DRMS: 7 September: <br />c) No electronic copy was supplied. Please provide electronic copies of all revised pages. <br />d) The pagination on the revised pages submitted appears incorrect. Please verify and resubmit correctly <br />paginated pages. <br />e) Paragraph two on submitted page 33 refers to removing "gravels from upstream portions of culverts." <br />Please indicate if the reference is to all culverts at the site or, to specific culverts. If the reference is to <br />specific culverts please indicate those culverts. <br />f) Please include in the discussion of mine water pumping the elevation of the Bates Portal. <br />g) Please update these pages to include the locations in the permit of referenced tables, figures and <br />documents, for example: the hydrologic monitoring plan was referenced, please indicate the permit <br />volume, section and page numbers where this document is located also, provide the same detail on the <br />location of the referenced Table 24 and Figure 5. <br />h) The Development Waste Pile (DWP) is referenced in the text but maps refer to: <br />o Refuse Disposal Area (RDA) <br />o Development Coal Waste Pile (Reclaimed) <br />o Development Waste Disposal Area 2, <br />Please utilize consistent language when referring to named facilities and locations and resubmit page <br />with corrected text. <br />Also, indicate if DWD#2 is actively in use. <br />#14 The non -coal waste disposal area shown on Map 21 has been reclaimed and Phase I bond released. <br />This map was retained in the permit at the request of DBMS as it is still a partially bonded facility. New Elk <br />believes that the use of portable dumpsters with transport to appropriately permitted off-site waste disposal sites <br />and recycling centers provides a more acceptable method of handling these wastes than an on-site disposal <br />area. <br />As these dumpsters are temporary and portable, they can be relocated within the disturbance areas to be most <br />efficiently utilized to accumulate these wastes. Surface run-off is controlled and handled in accord with the <br />sediment control plan. <br />The area in question on Map 21 has been re permitted as a pond sediment drying area for sediment recovered <br />from sediment ponds during cleanout and prior to transport to a permanent waste disposal area. This use has not <br />been bonded and will not be implemented until the appropriate bond is submitted and accepted by DRMS. This is <br />noted on Map 14. <br />DRMS 7 September 2016: <br />i) Please provide revised pages (and electronic file), with the above discussion for insertion into the proper section <br />of the permit. <br />#I5 New Elk respectfully suggests that the boreholes, wells and shafts have been properly designed and <br />permitted. Further action is unnecessary at this time but may be appropriate if another similar facility is planned <br />and submitted to DBMS for permitting approval. <br />DRMS 7 September 2016: DRMS is currently reviewing the borehole, well and shaft designs. <br />#17 The Table of Contents has been revised and was submitted to DBMS on May 18, 2016. New copies are <br />provided with this response. <br />DRMS 7 September 2016: <br />P Please update as necessary the Table of Contents with any changes resulting from this review, adding a column <br />name to the right most column; assuring that header names appear at the top of each page. <br />New Elk Adq Review #5 Page 2 <br />September 2016 Prepared by: R.
