11. Estimated Depths of materials-According to NRCS,the overburden thickness is 10-20 inches until <br /> get to bedrock. NRCS states that Organic matter content in the surface horizon is about 2 percent. <br /> According to the NRCS we will have plenty of material to store for reclamation. <br /> 12. Blasting Plan:The response was adequate. <br /> 13. Mining verses groundwater depth:The response was adequate. <br /> 14.Water Usage. We will use a 6000gal water tank to haul water from Westcliffe, Co to pit and <br /> water usage varies if production is going good,will refill tank approx. every 2 weeks. <br /> 15.Water Rights:The response was adequate. <br /> 16. Hydrologic Impacts: Drainage controls will consist of dirt 2-3 ft high berms along the northern <br /> and eastern boundary and roads, drainage ditches, culverts, silt fences and a 4-inch riprap <br /> sediment/catchment pond, if needed, rock will be removed prior to reclamation. Area will be <br /> monitored and maintained. <br /> 17. Noxious weed plan:The response was adequate. <br /> 18. Reclamation Performance Standards: <br /> a. i.According to NRCS there will be 10-20 inches of overburden. <br /> ii. The response was adequate. <br /> iii.The response was adequate. <br /> b. i. NRCS stated grasses 234.48 Ibs total, 19.22 Ibs/ac,80 sq ft <br /> ii.The response was adequate. <br /> iii. The response was adequate. <br /> c.The response was adequate. <br /> 19. Revise Reclamation Plan Exhibit D Map and land owners Exhibit E Map Combination of topsoil <br /> and overburden will be 6 inches. <br /> 20. Stream Diversion Reclamation:The response was adequate. <br /> 21.Access Road: The response was adequate. <br /> 22. Reclamation Costs: <br /> a. What we mean by mining towards reclamation is that we do not plan on creating a hole to mine, <br /> we will be taking down the slopes and pushing materials to process, so when it comes time to <br /> reclaim the slopes will be close to required 3-1 and 2-1 slopes.According to NRCS there will be <br /> plenty of reclamation materials to put back 6 inches of materials. <br /> b. The volume of 6 inches of combination of topsoil and overburden will be 8010 cubic yards. <br /> 23. Exhibit Map Requirements: The response was adequate. <br />
