The items listed below include DRMS Review 3; GLA Response 3; DRMS <br /> Review 4 or 5; and GLA Response 5. This Adequacy Response 5 information follows the most <br /> recent DRMS review comments detailed in Adequacy Reviews 4 and 5. <br /> Adequacy Review No. 1 —Items identified in the DRMS letter dated January 8, 2018. <br /> Rule 6.3.4 Exhibit D—Reclamation Plan <br /> 8. The Applicant's plan to close the mine openings using welded rebar cemented into place <br /> is not consistent with the standard adit closure practices. The Division recommends <br /> installing a grated adit closure with doors to allow the landowner access or a wire rope <br /> netting closure. Details regarding the specifications, materials required and the execution <br /> of these types of closures are available on the Division's website: (DRMS link, not <br /> included here). This document is the General Bid Specifications guide that our Inactive <br /> Mine Program uses as a standard for mine closures similar to this. The Division would <br /> accept a plan for closure of the mine openings consistent with these standard practices. <br /> a. DRMS Response 3: Please clarify, is the applicant proposing a different closure <br /> method than that was originally proposed with the AM02 submittal? If a closure <br /> method is selected from the IMP guide, please indicate which closure method will <br /> be used. <br /> b. GLA Response 3: The Operator wishes to utilize the `Adit backfilling—Rockfill' <br /> method as defined on page 36/132 on the DRMS General Bid Specification guide <br /> detailed in your Adequacy Review dated June 18, 2018. Furthermore, the Rose <br /> Red Quarry wishes to remove the eastern most adit from their mine plan and will <br /> now and in the future operate using the two adits currently in place—Room #1 <br /> 1 <br />
