<br />a) There is an azea of barren, eroded spoils within BRB-1, which apparently <br />was affected by acid forming spoil material. It is our understanding that <br />the barren azea will be excluded from the bond release block when the <br />initial bond release application is submitted, and that a plan for remedial <br />reclamation will be pursued. Please confirm that our understanding is <br />correct. <br />b) Numerous Tree Plot azeas aze delineated on the Exhibit. Our assumption <br />is that these areas aze locations where planned shrub or tree planting was <br />conducted, and that these azeas do not necessarily conrespond to the "shrub <br />concentration azeas" or synonymous "high density shrub patches", <br />referenced in subsequent sections of the appendix. Please confirm or <br />clarify as appropriate. <br />c) Directly south of Pazce199-1 f, in BRB-4, there is a reclaimed parcel that <br />includes a lazge Tree Plot area. The parcel does not appeaz to have a <br />date/number designation. Also, there is a parcel in BRB-4, at the extreme <br />southern end of the reclamation, that is designated 86-4e. If the pazcel <br />were reclaimed in 1986, it would logically be included in BRB-3. Please <br />address and correct these apparent discrepancies as appropriate. <br />4. The Logical Land Management Units (LLMU's) as described in the appendix and <br />delineated on Exhibit 13-13.2 comprise individually fenced pastures. These units <br />do not appeaz to correspond precisely with the Logical Land Management Units <br />terminology as described in the 1995 DMG Guidelines document. Under "Bond <br />Release Block Constraints", on page 14 of the Guidelines, a bond release block is <br />described as a grouping of reclamation parcels that comprise or aze contained <br />within a single logical land management unit. This does not appear to be the case <br />with respect to the B1tB's and LLMU's as delineated on the map exhibits in the <br />appendix. For example, the BRB-3 bond release block appeazs to extend into 5 <br />sepazate LLMU's, as defined in the appendix (Cow Camp Pasture, Pecoco <br />Pasture, Wadge Pasture, Powder House Pasture, and Thompson 440 Pasture). <br />It may be the case that multiple pastures could be appropriately grouped into a <br />single LLMU, based on the factors described in Part 2 (pages 14 and 15) of the <br />Guidelines. If so, the necessary amendment maybe limited to revision of the <br />narrative under "Logical Land Management Units", on page 2 of the appendix, to <br />describe and justify the inclusion of multiple designated pastures within a single <br />LLMU. If this is not the case, it may be necessary to firrttrer divide the proposed <br />bond release blocks, to create additional bond release blocks such that each BRB <br />is contained within a single LLMU. <br />Please review the referenced Guideline sections and amend the appendix as <br />necessary to demonstrate that the Bond Release Block/Logical Land <br />Management Unit framework of the appendix is in accordance with the <br />Guideline. <br />
