Fremont County/M-94-092 11/28/94 page 2 ~ Will concurrent reclamation occur on inactive portions of the pit as mining phases progress toward the northwest corner? EXHIBIT D - RECLAMATION PLAN The post-mining slopes of 3:1 are adequate. However there is language in the BLM agreement referring~to possible need for benching and maximum slopes of 2:1 on the south side, due to geology. Please clarify in your plan if these slopes are to occur, their location, bench configuration, etc. o Related to the BLM mention of limitations due to geology, will u there be blasting onsite? What type of material base will the 6 inches of topsoil be placed over? Both the SCS plan and BLM agreement mention the need for ~1~ possible borrowing of topsoil material from adjacent areas to help provide for adequate growth medium for reclamation. Please be reminded that disturbing areas outside of the permit boundary, even if the disturbance is reclamation-related, is a possible violation of the Rules and Act. Please clarify the above-referenced language. EXHIBIT E - MAPS ~c'W The mine plan map does not show the surface contours, which would ~ ~,, be helpful for examining the drainage patterns or how the site is situated. Is the site level, on a hilltop, hillside or lowland? The reclamation plan map also does not include surface contours. The "sunflower" pattern depicted is interpreted by me (possibly incorrectly) to show a pit floor surrounded by sideslopes. Based on the proposed maximum slope of 3:1, and distances shown between U1~ Perimeter and pit floor, the pit appears that it could reach depths of 45 to 80 feet. Please submit a simple diagram or map (even 1 inch = 200 feet would work in this case) which clearly shows the location and angle of proposed slopes, pit floor, and drainage pattern if necessary. If phased reclamation is to occur, please show that on a map or describe it in a narrative. EXHIBIT F - OTHER PERMITS AND LICENSES Adequate. EXHIBIT G - SOURCE OF LEGAL RIGHT TO ENTER Adequate. EXHIBIT H - MUNICIPALITIES WITH TWO MILES Adequate.
