X� <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />October 13, 2016 <br />Page 3 <br />d. There is a reduction of. 09 acres associated with Pastureland— Irrigated Swales (IPSW). <br />Response: Please see the response to comment 1(a). The 0.09 acres is an acceptable <br />rounding error when calculating acres. <br />e. There is a. 19 acre reduction in the Developed Water Resource (P) acreage. <br />Response: Please see the response to comment 1(a). The 0.19 acre reduction is more <br />than likely rounding error when calculating acres. <br />f. There is a 1.58 or 1.56 acre difference in the Commercial Roads (R) acreage. <br />Response: Please see the response to comment 1(a). <br />g. The current proposed map legend indicates 15.9 acres are designated for Adjacent <br />Support Facilities (ASF), however three parcels totaling 16.8 acres are shown as ASF. <br />Response: This comment is no longer applicable after addressing comment 4 below. <br />Please see the response to comment 4. The Adjacent Support Facilities areas have been <br />updated on Map 2.05.4-5 and now total 12.7 acres respectively. <br />h. The total of all the various Post -mine Vegetation Type parcels shown on the currently <br />approved Table 2.05.4(2)(e)-1 is 827.44 acres and the sum of the all the acres shown on <br />proposed revised map 2.05.4-5 with the parcels and on the legend is 750.12 and 750.34 <br />acres respectively. Now, it appears the applicant is no longer accounting for 62.4 acres <br />of Rangeland that is undisturbed (R -U). Given this, there is approximately 14.92 acres <br />[827.44 (-) 750.12 (-) 62.4] or 14.7 acres [827.44 () 750.34 (-) 62.4] of difference <br />between the acreage shown on the currently approved Table 2.05.4(2)(e)-1. Please <br />explain or correct this reduction in disturbed acreage. <br />Response: Please see the response to comment 1(a). <br />2. Please update Map 2.05.4-5 to include the Rangeland —Undisturbed areas (R -U) as these <br />areas are discussed in the permit text. <br />Response: As stated under Section 2.05.4(2)(e), 2.5 Rangeland — Undisturbed (R -U), these <br />are areas that, "have not been disturbed by mining activities". Map 2.05.4-5 contains the <br />disturbance boundary and these areas are outside of that boundary. They have not been <br />added to the map as requested as the narrative is sufficient. <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY / AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER <br />A Touchstone Energy' Cooperative <br />
