17. Provide a short summary of the reclamation measures to take place at each project area given that <br /> mining methodologies vary based on project area. <br /> This has been addressed in Exhibit D—Question 11 <br /> 18. Question 3-Per Rule 6.3.4(1)(b)-Provide a justification to support slopes steeper than a 3H:1V. <br /> The only location that may exceed this spec is the Connector Project Area, due to the natural <br /> slope of that section. We will mitigate the section the best we can. BLM has talked of putting a <br /> "half pipe"over the Midway portal to prevent future erosion from causing issues. Miners Mall is <br /> willing to work with the BLM on this issue, as well as the DRMS on resolving a permanent <br /> solution to this area. <br /> 19. Question 4-Per Rule 6.3.4(1)(c)(i)-Give the anticipated range of topsoil application to be reapplied <br /> during reclamation. Material type is noted as rock/soil mixture.Alternatively provide the estimate <br /> number of cubic yards to be handled at each project area. <br /> Project Area Ridgetop Siberia Midway Connector Purple Pipe Unnamed <br /> anticipated This project 1-2 inches None None <br /> topsoil to be 3-5 inches None hopes to if needed <br /> reapplied create <br /> enriched soil <br /> estimated Waste Rock= None 750 cubic Waste Waste Unknown <br /> cubic yards 225 cubic yards of soil Rock= 125 Rock= 125 <br /> to be yards to be cubic yards cubic yards <br /> handled Soil Storage= enriched Soil Soil <br /> 275 cubic with organic Storage= Storage= <br /> yards material 75 cubic 50 cubic <br /> 125 cubic yards* yards <br /> yards of rock <br /> —to be used <br /> to provide <br /> underlying <br /> terrace <br /> foundation* <br /> *Note that this material <br /> handling IS a reclamation <br /> project! <br /> 20. Question 6-Per Rule 6.3.4(1)(c)(iv)-Once see is hand applied will it be raked into the soil. <br /> The ground will be hand-ripped, mulch and seed applied then hand ripped again to half the <br /> depth of the previous ripping to allow mixing of the soil, mulch, and seed. <br /> 21. Question 9-Per Rule 6.3.4(1)(c)(v)-State the application method used for spreading straw mulch <br /> and clarify if it will be crimped/tacked down in any way. <br /> The ground will be hand-ripped, mulch and seed applied then hand ripped again to half the <br /> depth of the previous ripping to allow mixing of the soil, mulch, and seed. <br />
