Outslope gradients will not exceed 3:1. Where will the backfill material come from? How much material is needed to backfill all the cut slopes?

The topographic depiction is inaccurate, e) the map should show that the survey lines represent the proposed and existing permit boundaries. 8. Exhibit G - If surface water is captured on site it can only be retained for 72 hours or less or you must comply with state water laws. If water storage facilities aze constructed, and water is stored in the structures, you must comply with state water laws. 9. Exhibit H - OK 10. Exhibit I - OK 11. Exhibit J - OK 12. Exhibit K -You need to provide historical climate information regarding monthly average precipitation amounts, monthly average temperature information and monthly average wind velocity and direction information. 30 yeazs of data is preferred but 15-20 years will suffice. 13. Exhibit L -The Division will evaluate your esfimated financial warranty requirement. 14. Exhibit M - OK 1 S. Exhibit N - OK 16. Exhibit O - OK 17. Exhibit P - OK 18. Exhibit Q - OK 19.
