Dear Eric,
RE: L.G. Everist, Inc.
Ragsdale Reservoirs, Permit # M-2020-007
Adequacy Response #1
On behalf of our client L.G. Everist, Inc., I will respond to your second adequacy review
letter dated May 14, 2020, in the order and number format presented in that document.
EXHIBIT C - pre-mining and Mining Plan Map(s) of Affected Lands (Rule 6.4.3):
Please show the proposed locations of site facilities such as: processing plant, office, scale,
settling pond, conveyor routes, etc. on the mining plan map. Costs for removing/reclaiming
these features will need to be included in Exhibit L — Reclamation Costs.
The exact layout of the Processing Plant, office and scale are not known at this
time. Map Exhibit CA - Phase 3 Plant Site Map shows the approximate areas
where the processing plant, material stockpiles, scale house/office and scales will
be located. The area on the north end of Phase 3 will be used to stockpile
reclamation materials and as an overflow area for finished material stockpiles as
needed. The settling ponds will be located in Phase 1A as long as Phase 3 is the
processing area. The plan is to divide Phase 1A into 2 cells, that will filter and
recycle the wash water back to the plant. The southern end will be where the
process water enters the settling pond facility and heavier material settles out.
The northern area will be the fresh water pond. Periodically, the southern cell will
be cleaned out of accumulated fines which can be used for reclamation.
The processing plants, office/scale house, scale and conveyors are not permanent
facilities and would be removed by the equipment owners prior to reclamation being
