish and wildlife plan, no rare or endangered species were observed within the permit area <br />during the collection of baseline wildlife resource information. However, the potential exists for threatened <br />and endangered species to be exist and/or occur within the permit and affected area. Section 2.04.11 of the <br />permit discusses the species that may exist within the permit area. The fish and wildlife plan discusses the <br />protection of raptors and the procedure that will be followed should threatened and endangered species be <br />observed at the site. However, the plan does not discuss potential impact control measures and management <br />techniques that will be utilized for future mining, reclamation and site maintenance operations to protect <br />the threatened and endangered species that may exist and/or occur within the permit area in accordance <br />with Rule 2.05.6(2)(a)(iii)(A). For each of the threatened and endangered species listed in Section 2.04.11 <br />of the permit that may exist and/or occur within the permit area, please provide an plan that discusses impact <br />control measures and management techniques that will be utilized. <br />11. Please update Map #25 to depict and or label the following structures and renewable resource lands: oil <br />pipeline, County Road 107, Irrigation Ditches, Yampa River and Williams Fork River. <br />C1981044 Midterm 2016 Findings.docx Page 7 <br />
