RE: J-2 Contracting Company. — DPG Pit— Permit No. M-2019-028
112(c) Permit Application
Adequacy Review No. 2 Response
Dear Ms. Eschberger,
J-2 Contracting Company (J-2) has received the Division's Adequacy Review No. 2 comments
letter dated September 13, 2019. Below are the comments and the corresponding
responses that have been provided to address the comments.
Exhibit C — Pre-mining and Mining Plan Map(s) of Affected Lands (Rule 6.4.3):
1) The revised C-1 — Pre-Mining Plan Map states the Total Permit / Affected Lands Area =
227.52 acres. Additionally, the revised Exhibit D text states the permit boundary will
encompass approximately 227.52 acres which will all be affected acreage. However, page
1 of the application form is proposing a permitted acreage of 228.02 acres. Please be sure
the proposed permit area/affected area is consistent throughout all application materials,
including page 1 of the application form.
Response: The permitted acreage is 227.52 acres. Page 1 of the application has been
revised and is included as an attachment.
Exhibit D — Mining Plan (Rule 6.4.4):
2) The operator's response to item no. 14 states the proposed maximum disturbed area has
been calculated for the initial mining phase and areas that will be disturbed. However, the
response does not specify the proposed maximum disturbed area. Based on the revised
Exhibit L map and bond estimate submitted, it appears the operator is proposing a
maximum disturbed area of 92.55 acres. Please confirm the operator is proposing a
maximum disturbed area at this time of 92.55 acres.
Response: The proposed maximum disturbed area at this time is 92.55 acres.
Exhibit J — Vegetation Information (Rule 6.4.10):
3) The operator's response to item no. 44 state a determination has been completed by the
(U.S.) Army Corps of Engineers, and a copy has been provided to DRMS. However, the
Division was unable to find this determination letter in the materials submitted. Please
provide a copy of this determination.
Response: The determination is in process with the Army Corps of Engineers. We met
