Parkway alignments? If not, please describe the disturbed areas not proposed to be <br /> revegetated for reclamation, and provide an explanation for this proposal. <br /> Discrepancies are now rectified in the permit narrative. Please note that post-mining access <br /> roads may remain at the property owner's discretion providing differing acreage between <br /> affected area and seeded reclamation acreage. <br /> Exhibit F— Reclamation Plan Map (Rule 6.4.6): <br /> 47. This exhibit includes two maps depicting two different reclamation scenarios, one of <br /> which includes leaving two dry revegetated pits (Figure F-1), and the other of which <br /> includes leaving two reservoirs (Figure F-2). The applicant must commit to one <br /> reclamation plan in this application. Therefore, please commit to one of these <br /> reclamation plans (in Exhibit E) and remove the appropriate figure from this exhibit to <br /> reduce any confusion it may cause. Any future changes to the reclamation plan can be <br /> proposed through the appropriate permit revision. <br /> All reference and consideration of a reservoir reclamation alternative is no longer being pursued <br /> through this application process. If a reservoir alternative is ultimately chosen, the current <br /> Division permit revision process will be utilized to permit such change. <br /> 48. Because the reclamation plan in Exhibit E provides more information on the no reservoir <br /> plan, the Division's adequacy items are focused more on this plan. However, if the <br /> applicant commits to the reservoir plan, the Division will have additional questions <br /> regarding that proposal. The Division has the following comments on Figure F-1: <br /> a. Please clarify which of the three seed mixtures presented in Exhibit E will be <br /> planted in areas designated as "Dry Rangeland Reclamation"and in areas <br /> designated as "Tree Tubeling Reclamation". For example, will the Table 3.3 <br /> grass mixture be planted in all areas or just in areas designated as "Dry <br /> Rangeland Reclamation"?Also, will the Table 3.1 shrub mixture be planted in all <br /> areas, or just in areas designated as "Tree Tubeling Reclamation"? <br /> b. Please clarify whether Dry Rangeland Reclamation will occur on pit floors, the <br /> tops of the waste rock landforms, and the side slopes of the realigned segment of <br /> Central City Parkway, totaling 188.6 acres. <br /> c. Please clarify whether Tree Tubeling Reclamation will occur on all quarry <br /> highwalls and on all side slopes of the waste rock landforms, totaling 134.2 <br /> acres. <br /> d. Please explain why the east and west facing highwalls that rise above the <br /> southern portion of the realigned Central City Parkway(in the access corridor) <br /> are shown to receive "Dry Rangeland Reclamation"rather than "Tree Tubeling <br /> Reclamation"as proposed for other quarry highwalls. <br /> e. Please show the location of any structures (e.g., roads, highwall ramps, <br /> stormwater structures, wildlife mitigation structures) proposed to remain for <br /> reclamation. <br /> Please see the revised Exhibit E and bulleted response below. <br /> a. Dry rangeland seed, Table 5, will be used on flat areas and south and west facing <br /> slopes. While both shrubs, Table 3, and tree tubelings, Table 4, will be used on north <br /> and east facing slopes. <br /> December 2021 16 0 Lcwicki 81 Associates <br />
