The following information summarizes the responses to the Division's adequacy concerns. The
numbering system follows the same as presented in the Division's letter. References to updated materials
is provided in the responses. Please note that Map 29 has been updated and is attached. The responses
are as follows:
1. The infornation is attached.
2. The monitoring plan is attached and can be inserted into Exhibit 29.
3. No response required
4. No response required
5. A copy of drawing IV-36 is attached.
6. No response required
7. The drainage front the topsoil stockpile presently is routed to the incised pond. The final disposition of
the pond has not been deternuned as of this time. 1 would suggest delaying a final resolution on this
matter until Empire has had lime to revegelate the corridor and then discuss the utility of having a pond
on the property. ff the decision is made to kcep the pond the appropriate demonstration will be made to
the Division. Also, at that time the topsoil that is stockpiled adjacent to the pond will be identified in the
reclamation plan and hauled to the appropriate site during final reclamation.
8. A copy' of maps I V-9 and 15 are attached for the Division's records. Empire does not know what the
Division has on file in regards [o the CTL/I'hompson road certification. If the Division could advise as to
what they have in their files Empire would be willing to provide information it has that the Division is
missing. An alternate to this would be to search Empire's files during the next inspceUOn to determine
what information the Division would want to copy for incorporation into their files.
9. A. The road located in sections 31 and 32 is a county road that has been vacated to Empire, please refer
to Exhibit 5 in the permit. Given this history Empire believes the issue of landowner approval was
granted when the road was constructed originally. If requested, Empire could pursue obtaining
concurrence from the Land Board but believes that step is not necessary. I
