Please amend the description of portal seals and backfilling to accurately document <br />the type of seals, the method used to backfill the openings, and the dates of <br />completion of seal installation and subsequent backfilling. <br />19. This comment pertained to Subsection 3.9, which previously addressed reclamation <br />of the existing disturbance. The reclamation plan sections of the text have been <br />extensively amended to bring the plan up to date and to eliminate duplicative <br />information and information that is no longer applicable. The specific concerns <br />identified in this comment have been satisfactorily addressed by the amended <br />reclamation plan. Item resolved. <br />In RN-4 Adequacy hems 20 through 24, the Division requested that various out-dated <br />permit tables be properly updated or eliminated, as appropriate. In response to these <br />concerns, Tables 2.2-1, 3.7-2, and 3.9-1 were amended, and Tables 2.2-2 through 2.2-5, <br />and 3.7-1 were properly deleted. <br />The Division has only one remaining concern with regard to the subject tables. Amended <br />Table 3.7-2 indicates that revegetation of the Loma Loadout was conducted in 2002, which <br />appears to be erroneous. Our records indicate the revegetation was conducted in the fall of <br />2001. Please amend the table as appropriate. <br />In RN-4 Adequacy hems 25 through 47, the Division requested amendment or de%tion of <br />various permit figures and maps in Volumes 11 and 111 that were out of date or no longer <br />applicable. <br />25. The operator provided a new permit and adjacent surface and coal ownership map <br />for the mine area (new Figure 1.1-3) and a new permit and adjacent surface <br />ownership map for the Loma Loadout (new Figure 1.1-3a). There appears to be one <br />error on the legend of amended Figure 1.1-3a. The listing "Alfred G. Smith & Los <br />Lagos Ranch" does not correspond to the listing in amended Appendix G. The <br />correct listing would appear to be "Alfred G Hoyl & Los Lagos Ranch". Please <br />amend the Figure as appropriate. <br />26. Figure 2.1-1 was properly updated to show the extent of mining to date, with no <br />future mine development projections. Previous Figures 2.1-1 through 2.1-5 that <br />depict no longer applicable mine plan projections have been properly deleted from <br />then permit. Item resolved. <br />27. Figure 2.2-1 was properly amended to depict affected and proposed affected land<. <br />within the permit area. Figure 2.2-2, which depicts various surface disturbances <br />that were not implemented and are no longer approved, has been properly deleted. <br />Item resolved. <br />28. An erroneous List of Figures was properly amended. Item resolved. <br />29. Figure 2.2-3 was properly deleted, because the subject sediment control reservoir <br />was never constructed, and is no longer proposed. Item resolved. <br />30. Figure 2.2-4 Present Mine Site Configuration & Existing Faci/ities was properly <br />amended as requested. Item resolved. <br />
