<br />7. b) DMG had requested documentation and narrative summarization regazding quantity of <br />suitable subsoil material available for salvage from proposed future refuse disposal areas. <br />This request was not addressed in the submittal. If the information is available, it should <br />be provided. If not, a stipulation will be placed on the permit to require submittal of <br />documentation regazding availability of suitable cover material prior to initiation of <br />disturbance within proposed future refuse disposal areas. <br />c) Requested summarization of the refuse cover depth study was provided. <br />8. DMG had requested that Tables V-6 and V-7 be amended to distinguish between interim <br />and permanent reclamation, eliminate inconsistencies and be brought up to date . <br />Requested updates were provided. <br />9. DMG had indicated that there was a lack of clarity in the application with regazd to which <br />of three seedmixes included in the application would be seeded within particulaz <br />reclaimed areas. DMG also pointed out an erroneous map citation. <br />The erroneous map citation on page V-33 was deleted. Table V-7 indicates in general the <br />specific seedmix that was used within particular reclaimed areas which have been <br />revegetated to date. Appropriate permit narrative, tables, or maps aze still needed to <br />identify the specific seedmix to be used within specific sites on disturbed areas to be <br />reclaimed in the future. Also, if the RP-1 seedmix (Table V-15A) is to be used in <br />reclamation of other refuse disposal areas, the application will need to be appropriately <br />amended. <br />10. Most of the concerns addressed by this item pertained to remedial revegetation of RP-I, <br />and were addressed by MR-108 and subsequently implemented in the field. The one <br />concern which is still outstanding is that the application needs to be amended to address <br />measures which will be taken in future refuse azea soil handling and revegetation <br />operations to minimize cheatgrass competition on permanent reclamation areas. <br />11. Modifications made with regard to seedmix rate, species, and seeding methods for RP-I <br />remedial revegetation would also be appropriate for revegetation of other refuse areas, <br />and we would recommend that the application be amended accordingly. <br />12. Letter of May 2, ] 997 committed operator to submit an annual evaluation of permanent <br />reclamation areas beginning with the 1997 Annual Reclamation Report. <br />13. a) The superfluous statement in pazagraph (~ on page V-58 was deleted as requested. <br />b) Cover sampling methods were appropriately amended. <br />c) Statistical formulas were appropriately amended. <br />
