A previous MR -17 was submitted by <br />Tri-State on June 14, 2016 and was subsequently withdrawn on July 20, 2016. To maintain <br />numerical consistency and prevent confusion, the Division renumbered the MR -17 submitted <br />on March 31, 2017 as MR -18. <br />Response: All reference to MR -17 in this application has been changed to MR -18. <br />2) On page 21 of Section 2.05.4(2)(e), a third seeding timeframe (April I to May 31) was added <br />for the dryland pasture post mining land use. Please add to the paragraph that this new <br />seeding time of April 1 to May 31 will only apply to the land that ERMR owns <br />(ERMR/Meehan). <br />Response: Page 21 has been revised to indicate that the new Dryland Pasture seeding time <br />frame of April to May 31 applies only to the ERMR-Meehan property. <br />Also included with this adequacy response package are materials revised in response to <br />your adequacy comments and a change of index sheet to ease incorporation of this material into <br />the permit document.
