s <br /> ti< ; <br /> ---------- <br /> Operator Provided Tab V—Phase 1 Reclamation Amendments <br /> • 55. It is unclear to the Division why this section was included in the Amendment 5 <br /> application. The Division acknowledges that the submittal is Exhibit E Reclamation <br /> Plan from Amendment 4. However, it is not clear what sections the operator would <br /> include in the current amendment application. Please clarify and explain why this <br /> section was included. For completeness the operator should include all exhibits, i.e., <br /> cross-sections and maps, which are referenced in this section. <br /> ➢ Response: We have provided new reclamation Maps and plans to replace the <br /> Exhibit E. We ask to remove the information provided in this section. <br /> • 56. The settling basins have not been used in a couple of years and photos from the <br /> 2019 inspection show small trees and weeds becoming established on the floor of <br /> the basins. The Division does not believe the reclamation plan of these basins <br /> outlined in this section reflect current site conditions. Please provide a detailed <br /> reclamation plan for the settling basins. Also see comment#23. <br /> ➢ Response: <br /> ✓ We will first need to determine if the two settling basins are now considered <br /> jurisdictional wetlands, if so, they will be left as is. <br /> ✓ The settling basins at this point are scheduled to be backfilled, provided there is <br /> sufficient available backfill. They will be left for invasion by natural vegetation <br /> as proposed for the rest of Phase 7. <br /> ✓ If sufficient backfill is not available, they will be backfilled to the extent <br /> available backfill is available and be left as a potential wetland. Again, they will <br /> be left for invasion by natural vegetation as proposed for the rest of Phase 7 <br /> ✓ We addressed the reclamation of these basins in our response to item#23. <br /> 30 <br />
