onto Co. Rd. N. These roads are also shown on the attached Mining Plan <br />Map. Both roadways will be reclaimed by seeding when the pit is complete. <br />Please state if the azea noticed as "CRP" on the maps in inside or outside <br />of the proposed permit area. <br />The area noted as "CRP" lies outside of the original pit boundary and is still <br />outside the expanded pit. <br />• Please depict the location of any oiUgas lines on one of the exhibits. <br />There is no oil or gas production on this quarter and there are no oil or gas <br />lines. <br />3. Rule 63.4 Exhibit D -Reclamation Plan Please address the following items: <br />• The operator depicts three ponds in the bottom of the pit, Please explain <br />the water rights associated with the capture and storage of the water in the <br />pit. Please explain how the pit will be lined to hold water and prevent <br />seepage. <br />There will be no water rights associated with the pond areas. They will <br />simply be shallow depressions which may hold a small amount of excess <br />rainfall for a very limited period of time. They will be left to enhance wildlife <br />opportunities for finding water in the area. The pits will not be lined, nor are <br />they intended to hold water for an extended period of time. <br />• Please explain how water will safely leave the site and flow into the <br />existing drainages. <br />This is sn intermittent drainage area Water will leave the site when it <br />reaches the level to cross Co. Rd. 59 to the south. Yuma County does not <br />have a culvert at the road crossing, but they have provided a low water <br />crossing that allows the natural drainage to flow on to the southeast in times <br />of heavy rainfall. <br />• Please state the anticipated depth of topsoil to be replaced on all affected <br />area. <br />The NRCS Soil Survey indicated that there is 5-6" of topsoil over the site. <br />Assuming that is correct, we would hope to return at least 5^ inches of topsoH <br />on the affected areas during reclamation. <br />• The operator provided only one specie to be planted on site, brome grass <br />at 31bs./acre. This is a significant change from what was approved under <br />the original 110 application. The proposed future land use is wildlife <br />2 <br />
