Please refer to Map M-1 and Tables T1A and T1B in the USFS EA Document. <br />(3) Two drillpads (sic) do not show a proposed access road. For sites 23-08 and 16-08, please <br />indicate the proposed access route. <br />MCC will designate the routes on the map after the alignment is selected in the Tield with <br />USFS personnel. A proposed alignment is shown on map M-1 of the USFS EA Document. <br />(4) The applicant states that the roads will be maintained with water bars and appropriate <br />sedimentation controls as required during the drilling phase. The Division recommends that <br />this be changed to indicate that maintenance will be performed for the life of the road (until <br />reclamation) as per Rule 4.04.3(6)(a). <br />MCC will comply with Rule 4.04.3(6)(a), and make note of the indicated change. <br />(5) The applicant proposes reclamation of the roads. The Division recommends that roads desired <br />for retention by the US Forest Service be identified and retention requested within the revision <br />as supporting the post-mining land use, if and where this is appropriate. <br />MCC will identify the roads desired for retention by the USFS on the post-mining land <br />use map. <br />(6) As we have discussed, final approval of the revision will be granted when the US Forest <br />Service grants right-of--way on the surface. <br />MCC understands this review comment and will keep the CDMG informed as to the <br />USFS schedule in striving for concurrent publication of approval from both agencies. <br />As was discussed in MCC's request for authorization for TR-96, when the Finding of No Significant <br />Impact (FONSn is received from the USFS, it will be forwazded to the CDMG for incorporation to the <br />permit document along with the USFS Stipulations of Approval. <br />If you have questions regazding these responses please call me. <br />Sincer , <br />enry B e <br />Environmental Engineer <br />cc: G.
