Bayfield Pit # I Adequacy Letter Response Page 4 • The gas well is active. The buried gas line is abandoned but not removed. The map has been changed to reflect the location of each. Exhibit F cont.: Miscellaneous items which should be shown on this map, relevant to the mining operation, include a delineation of the limits of the affected area, road locations within either of the new areas, all topsoil and product stockpile locations, indication of direction of mining, delineation of sepazate mining phases if any, and present vegetation indicating pasture and wooded azeas. ^ The miscellaneous items, as described above, have been added to the mining map. Exhibit F cont.: The Table of Areas and Acreages notes that the 1997 Amendment Area is 11.05 acres. This appears to indicate the area involved in this AM-03 application. The striped symbol on the map depicts two blocks of land, each labeled "1997 Amendment Area". It appears that the larger one is also referred to as "Phase 4". This is not correct, since this permit file includes specific descriptions of the original four phases, and the additional three phases. Phase four, as recognized by DMG, is midway along [he west side of the lazge pond, and consists of 1.14 acres. You may have mistakenly referred to this new 10.3-acre area under the county's phase numbering. The amendment is proposing to combine the existing phases into three phases. These three separate phases are shown on the mining map. The mining phases have also been outlined earlier in this letter. Exhibit D -Mining Plan: There are several statements included herein which need clarification. Your mention above about the same phasing of mining, does not match this Exhibit's statement of "one phase" of mining. ^ The mining will occur in three phases as depicted on the mining map and as described previously in this letter. Exhibit D cont.: You state that mining will proceed through the "divider of future lakes" which is neither described here nor represented in Exhibit C. That is followed by [he phrase that it will be "reconstructed as part of reclamation". Mining will occur between the divider of the two lakes as shown in Phase I and Phase III. Mining of this divider will occur during Phase III. This area will be reclaimed and maybe diked once mining has been completed in Phase III. Exhibit D cont.: Please provide infomration about the dewatering and mining of the pasture east of the batch plant.
