Figure 3, Exhibit C1, has been updated to reflect the location of all fences within <br /> the Affected Area and the 200-foot buffer. Table 1, and other references to this <br /> Figure have been updated as well. <br /> 6.4.4 EXHIBIT D - Mining Plan <br /> 4) Section 5.2.1.1 states berms will received temporary seed mix. However they will <br /> not be redisturbed after revegetation during phase 1. Provide a justification as to <br /> why these areas are only temporarily reclaimed rather than final reclamation. <br /> The document has been revised to remove references to the use of a temporary <br /> seed mix. <br /> 5) Mine Plan maps depict greenbelt (wetland) topsoil being applied by phase <br /> (contemporaneous reclamation). However Section 5.2.3.1 does not expressly <br /> state when topsoil will be applied by, mining phase (30%, 60%, 100%), or at Phase <br /> 4. It states "planted with wetlands reclamation species after mining activity is <br /> complete." Please clarify within the Mining Plan how soon after mining concludes <br /> in an areas will reclamation proceed. <br /> Table 2 has been revised to reflect the timing of the topsoil application and <br /> wetland revegetation. These reclamation activities will be completed as soon as <br /> practicable, and anticipated within the estimated 30%, 60%, and 100% mining <br /> reclamation timeframes. Section 5.2.3.1 narrative has been revised to clarify <br /> that the greenbelt reclamation will proceed in concert with mining activity, <br /> subject to operational requirements and seasonal constraints. It should be noted <br /> that the existing topography is variable between the distance of the toe of the <br /> 3:1 to 5:1 transition slope across the site, hence creating an estimated 3.57 <br /> acres that will need to be reclaimed throughout Phase 3 and potentially during <br /> Phase 4 (noted as the Berm Area or Berm to Greenbelt Area on Figure 14, Exhibit <br /> E1). <br /> 6) Table 2 is hard to follow. Tasks are included within Phase 4 but noted as no cost <br /> because they are completed in a previous phase. Please revise table 2, only work <br /> to be completed in each phase should be referenced within that phase. <br /> Table 2 has been revised to address this comment. <br /> 6.4.5 EXHIBIT E - Reclamation Plan <br />
