Mr. Bill Clazk <br />Permit Application No. M-2006-029 <br />May 16, 2006 <br />material will be salvaged for use in the reclamation process. Tn addition, during the pre-operational inspection, the <br />affected area appeared to be stripped of several inches of plant growth medium, which had been stockpiled in several <br />locations. Please specify how these stockpiles will be stabilized. <br />Rule 6.3.3(c) Exhibit C -Mining Plan <br />4, Exhibit C of the application indicates there will be no overburden or waste rock removed to reach the deposit to be <br />mined yet the application also indicates overburden stockpiles or waste rock will be placed in the northeast corner of <br />the parcel. Please clarify whether waste rack or overburden will be removed and stockpiled during the mining <br />operation. <br />Rule 6.3.3(d) Exhibit C -Mining Plan <br />5. Exhibit C of the application indicates that the thickness of the deposit is unlmown. While the thickness of the deposit <br />may be unlmown, the applicant must still indicate how deep he intends to mine. Please revise the Mining Plan to <br />reflect how deep the applicant intends to mine at this site. <br />Rule 6.3.3(1) Exhibit C -Mining Plan <br />6. Exhibit C of the application references the NCRS (sic) information to address the information required under this rule. <br />The information presented in the MRCS letter is only a recommendation from the NRCS. Therefore, the applicant <br />must provide specific information to address the issues outlined in this rule. <br />Rule 6.3.3Em1 Exhibit C -Mining Plan <br />7. Exhibit C of the application indicates that the deposit will be processed on-site but does not indicate what the process <br />will be. Please revise Exhibit C to describe the nature of the process and the facilities to be used in the process. <br />Rule 6.3.4(1)(a) Exhibit D -Reclamation Plan <br />8. Exhibit D of the application indicates that minimal overburden will be replaced, as there is minimal topsoil in the <br />area. However, based on the soil description included with the NRCS letter, the division believes that up to twelve <br />inches of material may be suitable for use as overburden. Please revise Exhibit D to indicate how much overburden <br />will be replaced. <br />Rule 6.3.4(1)(b) Exhibit D -Reclamation Plan <br />9. Exhibit D of the application states that the applicant will attempt to reclaim slopes to 3H:1 V where possible but that it <br />may not be possible in some areas because the original slopes are steeper than 3H:1 V. However, during the pre- <br />operational inspection the surrounding area did not appear to have any slopes steeper than 2H:1V. Therefore the <br />Division requests that the applicant revise Exhibit D to indicate that all reclaimed slopes will be reclaimed to 3H:1 V. <br />Rule 6.3.4.1(c) Exhibit D -Reclamation Plan <br />10. Exhibit D of the application refers to the NRCS letter to address measures that will be taken to revegetate the site. <br />The information provided in the NRCS letter is only a recommendation from the NRCS. In addition, included in the <br />application is a document form the U.S. Forest Service that details "Rehabilitation Requirements". Based on these <br />two pieces of information, it is unclear which measures will be taken to revegetate the site. Please revise Exhibit D to <br />clearly indicate what measures will betaken to revegetate the site. <br />Rule 6.3.7 Exhibit G Source of Legal Right-to-Enter <br />
