<br />what areas were sampled, traversed, etc.) it is difficult to assess the <br />degree of site-specificity of the survey (Rule 2.04.11 [3J[bJ). Figure <br />4.6-1 is provided but the text contains no reference to the Figure so it <br />is unclear what aspect of the study these study areas represent. Please <br />clarify this problem by providing maps showing the spatial converage of <br />each aspect of the survey (i. e., pellet group counts, winter track counts, <br />bird counts, etc.) <br />2.05.3 Operation Plan Permit Area <br />1. Because the subgrade summary test given on page 2-21 is identical to <br />that given for the McClane Canyon haul road subgrades, there is a concern <br />whether this information is site specific. Please identify the source(s) <br />of sample(s) used in this test. Is this data provided to comply with <br />Rule 4.03.1(3)(vii)? <br />2. The applicant refers to Figure 2.2-1 to show the general area of road <br />disturbance. The topographic map, over which the affected lands are out- <br />lined, is essentially illegible. The applicant must submit a better copy <br />of this Figure. More legible copies of Figures 2.2-9 and 2.2-IO are <br />required for the same reason. <br />3. All design and construction drawings for the roads in the permit area <br />must be certified by a registered professional engineer. This requirement <br />also must be met for aI1 maps and plans specified in 2.10. <br />4.. On page 2-23 the applicant states that "slopes in unconsolidated material <br />(will beJ constructed at 1v:1H." To comply with 9.03.1(3)(c)(1) slopes <br />'~~ in unconsolidated material should never be less than lv:l.Sh. The applicant <br />should revise this statement of intent such that compliance with the above <br />referenced section is indicated, or provide geotechnical analyses and results <br />to show that the required minimum factor of safety is achievable when using <br />the alternative design proposed. <br />v5: The Division requires that aZ1 calculations and assumptions involved <br />2n culvert sizing for all culverts in the permit area be supplied. These <br />calculations should demonstrate that the culverts are designed to pass the <br />10 year-24 hour event. Information required includes contributing drainage <br />areas, slopes of the installed culverts, culvert diameters, runoff, etc. <br />These data must indicate compliance of the installations with 4.03.1(4)(vi). <br />6. The culvert spacing indicated by Figure 2.2-8 through 2.2-11 are <br />,inadequate. Culverts should be spaced according to the specifications given <br />in 9. 03.1(4)(vi)(AJ unless the applicant can demonstrate the feasibility of <br />alternate specifications as described in 9. 03.1 (4J(vi.). <br />2.05.3(4) Ponds, Impoundents and Diversions <br />1. Page No. 2-95 of the application states that the sediment pond shown <br />on Figure 2.2-6 is designed to store a volume of 8,000 cubic feet. The <br />design specifications as mapped on Figure 2.2.5 are not adequate. All <br />ponds to be constructed must have a design drawing similar to Figure 2.2-3 <br />for the mine site sedimentation reservoir, and appropriate watershed infor- <br />mation used to estimate the design storm volume of the ponds should be <br />available for review, including the calculations used to estimate the <br />sized volume required of the structures. <br />(G) <br />
