Incompleteness Notice, <br /> Saffer Pit M2022037 <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br /> b. if groundwater will be encountered and/or surface water intercepted or disturbed,describe how <br /> mining will affect the quantity and quality of the surface or groundwater and the methods to be <br /> used to minimize disturbance to the surface and groundwater systems including proposed <br /> dewatering, sediment-storm water run-off controls,(ditches,or other conveyance structures). <br /> DRMS 5 Oct 2022 <br /> The above items were not addressed in Exhibit C: Mining Plan. Please address the hydrologic questions <br /> as per the above rule by describing the dimensions of the berm—height,width and distance from stream <br /> as it appears that stormflow could impact the berm at the southeast end. <br /> EXHIBIT D—Reclamation Plan(Rule 6.3.4): <br /> 3. All 110 applications must provide an estimate of the actual costs to reclaim the site based on what it would cost <br /> the State of Colorado using an independent contractor to complete reclamation. (Such estimates are not required <br /> for activities contemplated by the operator and approved by the Office to be outside the scope of the proposed <br /> reclamation plan.) The unit costs should include estimates for the following activities as appropriate to the <br /> operation: <br /> a. backfilling, <br /> b. grading, <br /> c. topsoil application, <br /> d. seeding, <br /> e. mulching, <br /> f. fertilization, <br /> g. and labor to complete reclamation. <br /> Costs for finish grading,subsoil and topsoil application must be provided in terms of cost per cubic yard. The <br /> estimated cost for fertilizer,seed and mulch acquisition and application must be provided as cost per acre. <br /> a. The cost to mobilize and demobilize the equipment from the nearest population center known to <br /> have the required equipment availability should be estimated. <br /> b. All items referenced in the Reclamation Plan must be included in the cost calculation. These items <br /> in addition to earthwork,such as building demolition,fencing,monitoring well sealing or stream <br /> channel reconstruction must also be included in the reclamation cost estimate. <br /> c. After the direct costs noted above have been estimated,the Office may add up to an additional <br /> maximum eighteen and one-half percent(18.5%)of that total,which includes private contract, <br /> typical overhead costs. This additional cost is required to cover indirect costs that an independent <br /> contractor would incur when performing reclamation of the site. Five percent(5%)additional cost <br /> shall be added to cover Office administration cost in the event of bond forfeiture and permit <br /> revocation. <br /> DRMS 5 Oct 2022 <br /> The above items were not addressed in Exhibit D: Reclamation Plan. Please provide cost estimates as <br /> outlined above. <br /> EXHIBIT E—Mining Plan Map(s)of Affected Lands(Rule 6.3.5): <br /> 4. The Applicant provided several maps that were not clearly labelled—Mining Plan Map. Please provide an <br /> Exhibit E pursuant to Rule 6.3.5 to legibly portray the following information: <br /> a. all adjoining surface owners of record; <br />
