<br />2 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />6.4.5 Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan <br /> <br />4. Response to Adequacy Item 4 is inadequate. <br /> <br />Pursuant to Rule 3.1.9 and Rule 6.4.4, please clarify if the stockpile shown on Drawing <br />C-2a that is identified as “soil stockpile” is the 1,784 cubic yard growth medium <br />stockpile, as referenced in the response. Please revise Drawing C-2a to reflect the <br />correct identification of the stockpile and to eliminate any confusion that this soil is <br />stockpiled for backfilling of the ponds. The Division suggests the Applicant add an <br />insert-map to Drawing C-4b, showing the Carlton Tunnel area and the location of this <br />growth medium stockpile; this will allow one map with consistent formatting that <br />depicts all growth medium storage locations of the Cresson Project. <br /> <br />RESPONSE: The “soil stockpile” identified in Drawing C-2a contains 1,784 cubic <br />yards of growth medium material identified also in Attachment 2, Revised Table 5-4 <br />of Adequacy Review Responses to DRMS Comments on Amendment 11 and Amended <br />Amendment 11 dated July 21, 2016. Submitted with the current responses as <br />Attachment 1, please find a revised Drawing C-2a identifying the stockpiled soil with <br />a perimeter line. This material is not intended for backfilling settling ponds. At the <br />Division’s suggestion, an insert to Drawing C-4b, Revision 3 was completed showing <br />the growth medium storage location at the Carlton Tunnel as a detail to the drawing. <br />These updated drawings are provided in Attachment 1. <br /> <br />10. Response to Adequacy Item 10 is inadequate. <br /> <br />In accordance with Rule 6.4.6(a), please depict, on Drawing F-1, the 254 acres in <br />the Main Cresson Mine and the 311 acres in the East Cresson Wildhorse <br />Extension Mine where the Applicant proposes to not replace plant growth <br />medium. <br /> <br />RESPONSE: Please view Drawing F-1, Revision 4 depicting 264 acres in the Main <br />Cresson mine area and 311 acres in the East Cresson Wildhorse Extension (WHEX) <br />mine area where CC&V proposes no plant growth medium replacement due to steep <br />highwalls. See Attachment 1. <br /> <br />11. Response to Adequacy Item 11 is inadequate. <br /> <br />The response to Adequacy Item 11 and the updated Table 5-4, state that growth <br />medium stockpile 1A/1B is estimated to contain 222,000 cubic yards. The original <br />Table 5-4 stated that this stockpile would be constructed to contain an estimated <br />capacity of 92,000 cubic yards. <br /> <br />Please clarify this discrepancy and provide details on if the addition of 130,000 cubic <br />yards of growth medium would increase the size of stockpile 1A/1B footprint, as
