(h) In conjunction with Exhibit I - Soils Information, Subsection 6.4.9, soils information may be presented on a map in this section; (i)Aerial photos, if available, may be included in this section. EXHIBIT D-Mining Plan (Rule 6.4.4): The mining plan shall supply the following information, correlated with the affected lands,map(s) and timetables: (a) description of the method(s) of mining to be employed in each stage of the operation as related to any surface disturbance on affected lands; The mining plan map will need to depict all relevant features of the existing and proposed operations. These would include, but not be limited to:permit boundary, the locations of all topsoil, overburden and product stockpiles, active mining areas,proposed mining areas,processing equipment such as crushers, conveyors, processing plant, waste disposal areas, etc. The mining plan provided states that there is consumptive use ofprecipitation and `seep"water at the site for processing and dust control. Please provide proof that this zrse of water has been approved by the State Engineer's Office Division of Water Resources (SEO). Does the site currently have an SEO approved well permit and substitute water supply plan?

The geologic cross section referred to as Figure D-6 was not part of the submittal—please include. What analyses of the process waste material have been conducted to demonstrate that it is appropriate to dispose of this material in an open pit containing exposed runoff/groundwater? What analyses have been conducted on the water in the pit to determine if it has been adversely impacted by the existing waste disposal practices? Please demonstrate that the current disposal practice of end-dumping this waste material over the edge of the pit will not adversely impact the long term stability of the reclamation, or negatively impact the quality of the surrounding groundwater or water exposed and remaining in the bottom of the pit area when reclamation is completed. Water issues may also be included in Exhibit G for simplicity. (b) earthmoving; (c) all water diversions and impoundments; and (d) the size of area(s)to be worked at any one time.
