Mr. Thomas Wainwright -3- December 8, 1982 mule 2 04 9(1)(a) - Soils Resource Information Many of the soil sampling sites were located off the proposed permit area and some within the permit area were not located within the area to be affected by surface mining operations. Site-specific information must be collected in order to determine the depths to which various soil types should be salvaged. The applicant must collect additional depth verification data from a number oP locations within each soil type to be disturbed by surface mining operations. The number of depth verification holes per soil type will be determined in conSunction with the Division. Rule 2.05.3[2)(a) - Roads With the exception of a brief description of the "access road" into the mine site, no information was provided on access roads or light-use roads to be constructed within the permit area. It appears, from Exhibit 12-1. that some roads other than haul roads will be constructed. A narrative and~maps describing the location, construction, use, maintenance, and removal of all access and/or light-use roads must be submitted. Rule 2.05.3(3)(b) - Roads The applicant did not include any description of the existing "access road" into the mine site. Also, the designation as an access road is apparently inappropriate, since the mine plan indicates that this road will be used for the transportation of coal from the mine site. According to the definitions in Rule 1.06, this would be designated as a haul road. A narrative must be submitted demonstrating compliance with the requirements of Rule 4.03 which apply to haul road construction. Aule 2.05.3(3)(c)(i) - Road The applicant has supplied no information on road drainage ditch sizing. Ditch sizing information must be submitted along with supporting calculations. Rule 2.05.3(5) - ToDeoll The applicant's discussion of topsoil salvage and replacement lacks sufficient detail. A discussion of yearly material balances moat be submitted. This must include: how many acres of each soil type will be disturbed; how much topsoil will be salvaged from each soil type; how much topsoil will be stockpiled and !n which topsoil stockpile; how much topsoil will be replaced directly and on what area; and how much topsoil will be removed from stockpiles and replaced on the regraded area.
