There remain some problems in this section with regard to the infonnadon presented and the organization. The monitoring plan is now presented under the correct Rule citation. However, the full suite parameter list should be included as a table so that it is clear exactly which constituents will be analyzed for. On page 5-42a, after the ground water pazameter table, the Rule citation is still incorrect [(e)(b)(iv)j. The next Rule citation should be (3)(b)(v) which speaks to the hydrologic reclamation plan, followed by (3)(b)(vi) which should give the location of each water diversion, collection, conveyance, treatment, storage, and discharge facility located in the permit area. The existing text with regard to the recharge capacity should be listed under (3)(b)(vii). 9. Section 205.3(4) Pang InrpoundmenLs , mrd Diversions •~• TR-06 Hydrologic Plan presented by the operator appears to covers most issues with the exception of two specific areas. First, it is not clear how drainage from the refuse pile surface will be handled on the west side of the pile. There is currently a haul road skirting this side of the pile. Will this drainage enter a 100-year ditch and be directed to sediment pond #2? Rule 4.09.2(7) requires drainage from above, as well as from the fill surface, to be diverted into ditches designed to safely pass the 100-year event. Also, the refuse pile needs to have specific designs, which, among other things, shows the drainage plan for the pile itself in its final configuration. At the present time, there appears to be no specific design for this pile. Anew technical revision will need to be submitted for the final configuration of this pile. 10. Sectiare 205 4 Reclmnation Pliny page 5-35, Teamce Reclmnation •~• The results of the stability analysis were reviewed by the Division and we concur that the current plan to reclaim the sandstone face is unfeasible. Therefore, OEI needs to submit under a new technical revision, a new reclamation plan, with corresponding topographic maps, that includes the reclamation of the sandstone face (both if mining continues, or if mining does not proceed any further), and the final reclamation maps to include the results of the gravel pit operations. lla) The Division identified seeding rate errors in the reclamation "Grass and Shrub Seed Mix", Permit Table 5-6, during the mid-term review. The Division requested that OEI adjust the seed mix in Table 5-6 to provide for a range of 20-40 PLS/ square foot. OEI's response was to revise the seeding rate in Table 5-6 to an appropriate seed rate of 37 PLS/acre. However, OEI has also chosen to substantially alter the makeup of the mix. The Division had aooroved a seedmix composed of: six (6) cool season perennial grasses three (3) warm season perennial grasses three (3) perennial forbs two (2) perennial legumes five (5) shrub species strip seeded separately from the grass /forb mix.
