Please describe the size and other construction specifications for the sediment control structure(s). The one on the waste slope is described as if it will exist throughout the mining phase, whereas the one [o be located in Quarry Town might not be constructed until the reclamation phase. Is this correct? When the well permit is successfully "transferred" to you, please provide such documentation showing State approval for the exposing and use of groundwater. Likewise, please provide the appropriate documentation showing State approval for discharging water at the location(s) you have chosen, and water quality data for any sampling you have done. Please briefly describe how debris from timber, which must be cut to expand the southern waste area (and possibly the eastern area too), will be handled or disposed of [f not adequately handled, it could become a reclamation cost liability. As the southern waste area is developed, into previously unaffected areas, please describe the topsoil salvage and protection methods to be employed. (It appears quite possible that all topsoil needs could be met through this available soil resource.) Any safety fencing to be installed during mining will probably not be of the type, nor in the same location, as ornamental fencing to be installed after minting. Please provide a brief description of the type, amount, and location of any such safety fencing, since its removal should be identified as a reclamation liability. Exhibit D -Reclamation Plan You stated that the access portal constructed by CYMC at quarry floor level will be backfilled, as will other new portals to be built. I am not clear about whether you plan to backfill the new portal on the south wall of old Quarry Entry #3. Please clarify. You have provided a brief description of the backfilling of the access portal (materials, equipment, drain pipe), but please also mention the size fraction of the best onsite materials to use, plus the dimensions of the backfill volume. Will there be a means to compact it, a need for an interior bulkhead, or a need to grout the fill? The seed mix provided appears to be adequate, but I would recommend one change: you might consider substituting cicer milkvetch for the yellow sweetclover, at the same seeding rate. As a legume it will fix nitrogen into the soil, it thrives at this altitude, and it is a palatable forage for wildlife. However, it will not tend to invade adjacent, undisturbed areas as sweetclover does. Please comment. Please provide a brief description of the methods for constrnctmg, surfacing, and stabilizing the proposed foot trail. Are there to be any specifications used for drainage, width or grade? Are there to be any considerations of surface material, steps or railings? I am only exploring this question because of the proposed post-mining land use: recreation. During the inspection, the subject came up of the curtains, cables and steel decking, which were installed by CYMC for temperature and snow control. These items aze still present, though largely nonfunctional (except for the decking). You stated that they would remain and, unless required to do so, you would not include their removal in your reclamation plan or costs. This is suitable for the present time. Please be aware though, if these items become unstable or begin to present a hazard in some way, they will have to be addressed in an appropriate and timely manner. Please comment. As requested above, please provide more description of the location, sizing and construction of the percolation pond at Quarry Town. Will 100 gpm percolate in? Will it need a spillway? Please describe the dewatering conveyance pipe(s), since its dismantling, removal or disposal will be a reclamation cost liability.
