Daniet Malbavr <br />bivi.riaa of Minrratr aad Geology <br />September 1, 2004 <br />Page 3 <br />• Response: This discrepancy has been reconciled and updated on Table 21-4A. <br />c) )ear 2002 ralvage information war removed from amended Table 21-2A. k it not clear why chit war done. <br />1 he current verJion of Table 21-2A doer include ralvage pr jectionr for 2002. For consistency, it would <br />seem to be appropriate to retain the origina12002 ralvage projections within a `7-Iirtoric Projections"Table. <br />Please address this apparent discrepancy, and amend the tables as appropriate. <br />Response: Table 21-2A, Annua] Soil Salvage Volumes (Historic Projections), has been revised and <br />updated. <br />d) Current Tablet 214A and 2111B contain tolumnr for topsoil volume removed by year and cumulative <br />volume removed, and also diced haul topsoil volume byyear and tumulative. These columns have been deleted <br />from the amended Table 21-4A. Please provide justification for deletion of this <br />information, or replace the columns. <br />Response: The Tables 21-4A and 21-4B have been consolidated into one table (21-4A). <br />SCC does not typically track the actual volumes of topsoil (ac-ft) salvage or replaced either from <br />direct haul or stockpiling. Therefore these columns on the table (as referenced) are meaningless <br />and were eliminated. However, the general columns have been replaced. <br />e) Amended Table 214A heading inditatet that the data is specific to the II-IY/ South Extension Area, <br />however the various cumulative area, volume replaced, and rtockpile inventory tolumnr appear to include data <br />from the otiginalpermit area ar well. Please clarify on the table that the cumulative azea and <br />• vo/ume columns include data from the origma/ permit area, if that is the case. Alsq <br />the Topsoil Stockpile Inventory listing fog 1999 is 54.8 acre-feet. This would appear <br />ro be a typographical error. Based on the net change of 83.6 acre feet listed for 2000, <br />and the 2000 stockpile inventory of 63L8 acre feet, it wou/d appear that 1999 <br />inventory should be 548.2 acre feet. Please amend the table as appropriate. <br />Response: The r}~pographic error has been corrected. <br />~ There it a dirrnepanry of 69.7 arne feet between amended Table 21-4A, Toproil Stockpile column for 2001, <br />which lirtr a rtockpile volume of 796.9 acre feet, and amended Table 21-3 Toproil Stockpile Inventory, <br />which listr a rtockpile volume of 866.6 arne feet, for 2001. please address this discrepancy and <br />amend the tab/e(s) as appropriate. <br />Response: The 69.7 acre feet discrepancy is related to the TAHR, while the information in the <br />Table 21-4A refer to only the mining area. Table 21-3 contains a footnote that addresses the TAHR <br />stockpiles. <br />5. Item Resolved <br />2.05.2 and 2.05.3 Operation Plan and Derrniption <br />6. Item Resolved <br />7.
