<br />You have stated that aggregate washing may be part of your operation. Please <br />describe the fate of spent wash water. Will it be discharged back to the <br />river? Will it be clarified in settling ponds and re-used? If any ponds are <br />to be constructed, please submit design details. Material cleaned out from <br />settling ponds could be a good source of plant growth medium. You have also <br />indicated that if a wash plant is installed that approximately 50 to 100 <br />gallons of water per day may be used in washing aggregate. This would be a <br />very low volume unless you are talking about make-up water in a re-circulating <br />system. Please confirm these figures or submit new volume figures. <br />The application indicates that an asphalt batch plant may be set up at the <br />site. Please describe how possible spills will be handled. <br />Exhibit D- Reclamation Plan <br />Please report on the feasibility of utilizing fines as a plant growth medium, <br />and submit the grass, forb, shrub and tree species to be planted, and <br />applicable quantities. I would recommend preparing the area by ripping to a <br />two foot depth, replacement of at least six inches of suitable fines, seeding <br />(you may wish to contact the Soil Conservation Service for assistance in <br />developing a seed mix appropriate to this site), then application of a straw <br />mulch at a rate of two tons per acre, which will be crimped into the soil. <br />You have stated that the post-mining land configuration will be the same as the <br />present configuration. Please specify the maximum gradient of reclaimed slopes <br />of reclaimed slopes (horizontal:vertical). At this time, the Division has no <br />details on present land configuration. Please submit north-south <br />cross-sections of the permit area land surface sufficient to describe the land <br />configuration. <br />Please submit a re-calculation of reclamation cost based on the reclamation <br />tasks discussed in this section. <br />Exhibit E- Mao <br />Please submit one or more maps sufficient to clearly and legibly depict all the <br />details on the map previously submitted, as well as the following: <br />1. Location of plant growth medium stockpiles. <br />2. Locate ponds if any are to be constructed in conjunction with the wash <br />plant. <br />3. The topography of the permit area with contour lines of sufficient detail <br />to portray the direction and rate of slope of the affected land. <br />4. Indicate the direction that mineral extraction will proceed. <br />5. Delineate the boundaries of the 100 year flood plain, and the ordinary <br />high water line. <br />-3- <br />
