<br /> <br />3. Is the Mining Plan narrative complete and accurate (Rule 6.4.4)? <br />(Anderson, 9/21/98), (2)&(d) <br />"The use of the word overburden is inconsistent, ~ sometimes including topsoil and <br />sometimes not. The use of overburden as stated in this paragraph will be used to backfill <br />previous mine pits. " (Diane & Thane Anderson- September 21, 1998) <br />DMG Response: The permit application reflects a distinction between overburden <br />piles and topsoil piles. Overburden excavated from one area of the pit will be <br />used to reclaim an area previously mined. Minor amounts of clean fill material <br />generated from off-site construction projects will be used to backfill the excavated <br />mine pit and must meet the requirements of Rule 3.1.5(9). Topsoil piles aze <br />stored in three separate locations and will be replaced on [he affected area to a <br />depth of 12" to 18." <br />4.

" (Diane & Thane Anderson- September 21, 1998) <br />DMG Response: The Division believes the statement "absence of slope" is <br />consistent with the proposed reclamation plan in the text and Map #4. <br />"The 2„d sentence irr this paragraph is unintelligible. The reclamation: of the dewatering <br />ditches needs to be clarified. (Diane & Thane Anderson- September 21, 1998) <br />DMG Response: Reclamation of the dewatering ditches is addressed in Exhibit E, item <br />#5.
