Permit Revision Adequacy July 6, 2004 Page 6 of l8 42. On page 2.04-88 the discussion relating to drainage basins indicates that basins #33 and 34 lie outside the zone of influence of planned SOD mining. That does not fit with what is shown on the map in Figure I, exhibit SSA. Please check and revise or explain as necessary. (That may also apply to basin #4.) 43. On page 2.04-95, in the 2nd paragraph, there seems to be some words missing from the last two sentences. Please check. 44. Please indicate the most recent survey of registered groundwater wells in the area conducted to comply with Rule 2.04.7{1)(a)(iv), "...description of ownership, uses, and location information for all springs, wells, and other developed groundwater sources," and the locations and reported yields from all wells registered with the State Engineer from within the permit and adjacent areas (2.04.7(1)(b). 45. The exhibits in the 19-series (Exhibits 19, 19A, 19B, 19C) summarize baseline data for surface water in areas where mining has been previously approved.

In addition, the approved permit contains an adequate larger scale vegetation map (Map 43) covering the azeas of approved disturbance, at a scale of 1:2400, with the approved historic record vegetation study azea depicted on Map 53. There are no areas of proposed or approved surface disturbance within the SOD extension azea. Plant community descriptions as required by 2.04.10(4) were updated to include some additional discussion regazding ripazian communities and wetlands within the SOD extension azea. We have only two requests regarding the vegetation maps and narrative: a) Map 42 will need to be amended to include the proposed SOD extended permit boundary, as required by 2.10.1(3) (see comment #2). b) A wet meadow community is described on amended page 2.04-142 and 2.04-143 as occurring within the SOD extension area in places along the Dry Fork and Lick Creek. The community does not appeaz to be delineated on Map 42, but it may be the case that
