<br />-g- <br /> <br />2.05.4(2)(b) 6. Justification as to why the mine plan would be <br />(cont.) changed to leaving the pond rather than continuing on with <br />the planned mining. <br />7. Justification for modifying the AOC for final <br />reclamation. <br />8. Blasting costs for reducing highwalls (preferably form <br />contractors certified in this capacity). <br />9. Demonstrations/predictions of infiltration <br />rates/recharge rates. <br />10. Designs for the pond in accordance with SCS <br />guidelines. <br />Since this information is not available at this time, a <br />bond estimate that would entail filling of this maximum <br />disturbance pit with overburden is required. <br />The vegetation costs, using the specifications set in the <br />old permit, were in excess of $1,600.00 an acre. This <br />included mulching at 2 ton per acre, netting on steep <br />slopes, drilling, seeding, fertilizing, discing and <br />harrowing. Your estimated cost pre acre is $72.50. This <br />large discrepancy needs to be addressed. <br />2.05.4(2)(e)(ii) Page 5-28(2)(e)(ii) and (iii) makes reference to <br />deciding how many woody plants will be replaced. This <br />should be updated to describe how many actually will be <br />replaced. 1,000 live stems/acre is the normal minimum <br />standard. The operator will need to describe in detail <br />how many shrub clumps or islands will be planted, how they <br />will be planted, where they will be planted, etc. <br />
