.. <br />constructed for the processing equipment, please provide information regarding dimensions <br />and whether or not the concrete will be reinforced. <br />Provide the dimensions of all roads to be constructed or improved from existing roads. <br />8. You have stated that the Sandstone Quarry was mined pre-law. Provide the dimensions of <br />the pre-law quarry as compared to the planned dimensions of proposed quarry. Show this <br />information on a map with drawings made to scale. Will all of the pre-law quarry be <br />redisturbed? <br />9. Your plan says that some topsoil may be available for salvage from the Sandstone Quarry <br />processing area. Please be more specific and describe the amount of topsoil available for <br />salvage from this azea and describe how much topsoil will be salvaged. <br />10. Your plan includes a sediment pond at the Sandstone Quarry. Please show this pond on your <br />Mining Plan Map and provide the same information as requested in item 4 above. Provide <br />drawings to show how your sediment pond will discharge through a check dam or straw <br />bales. <br />11. In your section 1.4, paragraph 2, you make the statement that, "For future reclamation by the <br />operator, landowner, or another party, an appropriate amount of topsoil will be left in a <br />noticeable, shaped, and seeded stockpile within 50 feet of mineral stockpiles remaining after <br />final reclamation." There should be no mineral stockpiles remaining after reclamation and <br />there should definitely be not topsoil stockpiles remaining after reclamation. All mineral <br />stockpiles should be removed from the permit area or used in reclamation. All available <br />topsoil should be used in reclamation. Please explain your statement. <br />12. Your next sentence, same paragraph, says that "oversized aggregate not sold, crushed or <br />used elsewhere on the project will be utilized as erosion protection materials." Please <br />explain this statement. Where and how do you propose to use it? What is the approximate <br />size of the oversized aggregate? Unless the material is needed to return the site to pasture <br />land, it is probably best if it is buried in a backfill prior to final reclamation. <br />l3. Your next sentence, same paragraph states, "Fines will be incorporated into fills or will be <br />utilized as plant growth media." Fines alone, unless it is absolutely the only material <br />available, should not be used as plant growth media. Crusher fines, especially granitic rock, <br />are generally highly erosive and lack nutrients. Please describe how you will be able to use <br />fines successfully as a plant growth medium. These materials can usually only be used <br />successfully if they are placed on a relatively level surface and are highly amended with <br />organic matter. If this material is used in fills, where will it be used? <br />l4. For all non portable buildings, provide information regarding the type of material they will <br />be constructed of, the size of the building and the dimensions and materials used for <br />footings, Floors and foundations, including whether or not rebar will be used. This <br />information is needed for bond calculation purposes. Provide this information for the scale, <br />and scale house also. <br />
