<br />6. Please provide the Division with a copy of the zoning permit with <br />stipulations as soon as it is available. <br />7. During the life of the project, the operator must have sufficient <br />overburden stockpiled to complete the required backfilling, in <br />order to create 3.1 slopes around the perimeter of the pond as <br />outlined on Map 3. <br />8. During mining, what will be the maximum length of shoreline that <br />will require backfilling above which reclamation activities will <br />commence? How many cubic yards of overburden will be necessary in <br />order to complete the required backfilling of this length of <br />shoreline to a 3.1 slope? <br />B. Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan <br />1. The operator has indicated that dikes will be created as part of <br />the reclamation. Please provide across section of the dike and <br />describe the location of the dike. The operator should discuss the <br />design of the dike with the state engineers office. <br />2. If this is to be a wet mining operation, please describe how the <br />operator will backfill to create 3.1 slopes, 5 feet above to 10 <br />feet below the expected water line. <br />3. The staff recommends that in addition to the 3.1 maximum slopes <br />around the perimeter, the operator provide some shoreline areas <br />with slopes of 5.1 or less for emergent aquatic vegetation. <br />4. What portion of the SCS information does the operator not intend to <br />follow as a commitment for final reclamation? <br />5. Please list the species of trees and shrubs that the operator <br />wishes to plant and provide a description of numbers to be used, <br />size and general placement. <br />C. Exhibit G -Water Information <br />1. As it appears that this is going to be a dewatering operation, <br />please describe the location of the water holding ponds referred to <br />and describe the size and depth necessary to hold all waters <br />generated from the dewatering operation. <br />2. Since at least a portion of the mining will involve dewatering, <br />please assess how this activity will affect wells in the vicinity <br />of the operation and describe what, if any, monitoring wells are <br />going to be constructed. Please be as specific as possrible. <br />3. The Division of Water Resources is currently reviewing this <br />application, a copy of their review will be sent as soon as it is <br />available. <br />
