' o . Transit Mix Concrete Co. <br /> description, haul or push distances, average push gradient, and type and number of <br /> equipment used to complete that specific task. Some examples of how the Division needs <br /> the earthwork tasks separated in order to complete the bond calculation are as follows: <br /> Load subsoil from F 1 for highwall benches; Haul subsoil from F 1 to highwall benches; <br /> Spread subsoil on highwall benches; Load topsoil from TS 1 for highwall benches; Haul <br /> topsoil from TS 1 to highwall benches; Spread topsoil on highwall benches. Please be sure <br /> all earthwork tasks in your bond estimate are appropriately labeled. <br /> Response: The reclamation tasks have been updated to illustrate material movement from <br /> individual stockpiles (i.e.: TS1, TS2, F1, etc.) to areas where material (topsoil or subsoil) <br /> will ultimately be placed. <br /> 101) On page 26 of the cost estimate, the revegetation summary includes acreages that vary <br /> slightly from those given on page L-7 of this exhibit. On page 26, mixed conifer slopes and <br /> pit bottoms total 79.84 acres (33.22 acres + 46.62 aces); whereas on page L-7, the mixed <br /> conifer area is 63.33 acres. On page 26, the riparian area is 2.87 acres; whereas on page L- <br /> 7, the riparian area is 2.83 acres. Additionally, on page 26, the total affected area to receive <br /> grass seeding is 155.77 acres; whereas on page L-7, the total affected area which would <br /> receive grass seeding is 159.92 acres. Please explain or correct these errors. It is the <br /> Division's understanding that all disturbed areas during mining phase III, besides the <br /> highwall slopes, would be seeded with grasses, then, if not to be left as grassland, will be <br /> planted with the appropriate revegetation mixture (i.e., mixed conifer, mountain shrubland, <br /> riparian). If this is not the case, please clarify here and in Exhibit E. <br /> Response: The revegetation summary has been updated and matches Table L-2. The text <br /> on Page L-7 has been updated to reflect the adjustments made in the bond calculation <br /> tables. <br /> 102) On page 26 of the cost estimate, the revegetation summary should include the seed or plant <br /> species for each revegetation category (rather than initialisms such as DF for Douglas Fir). <br /> The grass seeding costs should include the grass seed mixture. Additionally, please specify <br /> quantities per acre for each species rather than giving percentages. If more than one <br /> mixture will be used for a particular revegetation category, as discussed above under <br /> Exhibit E (i.e., for Mountain Shrubland), please be sure this is reflected in the revegetation <br /> summary on page 26. <br /> Response: The cost estimate has been formatted to more clearly present the seed and plant <br /> species and the seeding rates. The initialisms have been left in the respective sheet, <br /> however a key has been provided below the table. The quantities per acre have been <br /> included with the given percentages. <br /> 103) Will subsoil be placed on the access road for reclamation prior to topsoil replacement (as <br /> will be done in the pit area)? If so, please specify which fines/overburden stockpile the <br /> subsoil will be hauled from for placement on the access road. Additionally, please be sure <br /> costs for this specific task are included in the bond estimate, and the task worksheet is <br /> appropriately labeled <br /> Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry(M-2017-049) <br /> Response to Comments—March 9,2018 <br />
