6.4.11 EXHIBIT L -Reclamation Costs <br /> 28. Based on the response to Question 8, include as task for verifying below water slope <br /> grades. <br /> Scott will use GPS technology to verify the slopes. An additional task and associated costs <br /> have been added to each mining phase during Phase 3. <br /> 29. Based on application maps, one piezometer on the east side is within the affected lands <br /> boundary. Unless explicitly stated within the reclamation plan that all piezometers will <br /> be permanent features, a task needs to be included for its removal. <br /> The piezometer located on the east side will be removed during Phase 1 and not be reclaimed. <br /> 30.The total of Exhibit L,Table 7 is incorrect. The total cost should be $71,727.36 <br /> Table 7 has been updated to address the additional tasks identified in this Adequacy Review. <br /> 31. As mentioned within the Reclamation Plan Question 16, By stripping (topsoil and <br /> overburden)the entire site all at once, if mining is not completed these lands would <br /> require reclamation (revegetation). Include a task by mine phase to reclaim all affected <br /> lands which have been stripped but not yet mined.The Division will assume <br /> revegetation will be wetlands as this area is subject to seasonal groundwater fluctuation <br /> unless overburden is replaced to restore the site to original contours. <br /> The narrative has been revised to address the reclamation of the affected lands by phase. <br /> Specifically, Phase 1 and Phase 3 have been updated to address the reclamation as the project <br /> proceeds. <br /> 32. Provide the average (centroid to centroid) haul and grading push distances for <br /> overburden and topsoil placement to construct the berms during Phase 1. <br /> Section 5.2.1.1 has been revised to include this information. <br /> 33. Provide the average (centroid to centroid) haul and grading push distances for topsoil <br /> placement to construct the wetlands bench during Phase 4. <br /> The Mining Plan has been revised to have the former wetlands bench, now referred to as the <br /> greenbelt area, reclaimed during the Phase 3 mining stages. The average centroid to centroid <br /> haul distances will be from the topsoil pile at the Operations Pad, approximately 2,400 feet <br /> during the 30%mining condition and 1,600 feet during the 60%mining condition and 800 feet <br /> during the final mining conditions. The average centroid to centroid push distances will be <br /> along the greenbelt slope area, -3 feet to 6 feet. <br /> 34. What type of equipment will be used to haul overburden and topsoil for the berm <br /> construction and wetlands bench? <br />
