Andy Rodriguez <br /> March 23,2020 <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br /> approved for this kind of consumptive use? Later in the application it is stated that the site will be reclaimed as <br /> "dryland"because there are no water rights. Please edit for consistency. <br /> Section(f)(i)—what is the approximate thickness of the overburden on the amended property? <br /> At what point in the mining of the amended property will the slurry walls/spillways for cells 2A and 3 be <br /> installed? <br /> What activity is planned for the approximately 20 acre area north of the section line north of Cell 3? It appears <br /> that this area may contain sensitive areas such as wetlands, and there is no discussion of use in the mining plan or <br /> anything shown on the mining plan map. If that area is not going to be affected,why is it included in the <br /> proposed permit area? <br /> What type of conveyor crossings are proposed to move material across the county roads, and what approvals will <br /> be required prior to construction of the conveyor crossing(s)? <br /> What, if any,replacement will be provided for the function of the private lateral that will be removed during <br /> mining of Cell I? <br /> EXHIBIT E-Reclamation Plan(Rule 6.4.5): <br /> Pond E has been omitted from the summary of the Main Shores Mine Area. Has the clay liner for Pond E been <br /> approved by the SEO? <br /> Section(a)states that the mined area will be returned to existing grade. Would it be correct to assume that this is <br /> only applicable to all areas other than Cells 2A and 3? <br /> Section(a)states that once the site is returned to pre-mining grade,the site can return to being farmed. The <br /> reclamation plan provided(6"topsoil replaced, dryland grass seed mix, etc.)does not appear to lend itself to crop <br /> production or pastureland.What type of farming is proposed? If farming is not proposed,please revise as <br /> appropriate. <br /> EXHIBIT F-Reclamation Plan Map(Rule 6.4.6): <br /> Figure 6 shows Pond A as reclaimed to native grade,please revise as appropriate. <br /> EXHIBIT G-Water Information(Rule 6.4.7): <br /> (2)If the operation is expected to directly affect surface or groundwater systems,you shall: <br /> (a)Locate on the map (in Exhibit C)tributary water courses,wells, springs, stock water ponds,reservoirs, <br /> and ditches on the affected land and on adjacent lands where such structures may be affected by the <br /> proposed mining operations; <br /> Residential wells referred to in Exhibit G(a)are not shown on the provided figures for existing conditions, <br /> or structures(Figures 2 and 3). <br />
