4H:1 V, water will be impounded at that interface. Furthermore, the post-mining <br />watershed will re-direct what were several small watersheds into a single discharge point. <br />Is the natural channel that will receive this additional run-off capable of handling the <br />increased flows and safely conveying post-mining run-off into the St. Charles River? <br />Please explain. <br />This is discussed in more detail under Exhibit E where clarification of the surface water <br />flow and impoundment issues will be requested and under Exhibit F where additional <br />details about the post-mining topography are requested. <br />(d) The size of area to be worked at any one time. <br />This is adequately addressed in the pemut application document but the combined areas <br />of active mining and reclamation must be clarified as discussed above. <br />(e) An approximate timetable to describe the mining operation. <br />The overall plan is adequately depicted on the maps and well described in the text of the <br />application. However, as discussed above, a more detailed depiction of how a series of <br />years correlates to the various aspects of mining and reclamation that will be occurring <br />simultaneously would provide a better visual representation of the worst case disturbance <br />for bonding purposes as well as planning purposes. Please provide a graphic <br />representation of the mining and reclamation plan to fulfill this requirement. <br />(f) A map may be used along with a narrative to present the following <br />information: <br />(g) Identify the primary and secondary commodities to be mined/extractedand <br />describe the intended use. <br />The pernut application adequately identifies the primary and secondary commodities as <br />limestone and sandstone to be used in the manufacture of cement.. <br />(h) Name and describe the intended use of all expected incidental products to be <br />mined/extracted by the proposed operation. <br />These items are satisfactorily addressed in the permit application. <br />(i) Specify if explosives will be used in conjunction with the mining (or <br />reclamation). In consultation with the Office, the Applicant must <br />demonstrate pursuant to Subsection 6.5(4), Geotechnical Stability Exhibit, <br />that offsite areas will not be adversely affected by blasting. <br />These items have been addressed in the application. The Division of Minerals and <br />Geology has reviewed the information presented and found that blasting at this operation <br />
