Summit Brick and Tile Company Fox No 1 Clay Pit <br /> M-1977-219 -Adequacy Response#1 November 13, 2017 <br /> will be mined 3h to lv so the wells will not be disturbed by <br /> mining. <br /> On Area S, south of the existing mine (Langdon- property) and the <br /> west and north sides a 50-foot excavation setback will be <br /> maintained from the permit line . <br /> There are no designated setbacks for structures outside the <br /> permit area. we believe that the 50-foot excavation setback is <br /> adequate and that a geotechnical analysis will show that the <br /> proposed excavation setbacks will be adequate to protect any <br /> permanent manmade structures around the mines perimeter. <br /> 18. Please provide details of the mining and final reclamation slopes around the two <br /> structures (dwellings located in the northern and southern portion of the permit) which <br /> will be mined around. The Exhibit F - Reclamation Plan Map shows these slopes as the <br /> same hatch pattern as the final slopes associated with the proposed vertical sandstone <br /> highwalls. Please also provide details on how access to the dwellings will be maintained <br /> during mining and re-established during reclamation. <br /> These slopes will be mined 3h to lv so the owners will always <br /> have access . I have labeled these slopes on the revised maps . <br /> The cross sections through these areas show the slopes are 3h: ly. <br /> In Area S, mining the areas east of the house would be mined last <br /> so a new access road would be built down the east slope of the <br /> mine across the floor and up the south side of the slope into the <br /> yard area before the existing road is removed. In Area F, the <br /> Ballard road will remain in place until the east side of the <br /> setback area is mined then the new road would be built on the <br /> floor of the mine . In this plan Summit will not mine the area <br /> where their driveways are until replacement roads can be built . <br /> 19. The Applicant proposes to have a 40-acre phased mining/bonding operation. Please <br /> commit to contacting the Division for approval prior to disturbing more than a total of 40 <br /> acres. The request shall include updated maps and the estimated reclamation costs that <br /> would be required for opening the additional acreage. The Division will review and <br /> calculate a new Finical Warranty amount, issuing a Surety Increase revision if necessary. <br /> Once the additional amount is posted the Operator will be approved for the new acres. <br /> Please note, the Applicant may submit a surety reduction request for specific reclamation <br /> 9' <br />
