5) (cont.) permit application package. P&M understands that vegetative cover standards (47% for non- topsoiled areas and 90% for topsoiled areas) for performance bond release for all reclaimed areas must be met as described in the approved permit application (Section 4.4, Revegetation Plan). To ensure this, both impoundment sideslopes with sparsely vegetated areas will receive augmentive seedings with the approved permanent seed mixes, and shorelines void of vegetation will also be interseeded with the approved riparian seed mix. 6) Rule 2.06.8(3)(b)(i) requires "Mapping of unconsolldated streambed deposits holding streams including, but not limited to, geologic maps of unconsolidated deposits, maps of streams..., topography showing local and regional terrace levels, and topography o/ terraces, flood plains and channels showing surface drainage patterns." Please provide a map on a scale of 1 " = 100' showing the above listed features of Oak Creek in the area for which declassification is proposed. The mapped area should include lands 200' north and south beyond the area. Please include the depth and aerial extent of all deposits, including coal lines and refuse deposits from previous mining disturbances. A field survey was conducted July 14, 1993 by P8M staff beginning 200' north of, and concluding 200' south of the permit boundaries along the Oak Creek as recommended by DMG. No terracing is evident through and around the declassification area as most of the area has been at one time or another, disturbed by constructions of Highway 131, County Road 179, Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad and mining activities. Exhibit 4.6-10, "Oak Creek -Alluvial Valley Floor, Declassification Area, Land Use/Disturbance Map", contains locations of the Oak Creek channel, the extents of identified refuse deposits from previous mining disturbances and the existing public transportation systems (e.g., Highway 131, County Road 179 and Denver 8 Rio Grande Western railroad, etc.).
