Mr. Bill Tezak <br /> Apri18,2022 <br /> Page 6 of 11 <br /> made to the office and which were constructed for purposes unrelated to the proposed mining operation and which <br /> will not be substantially upgraded to support the mining operation. Describe any associated drainage and runoff <br /> conveyance structures to include sufficient information to evaluate structure sizing. <br /> This information was provided in adequacy,and should be included in the response to this letter. <br /> Additional discussion for weed control plan for the site will be required. Stating that"...Presence of noxious <br /> weeds will continue to be monitored on all disturbed areas and addressed in a timely manner"is insufficient. <br /> What species are likely to be of concern at this site? How will they be addressed? Chemical spray (with what, <br /> by who and when),mowing,etc.? If there is a currently approved weed plan in place for the site, as implied in <br /> Exhibit E,please include it. <br /> EXHIBIT E- Reclamation Plan(Rule 6.4.5): <br /> (1)In preparing the Reclamation Plan,you should be specific in terms of addressing such items as final grading <br /> (including drainage), seeding,fertilizing,revegetation(trees, shrubs, etc.),and topsoiling. You are encouraged to <br /> allow flexibility in your plans by committing to ranges of numbers(e.g.,6"-12" of topsoil)rather than specific <br /> figures. <br /> (2)The Reclamation Plan shall include provisions for, or satisfactory explanation of, all general requirements for <br /> the type of reclamation proposed to be implemented by you. Reclamation shall be required on all the affected <br /> land. The Reclamation Plans shall include: <br /> (a)A description of the type(s)of reclamation you propose to achieve in the reclamation of the affected <br /> land,why each was chosen,the amount of acreage accorded to each. and a general discussion of methods <br /> of reclamation as related to the mechanics of earthmoving; <br /> Acreages should be provided for(at a minimum): un-reclaimed areas such as roads to remain after <br /> reclamation,regraded and revegetated areas including benches,pit floor,and reclaimed topsoil and <br /> overburden stockpile locations. Some of this information was provided previously,but may need to be <br /> updated. <br /> (b)A comparison of the proposed post-mining land use to other land uses in the vicinity and to adopted <br /> state and local land use plans and programs. In those instances where the post-mining land use is for <br /> industrial,residential,or commercial purposes and such use is not reasonably assured, a plan for <br /> revegetation shall be submitted. Appropriate evidence supporting such reasonable assurance shall be <br /> submitted; <br /> (c)A description of how the Reclamation Plan will be implemented to meet each applicable requirement <br /> of Section 3.1; <br /> (d)Where applicable,plans for topsoil segregation,preservation,and replacement; for stabilization, <br /> compaction,and grading of spoil; and for revegetation. The revegetation plan shall contain a list of the <br /> preferred species of grass, legumes, fortis, shrubs or trees to be planted,the method and rates of seeding <br /> and planting,the estimated availability of viable seeds in sufficient quantities of the species proposed to <br /> be used,and the proposed time of seeding and planting; <br />
