EXHIBIT B (Rule 6.3.2 (2)): The Division is aware that the County has stated that there are no permanem man-made structures within 200 fezt of the area to be affected by the proposed operation. Fences, however, are often overlookzd in such assessments: although they are considered to be such structures. Moreover, there apparently are different land owners to the south and east of the Castillo property. Please confirm that there are no existing fences along the boundaries of the Castillo property to the south and east. if there are such fences. please provide a revised Exhibit E Map with any fences indicated and thz owner(s) identified. EXHIBIT C (Rule 6.3.3 (b)): The County has stated that approximately 6 inchzs of ropsoil suitable for plant growth is available but has not clearly committed, in the Exhibit narrative, to salvage that much for reclamation purposes. Please confirm the Counry's ~mtention to salvage 6 ~mches of topsoil for reclamation use. EXHIBIT C (Rule 6.3.3 (k)): The County has indicated that no refuse oracid-forming or toxic materials will be involved. Hopefully, this will prove to be true, however, the response required is how such will be handled and disposed of if exposed. Please satisfy the requirements of the Rule. EXHIBIT E-MAPS (Rule 6.3.5 (2) (a)): The map labeled as the Exhibit E Mining Plan Map contains a survey of the Castillo propeny which includes the bulk of the proposed permit area. On this map, there is a sketch of the outline of the proposed pit. This sketch is not accurate as evidenced by maps of the permit area included in Exhibit A and as the Exhibit E Reclamation Plan Ivtap. As a result, it is not made clear that the proposed permit area extends beyond the surveyed area to the north and also lies within 200 feet of surface property, to the east and south, owned by other than the Castillos. Please provide a revised Exhibit E Mining Plan Map with the proposed permit area properly locatzd and labeled. (The Division has included a copy of its attempt to approximate the position of the permit area on the map as a guide [o what is zxpected in the requested cortected version.) EXHIBIT E-MAPS (Rule 6.35 ('_) (z)): In the event that there are significant. valuable, and permanent man-made structures, such as fences, within 200 feet of the proposed permit affected area, they are not represented on the Mining Plan Map at this time. If there actually are significant, valuable, and permanent man-made structures within 200 fzet of the proposed permit/affected area, these should be indicated on the revised Mining Plan Map. EXHIBIT E-MAPS (Rule 6.3.5 (3) (ap: The Reclamation Plan Map indicates that there will be 4:1 slopes for the reclaimed west margins of the pit but nothing is specified for [he north, south and east margins. As a result, the post mine topography is uncertain. Please provide a revised Reclamation Plan Map that shows the gradient of all reclaimed slopes For the pit sufficient to describe the post mine topography. EXHIBIT H (Rule 6.3.8) The County has staled that there is no municipality within 2 miles of the proposed mining operation. The community of Valdez is within that distance. Please indicate if the community of Valdez is incorporated or not. IF it is, please.provide a revised Exhibit H that indicates i[s proximity to the proposed mining operation. EXHIBIT L (Rule 6.3.12): The County has stated that there are no man-made structures within 200 feet of the land to be affected by the proposed operation. The Division has requested contirrtiation of this in its discussions of Exhibit A and Exhibit E Maps. 1(there are structures. z. g. propeny line fences. within 200 feet of the land to be affected by the proposed operation, the County should supply a revised Exhibit L that indicates this. The revised exhibit should also includz zithzr a notarized agreement with the owner of the structure to provide compensation for any damage brought about by the mining operation or an appropriate zngineering evaluation that demonstrates that such structure shall not be damaged by activinzs occurting at the mining operation.
