LI RAY SILVER NI ES <br /> 20. DAMS Comment:Revegetation (seeding) of the vent shafts is not specifically mentioned. <br /> However AM-], PAR 2, Table L-1 states all topsoiled areas will be seeded. TR-11 <br /> reclamation plan specifies that the backfilled shaft areas will be topsoiled. Please clarify if <br /> seeding of the shaft areas will occur and if so the application type, rate, and if mulching will <br /> be applied. <br /> OSMI Response: See response to Item 6 and the updated Reclamation Plan. The Monogahela <br /> Shaft in Governor Basin will be reclaimed using native materials and rock to blend in with the <br /> native landscape. This area will not receive topsoil or seeding. The other two shafts,the Yellow <br /> Rose and the 360 will be seeded via broadcast seeding. <br /> Site Grading to 2:1 <br /> 21. DRMS Comment:Please provide the number of cubic yards to be moved, material <br /> type%onsistency,push distance and grade for each major area to be re-contoured. Previous <br /> calculations have used a total of 47,000 CY with no indication as to where this volume came <br /> from. The Division will consider overburden replacement and general site grading as the <br /> same task. If volumes change depending on mining phases also give the volumes per area in <br /> terms of mining phase. <br /> OSMI Response: The contours shown on Maps 17-1 and F-la are the existing contours with the <br /> exception of the TSFs. The TSFs are built to final reclamation grades. There are no plans to <br /> regrade at the site. This line item was removed from the bond calculation in Exhibit L. <br /> 22. DRMS Comment:Previous calculations have accounted for backfilling of sediment ponds 2 <br /> and 3. Given that these ponds are part of the water treatment system this seems impractical. <br /> Is there any site grading remaining specifically for the areas around the ponds for final <br /> reclamation configuration? <br /> OSMI Response: There are no plans to backfill or regrade sediment ponds 2 and 3 as both <br /> ponds were constructed to blend in with the existing contours at the site. <br /> 23. DRMS Comment.In the reclamation plan pocking is mentioned. Where will this surface <br /> roughening be applied, how many acres, how big/frequency of the pocks? <br /> OSMI Response: Reseeding will be applied via broadcast seeding. The reference to pocking has <br /> been removed. <br /> Topsoil/Cap Rock Application <br /> 24. DRMS Comment:Provide the total number of acres to receive topsoil at each Tailing <br /> Storage Facility(TSF). Will any other areas require topsoil application? <br /> OSMI Response: The Revenue TSF will receive 2.1 acres of topsoil, and the Atlas TSF will <br /> receive 1.2 acres of topsoil. <br /> 141Page <br />
