Provide enough information that it will be useful in determining <br />your reclamation bond requirement for various stages or phases of your mining <br />operation. <br />The above noted plan and Eahibit L identify the specific acreage impact by <br />area affected. <br />6. Provide your plan to stabilize the quarry highwalls. <br />The plan to stabilize the quarry highwalls includes a final slope of 0.25:1, <br />blocked entrances to each bench and intermittent rubble-ization of highwalls. <br />See Exhibits D, E and L for additional discussions. <br />Your section 1.2 of Exhibit E states that "occasionally, occurrences of overburden <br />will be removed from some of the gravel bar azeas to be mined." Please provide <br />more discussion of this statement. Is the material to be removed as product or as <br />salvage material for reclamation? If it is to be used for reclamation, provide more <br />details regarding storage and placement in reclamation backfill. <br />No overburden is involved in this project. Therefore, there is no discussion. <br />8. Your section 1.3 soil salvage states that at least 10 feet will be stripped ahead of <br />any area to be mined. It is assumed that this is in reference to the gravel mining <br />operation. What is the maximum buffer azea to be stripped ahead of mining <br />granite and limestone? <br />There is no limestone in the permit area. The maximum buffer area to be <br />stripped ahead of mining granite will depend upon the reclamation <br />calculations in Exhibit L. Eahibit L currently assumes the complete <br />stripping of each phase prior to mining. Phase I would have all phase I areas <br />stripped prior to mining. The second scenario in exhibit L assumed all of <br />Phase I and all of Phase II stripped. The and scenario assumed that at least <br />most of Phase I areas would be reclaimed prior to stripping Phase III areas. <br />If the Division recognizes the reduced or timed acreage in the bond <br />reclamation, then a different approach can be taken in stripping. <br />9. Section 1.3 of your reclamation plan states that soil screened from the gravel bar <br />aggregate will be saved for future use as topsoil in reclamation. It is assumed that <br />you are referring to fines which will be primarily sand and small size gravel. This <br />fraction of the pit run material will most likely be very low in nutrient value and <br />water holding capacity. Unless properly amended this material will probably not <br />15 <br />
