~~ <br />You can leave these units on the maps if you want to declare that they are also part of the <br />mining plan and you address these areas appropriately in all other necessary exhibits. <br />Not all of [he land within the permit boundary will be affected land. Refer to the definition <br />of affected land and delineate affected land boundaries that can be marked in the field in <br />accordance with Rule 3.1.12. To accomplish this you may want to enlarge you map scale to <br />effectively show the dimensions of land affected by roads, railroads, etc. <br />A map in this exhibit titled "Soil Salvage Units" shows a salvage unit E which is nearly <br />entirely outside of areas you have shown to be affected by other mining operations. If you <br />intend to salvage soil from this unit, you must include it in the affected land's boundary and <br />include the treatment of this area in all other appropriate exhibits. The same holds for <br />portions of salvage unit D. Please explain the salvage unit boundaries. <br />EXHIBIT D - Mining Plan <br />Your introduction states that "disturbed sites will be graded to be free-draining to small <br />sediment ponds which will discharge via infiltration and through check dams." The <br />Division assumes that these ponds and check dams are separate surface water/erosion control <br />structures from those described in your section 1.6. Please show the location of these ponds <br />on the Mining Plan Map. Provide plans and specifications for the construction of the ponds, <br />and provide their capacities. <br />Your section l.l. states that berms and ditches will be used to protect Tallahassee Creek <br />from uncontrolled runoff from mining operations. Will the berms and ditches divert water <br />down gradient to an outlet location? If so what will they outlet to? Provide plans and <br />specifications for these berms and ditches and show their location on a Mining Plan Map of <br />sufficient scale to delineate them. <br />3. Your section titled "Granite Quarry" states that a combination rail and haul road crossing of <br />Tallahassee Creek will be constructed to the Granite Quarry. Provide plans and <br />specifications for this crossing including the size and number of the culvert or pipes to be <br />installed and plans for installing rip-rap. Provide information showing the watershed area <br />and calculate peak flow of the 100-year storm event. Also provide a discussion of how the <br />installation can be accomplished to minimize impact on brown trout passage and spawning. <br />You should consult with the Division of Wildlife. <br />Your plan includes small sediment ponds to control erosion. Please provide plans and <br />specifications for their installation. Be sure to include information on the size of the <br />structures and their capacities. Wi11 these structures be removed upon reclamation? <br />Will the granite Granite Quarry haul roads to and from the upper benches be within the <br />affected land boundary? Show the location of these roads on the Mining Plan Map. <br />6. Will the rock processing equipment at the Granite Ouatry be portable or will it be mounted <br />on foundations or footings? If any concrete structures over a few cubic yards will be <br />
