<br />~pj.. <br />P3'(Y"~ <br />J~~~' <br />or some other factor? On Page 4-18 it is stated that the Cameo <br />seam and encompassing rocks are drained in the area of the Munger <br />Canyon Mine. Were mine inflows encountered initially upon <br />completion of the entries? Has there been any seasonal recurrence <br />of inflows since the original inflow ceased? <br />Rule 2.05.3 <br />2. Exhibit 2.2-4 "Existing Facilities" needs to be updated to <br />reflect certain minor changes which have occurred since the most <br />recent update, including removal of the storage trailer and <br />conveyor gantry, and modification of SAE ~3. Also, the berm and <br />silt fence below the SAE #1 sediment trap should be identified as <br />SAE ~`5. <br />3. We cannot locate in our files a copy of the construction <br />certification for the existing haul/access road as required by Rule <br />4.03.1(1)(d). We are aware that the certification is on file at <br />the mine office, and request that a copy be submitted for our <br />files. <br />Rule 2.05.4(21(cl <br />4. Maps and cross-sections specified in Section II, Item 1, of <br />this document should be included with the revision submittal. In <br />addition, representative Munger Canyon Haul Road reclamation cross- <br />sections corresponding to the pre-mine and operational typical <br />sections presented in Figure 2.2-24 could not be located, and <br />should be provided, as required by 2.05.4(2)(c). <br />Rule 2.05.4(21(e)(vi) <br />5. We have some concern regarding the species diversity standard <br />as described in the renewal findings document and Page 3-15 of the <br />permit application. The standard is "three cool season grasses, <br />two warm season grasses, and two forbs, at a minimum; no one <br />species of which is to comprise more than 40 percent of the <br />relative vegetative cover." One concern is that the standard <br />includes two warm season grasses, but only one such species <br />(galleta), would appear to be a significant component of any of the <br />affected vegetation types, and only two warm season grasses are <br />included in the seedmix. A second concern is that the standard <br />specifies no minimum relative cover to be provided by individual <br />species or life-forms, which renders the standard somewhat open to <br />interpretation. We suggest the standard be revised as follows: <br />a minimum of three cool season grasses and two forbs <br />which each provide at least 3~ relative cover. warm <br />season grasses shall in combination provide at least 3$ <br />relative cover. No individual species shall represent <br />more than 40~ relative cover. <br />~c~~ <br />6. On Page 3-19, it is indicated that woody plant density would <br />~ ( `~~ <br />
