a Transit Mix Concrete Co. <br /> Applicant states that all affected areas will be seeded with the grass seed mixture included <br /> in Table E-3 to provide a base revegetated cover. Therefore, please confirm that all <br /> disturbed areas (159.92 acres) will be seeded with the grass seed mixture. Additionally, <br /> please explain if the total given in Table L-2 for areas to be revegetated to Grassland (60.90 <br /> acres) was meant to include areas to only be seeded with the grass mixture. <br /> Response: All reclamation areas will be seeded with the grass seed mixture to establish a <br /> grass understory. Therefore, 139.51 acres will be seeded. The remaining 20.41 acres are <br /> highwall slope that will not be revegetated. The Revegetation Summary table in the bond <br /> estimate has been updated to show seeding for all reclaimed areas. Additionally, <br /> Grasslands have been added to this same table to show the acreage that corresponds to the <br /> Tables L-1 and L-2 and Figure L-3. <br /> 93) On page L-4, Table L-2, areas that will be revegetated to Riparian include only the Pit <br /> Floor/Stockpile Tops. However, Figure F-1 shows a small section of the access road (at the <br /> Little Turkey Creek crossing) to also be reclaimed to Riparian Area. Is this area included in <br /> the Riparian acreage on Table L-2? <br /> Response: Table L-2 has been revised to include the riparian reclamation area along the <br /> access road. <br /> 94) On page L-7, the Applicant states the revegetation summary provides the total affected area <br /> consisting of 159.92 acres with the steep highwall slopes consisting of 16.50 acres being <br /> excluded from revegetation. However, in Tables L-1 and L-2, the value given for highwall <br /> slopes is 20.41 acres (16.50 acres is given for highwall benches). Does this mean the <br /> acreage given for remaining areas that will be revegetated (143.42 acres) is incorrect? Is the <br /> acreage given for Mixed Conifer (63.33 acres) also incorrect? Please clarify or correct any <br /> errors as necessary. <br /> Response: The number for highwall slopes and highwall benches was reversed; they <br /> should have read highwall slope 20.41 ac and highwall benches 16.50 ac; similar to table <br /> L-1 and L-2. Also, as noted the acreage for highwall slopes (20.41) has been removed from <br /> the calculations and the bond estimate has been updated accordingly. <br /> 95) On page L-7, the Applicant states that 60.90 acres will be revegetated to Grassland. <br /> However, in Exhibit E (on page E-8), the Applicant states that all affected areas will be <br /> seeded with the grass seed mixture included in Table E-3 to provide a base revegetated <br /> cover. Please clarify or correct any errors as necessary. <br /> Response: All reclamation areas will be seeded with the grass seed mixture to establish a <br /> grass understory. The Revegetation Summary table in the bond estimate has been updated <br /> to show seeding for all reclaimed areas. Additionally, Grasslands have been added to this <br /> same table to show the acreage that corresponds to the Tables L-1 and L-2 and Figure F-1. <br /> The total acreage to be seeded is 139.51 acres, and of this area, 60.87 acres will remain as <br /> Grassland. <br /> Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry(M-2017-049) <br /> Response to Comments—March 9,2018 <br />
