Any salvaged topsoil will be used to surface the <br />stormwater berms. Any excess topsoil will be taken to the temporary topsoil <br />stockpile in the gravel area. Any topsoil deficiencies for the sandstone <br />stormwater berm will be taken from the same latter source. <br />10. Your plan includes a sediment pond at the Sandstone Quarry. Please show this <br />pond on your Mining Plan Map and provide the same information as requested in <br />item 4 above. Provide drawings to show how your sediment pond will discharge <br />through a check dam or straw bales. <br />The sediment pond at the sandstone quarry is now shown on the Mining Base <br />Map. The answer to 4 is the same as here. <br />1 ] . In your section 1.4, paragraph 2, you make the statement that, "For future <br />reclamation by the operator, landowner, or another party, an appropriate amount <br />of topsoil will be left in a noticeable, shaped, and seeded stockpile within 50 feet <br />of mineral stockpiles remaining after final reclamation." There should be no <br />mineral stockpiles remaining after reclamation and there should definitely be not <br />topsoil stockpiles remaining after reclamation. All mineral stockpiles should be <br />removed from the permit azea or used in reclamation. All available topsoil should <br />be used in reclamation. Please explain your statement. <br />There is no explanation. The statement was in error. All topsoil will be used <br />in reclamation and there will be no topsoil stockpile remaining after <br />reclamation. <br />12. Your next sentence, same paragraph, says that "oversized aggregate not sold, <br />crushed or used elsewhere on the project will be utilized as erosion protection <br />materials." Please explain this statement. Where and how do you propose to use <br />it? What is the approximate size of the oversized aggregate? Unless the material <br />is needed to return the site to pasture land, it is probably best if it is buried in a _ <br />backfill prior to final reclamation. <br />This is another incorrect statement. Oversized material as rip rap will be <br />used to stabilize the crossing sides and approach ways but will be used as a <br />product, loaded and removed from the project and sold. <br />13. Your next sentence, same paragraph states, "Fines will be incorporated into fills <br />or will be utilized as plant growth media." Fines alone, unless it is absolutely the <br />only material available, should not be used as plant growth media. Crusher fines, <br />6 <br />
