As such, the rate <br /> of extraction and subsequent reclamation will slow or quicken according to <br /> influences of the markets, weather, and internal logistics_ Flexibihn-in <br /> Operations encourages better outcomes when adapting to changing <br /> circumstance or unexpected field conditions, and may involve actively <br /> working different fields or different parts of the same field as necessan'_ <br /> Generally, flexibility aids integrity of operations and encourages optimizing <br /> operational activity and subsequent reclamation of affected lands- Therefore, <br /> any method that accelerates the extraction timeline will be utilized, and <br /> should be encouraged to better engage the unpredictable elements and <br /> variables that reasonably affect the capacities of the Operator. <br /> Exhibit C-2: Extraction Plan Nlap, shows the location and planned extTacnon <br /> limits, general direction of extraction, and related features described above; <br /> along with features made obvious in the included aerial image of the permit <br /> location and surrounding lands_ <br /> :additional information is prodded under Exhibit C-1: Existing Conditions Map; <br /> which shows all kriowwn current and active significant man-made structures <br /> located on or within 200 feet of the permit boundan.detailed under including <br /> creeks,roads, buildings, oil and gas facilities [such as tanks,batteries, wells and <br /> lines], and power and communication lines and support structures, easements <br /> and rights-of-way; located over the permitted lands or within 200 feet of the <br /> same.

On <br /> page 15, the response states that "four separate extraction teams"could be used to <br /> hasten the extraction schedule. However, the ERO memorandum (August 26, 2022. <br /> page 2) describes an incremental approach that will protect mule deer habitat by <br /> only, disturbing a relatively small area atone time. The text in the memo suggests <br /> that a maximum size for an active cell is 16 acres. This example illustrates the <br /> need to better define the mining and reclamation plans. <br /> Raptor Materials Second Adequacy Response <br /> The First Adequacy response has been incorporated into the revised Exhibit D <br /> (06, Footnote 4).
