Response: <br />There are 4,840 sq. yds. in one acre. 4,840 sq. yds. X .1667 yards (6") deep of soil equals <br />806.8 cyds. 806.8 cyds. X 3.8 acres, equals 3,065.9 cyds. of topsoil. <br />We have revised the application pages to reflect this correction. <br />3) Under section (b), the applicant estimates a total of 7,251 cubic yards of topsoil <br />will be required to replace 6 inches across 26.95 acres. However, the Division <br />estimates a total of 21,740 cubic yards of topsoil will be required. Please explain <br />and/or correct this discrepancy. <br />Response: <br />There are 4,840 sq. yds. in one acre. 4,840 sq. yds. X 0.1667 — 806.8 cyds. of plant <br />growth material per acre. 26.95 acres X 806.8 cyds. of plant growth materials = <br />21,702.9 cyds. of plant growth material needed for reclamation. Available plant growth <br />material equals approximately 6,454. Approximately 21,703 cyds. of plant growth <br />material is needed for reclamation and 6,454 cyds. of plant growth material is available. <br />Therefore, 15,249 cyds. of plant growth material must either be imported and/or <br />developed on site. Sources of plant growth material may not be available locally. <br />However, if there is an opportunity to import material from the construction site, SEMA <br />will notify the DRMS and get DRMS direction as to what information the DRMS <br />requires in order to authorize SEMA to import plant growth material to the proposed <br />borrow site. <br />We have revised the application pages to reflect this correction. <br />4) Under section (b), the applicant estimates approximately 5,100 cubic yards of <br />topsoil may need to be imported for reclamation. However, the Division <br />estimates a total of 15,287 cubic yards of topsoil may need to be imported for <br />reclamation, given the estimated availability of 6,453 cubic yards of topsoil on <br />site and the proposed replacement depth of 6 inches. Please explain andi"or <br />correct the discrepancy. <br />Response: <br />Approximately 21,703 cyds, of plant growth material is needed for reclamation and 6,454 <br />cyds. of plant growth material is available. Therefore, 15,249 cyds. of plant growth <br />material must either be imported and/or developed on site. <br />We have revised the application pages to reflect this correction. <br />5) Under section (d), the applicant estimates a maximum mining depth of 20 feet. <br />However, the reclamation plan map submitted indicates the southern pit area may <br />
