lJ 4. The sediment ponds were deleted from the mining plan because it was discovered that the water percolates through the soil. 5. Yes. EXHIBIT E - RECLAMATION PLAN 1. We appreciate your suggestion and will reconsider our plan now that we have your expertise. 2. We appreciate the thought and consideration that went into this suggestion. Thank you. 3. A ditch three or four inches deep running laterally across the slope will be constructed by blade when and where needed to prevent erosion. EXHIBIT F - RECLAMATION PLAN MAP 1. Drainage ways will be continued down the slopes. Riprap will be placed along the courses on the reclaimed slopes to prevent erosion. EXHIBIT G - WATER INFORMATION 1. The operator does not plan to affect the surface water or ground water. Several dikes were erected along the drainage courses many years ago. It is assumed they were for either erosion control or stock watering. The area being described as a "pond area" is obviously in the location of one of those dikes. EXHIBIT L - RECLAMATION COSTS 1. Approximately 32 percent of Stage 6 and 43 percent of Stage 7 will be disturbed and unreclaimed at the point of maximum disturbance. This would be 2.6 acres and 2.4 acres respectively for a total of 5.0 acres +/-, At a cost of $115 per acre (for seed and drilling), the additional reclamation costs would be $575, bringing the maximum cost of reclamation to approximately $99,000. We recommend bond be set at $99,000. 2. The chart shows total acres involved if mining and reclamation go to completion. The greatest disturbance is when Stage 5 is 65 percent complete. The acreage involved thus becomes 47.3 x 65~ = 30.7 +/- acres. The correct acreage is in fact 52.69 +/-,
