<br /> <br />60. Please refer to the comments under Rul2 2.05.6(2) Fish and Wildlife Plan. <br />Rule 2.04.12 Prime Farmland Investieation <br />61. According to the soil survey submitted by LCC and consultation with Important Farmland <br />Inventory of Colorado Soil conservation Service, October 1982, there are no soils <br />identified within the permit azea that aze considered prime farmland. <br />Rule 2.04.13 Annual Reclamation Resort <br />62. The wording under this heading does not make sense. Please correct it and include text <br />which commits to providing the information required by (a)-(f) including a map according <br />to the standards of Rule 2.10. <br />Rule 2.05.2 Operation Plan-Estimated area for Life of Operation <br />63. Pursuant to Section 2.05.2(1) of the Board's Regulations, please provide a few words <br />about the proposed contour mining. These could be inserted in the paragraph on <br />application page 2.05-3 that starts "Life of mine operations will include...". <br />Rule 2.05.3(11 Production Methods and Equipment <br />64. This section of the application is in compliance with the Rules. <br />Rule 2.05.3(2) Operation Description <br />65. A discrepancy exists between the "extent of Surface Mine Disturbance" line shown on <br />Surface Mine Post-mining Topography Map 2.05.4-1 and the "Preliminary Extent of <br />Surface Mining" line shown on Figure 1 of Exhibit 13. Please correct this. <br />66. It appears from Figure 1 of Exhibit 13 that only 2 fills (1 and 4) would come close to the <br />lowermost extent of the surface mine. Map 2.05.4-1, however, show fills being <br />constructed to much higher elevations. Please address this discrepancy in fill construction <br />elevations. <br />67. It appears from Surface Mine Post-mining Topography Map 2.05.4-1 that the areas <br />between fills 1 and 4, 4 and 6, 3 and 5, 5 and 8, and 9, 7 and 8 will be affected by <br />mining (as shown by the blue "annual disturbance area" lines), and then reconstructed to <br />the post-mining topography shown on the map. While Exhibit l3 discusses the <br />geotechnical design criteria for the fills, the only information provided in the application <br />pertaining to the reclamation of the non-fill areas of the surface mine is found in tlvee <br />sentences on page 2.05-10 (the first of these being "After the contour cut..."), and on <br />page 2.05-40. <br />Section 2.05.3(6) of the Regulations requires the application to explain the removal, <br />
