Environment, Inc. Page 4 Summit Brick and Tile Company Native/Pierre Mine Adequacy Response 01 December 10, 2020 15. Please clarify if the operator intends to use broadcast seeding methods. Broadcast seeding will be used for the seedbed areas. I have corrected the Exhibit L - Reclamation Cost Estimate to remove any reference to drilling. EXHIBIT G—Water Information (Rule 6.4.7): 16. Please incorporate comments made the Division of Water Resources, see Attachment 1, regarding the exposure of groundwater, storm water detention structures and source of water used for dust control into this section. The second paragraph of this exhibit states that no groundwater will be exposed. Section CRS 37-92-602(8)(i)(A) states (A) Is owned or operated by a governmental entity or is subject to oversight by a-governmental entity; The stormwater ponds, proposes are effectively shallow depressions that capture the minor amount of stormwater that runs off the disturbed area right after a storm. Summit Brick is not a government agency so these ponds are not required to be registered. A statement to this affect has been added to Exhibit G. Exhibit G says the water used at the mine is hauled from the Brick Plant. This water comes from the city water system. As industrial use water it is an allowed for used at the mine and has been going on for at least 50 years. EXHIBIT J—Vegetation Information (Rule 6.4.10): 17. Please provide the relationship of present vegetation types to soil types, or alternatively, the information may be presented on a map pursuant to Rule 6.4.10(1)(b). I revised Exhibit J to show the undisturbed area vegetation and added a Vegetation map - Figure J-1 show the vegetation areas on a soils map. EXHIBIT M—Other Permits and Licenses (Rule 6.4.13): 18. In item #2, it is stated that the area covered by the Pueblo County Exemption is shown on Map Exhibit C yet the Division does not see where this is indicated, please show this area. The explanation in Item #2 was a mistake it should have referred to the City of Pueblo since the permit area is within the limits of the Pueblo. I have corrected that item and enclosed copies of the 1977 Non-conforming use documents for your review. The map attached to the non-conforming certification, shows the area encompasses the 35.23 acres we have included in the permit. A copy may be in the existing file but to keep the file current I have revised Exhibit M - Other Permit and Licenses to include these documents. 19. Please commit to providing copies of all the new and or updated permits once they are approved. Summit will submit copies of all new and updated permit listed in Exhibit M, if needed, as they become available.
