Cont,ibuton CMLRB 112 Petntlt Appllcatlon Agile Stone Syetema, Inc. The map scale has been enlarged and improved. The area was flown aerially with suitably located surveyed control points. See maps in Exhibit C. Also, an additional boundary line was added to the Mining Base Map to identify atTected vs unaffected lands. Affected acreage is thoroughly discussed in Exhibits D and L. 8. A map in this exhibit titled "Soil Salvage Units" shows a salvage unit E which is nearly entirely outside of areas you have shown to be affected by other mining operations. If you intend to salvage soil from this unit, you must include it in the affected land's boundary and include the treatment of this area in all other appropriate exhibits. The same holds for portions of salvage unit D. Please explain the salvage unit boundaries. Unit E is only outside the mining operations if Phase II and III are not considered. Since we have clarified the inclusion of Phases II and III above, unit E is clearly within affected mining operations. It is clearly shown within the afTected land's boundary on the Mining Base Map and is included in discussion in all exhibits. The salvage unit boundaries were identified from field work conducted by Cedar Creek Associates and Azurite. The boundaries do not represent where soil will be taken rather they represent the boundaries of each distinct soil unit type. The Mining Base Map clearly shows the boundaries of where affected land topsoil will be salvaged. EXHIBIT D -Mining Plan 1. Your introduction states that "disturbed sites will be graded to be free-draining to small sediment ponds which will discharge via infiltration and through check dams." The Division assumes that these ponds and check dams are separate surface water/erosion control structures from those described in your section 1.6. Please show the location of these ponds on the Mining Plan Map. Provide plans and specifications for the construction of the ponds, and provide their capacities. There are no small sediment ponds and check dams. The gravel bar affected lands will be graded to utilize the lower elevation gravel pits should they be necessary for any storm events. While suitable grading, ditches and swales have been included in all ezhibit discussions and engineered drawings, percolation tests as well as surface observation of the site demonstrate that percolation vastly exceeds any known or ezpected storm event. All structures including stormwater berms and ponds as well as any other related structure are shown on the engineering diagrams provided and discussed in all appropriate exhibits. 3
