Please contact the appropriate agency(s) and then indicate how you intend [o handle and dispose of such materials, if encountered, in order to meet appropriate State requirements. EXHIBIT C, Sections (n) and (o): You have not provided responses to these sections. Please zither provide responses [o these sections or indicate that they do no[ apply to your operation. EXHIBIT D, Section (c): You have indicated that fertilizer will be used if soil conditions warrant but you have not indicated how you wil! determine if soil conditions warrant the use of fertilizer. Please commit to conducting a soil test (as the NRCS recommends) and [o submitting it, together with your proposed fertilizer or a proposal not to employ fertilizer, to the Division for review and approval. Altematively, you could commit [o employing the fertilizer recommended by the NRCS. EXHIBIT D, Section (c): You have staled [hat the seedbed will be mulched as needed. You have not, however, indicated how a need for mulch will be determined. Please indicate under what conditions the seedbed will be mulched and, if a need for mulch is found to exist, what kind of mulch will be used, the crimping method and rate of application.

EXHIBIT E, Mining Plan Map: The Exhibit C Mining Plan is required to be consistent with the Exhibit E, Mining Plan Map, If, as suggested by the responses provided under Exhibit C, there is to be an area excavated below groundwater level so that mining is carried on in a wet pit, the limits of that wet pit are not illustrated on the Mining Plan Map. If mining in a wet pit is intended, the Mining Plan Map should be revised to show the limits and depth of that pit. EXHIBIT E, Reclamation Plan Map: The Mining Plan and Reclamation Plan Maps have been combined in the application which is not recommended, but since the combined map is large enough to show all the requred features, it will be accepted. The illustration of the 3: I slope forming the southern boundary of the pit, however, is shown as running directly into the permit area boundary. Accomplishing this without mining or disturbing area outside the permit boundary is unlikely. The Reclamation Plan Map should indicate a more realistic relationship of the 3:1 reclaimed slope to the permit area boundaries.
