storage associated with the alternative land use upon approval of PR-3. We have one additional request associated with this item. We find reference to cover soil placement on the refuse pile outslopes in accordance with the approved plan in the 3`d Quarter, 2002 RSRDA certification report, however placement of cover material on the top of the refuse area in accordance with the approved plan has apparently not been addressed within a certified report. Please include reference to placement and verification of 18" minimum thickness of non- toxic cover material and gravel surfacing on the top of the RSRDA waste pile (area to be used for equipment and material storage under the alternative land use) within the next quarterly certification report for the RSRDA waste pile. 2.05.4(21(el and 4.15 Revegetation Plan 19. DRMS requested SCC to provide a plan for establishment of an effective vegetative ground cover for "non-active use areas" included within the alternative postmine land use, and further requested that "active use areas" where revegetation would not be conducted be delineated on an appropriate postmining map. In response, operator indicated that the seedbed preparation, seeding practices, and seed mixes specified in the currently approved permit would be applied to the "non-active use" alternative land use areas. New Exhibit 6C-A was submitted, to delineate "active use" alternative land use areas, where revegetation will not be conducted. Our interpretation, based on review of Exhibits 6C-A, 6C, 63, and Figure 14-14, is that "non-active use" portions of the alternative land use area would include all areas that fall within the "Industrial/Commercial" boundary on Exhibits 6C and 63, but not within the "Active Area" delineated on Exhibit 6C-A. Further, it is also our understanding that all of the "non-active use" portions of the altemative land use area would be subject to regrading and seeding. Please confirm if this interpretation is correct, or provide additional clarification if warranted. Note that the assumption regarding areas that would be subject to grading and seeding may be altered by information submitted in response to Item 13, above. 20. DRMS requested that SCC include a proposal for objective criteria for demonstration of "satisfactory cover establishment" pursuant to Rule 4.15.10 for the alternative land use areas, or confirm acceptance of subjective assessment of "ground cover sufficient to control erosion" at the time of bond release. Operator responded that subjective assessment would be acceptable: Please provide amended text for inclusion in the Revegetation Success
