The exhibits and maps have been updated with the <br />correct legal description. <br />E.rhibit D- Mining Plan <br />2. "The statement regazding the depth of the topsoil is inconsistent. It is also inconsistent on how the <br />topsoil will be used in reclamation." (Diane & Thane Anderson- September 21, 1998) <br />DMG Response: The applicant revised the permit pages to reflect the correct topsoil replacement <br />depth. The applicant will replace topsoil to a depth between 12" and 18" over the affected area. <br />3. "The use of the word overburden is inconsistent, sometimes including topsoil and sometimes not. <br />The use of overburden as stated in this paragraph will be used to backfill previous mine pits." <br />(Diane & Thane Anderson- September 21, 1998) <br />DMG Response: The permit application reflects a distinction between overburden piles and topsoil <br />piles. Overburden excavated from one area of the pit will be used to reclaim an area previously <br />mined. Minor amounts of clean fill material generated from off-site construction projects will be <br />used to backfill the excavated mine pit. The overburden generated from off site must meet the <br />requirements of Rule 3.1.5(9). Topsoil piles aze stored in three sepazate locations and will be <br />replaced on the affected azea to a depth of 12" to 18." <br />4. "The haul road shown in Ivfap 3 shows the length of the existing ranch road to be approximately 200 <br />feet rather than the stated length of approximately 16~ feet." (Diane & Thane Anderson- September <br />2l, / 998) <br />DMG Response: Map #3 titled, Tellier Gravel Pit Mine Plan Map, depicts the haul road starting <br />from Routt County Road 33A and leading to the pit azea. The haul road is included in the affected <br />permit boundary and is depicted on the map. The map reveals the actual location and distance of the <br />haul road and meets the minimum requirements of the Rules and Regulations. <br /> <br />
