this is actually to be done as a measure to minimize disturbance to the hydrologic balance, prevent offsite damage etc. EXHIBIT D-Reclamation Plan: Rule 6.3.4 of the Mineral Rules states that the elements of this plan must be correlated with the Exhibit E Map which has not entirely been done. A listing of the elements of the reclamation plan that must be indicated on the Exhibit E Map will be covered in a subsequent discussion of that Exhibit. The application does not contain a specific commitment as to the gradient of reclaimed slopes. The reclamation plan provided for the application is worded "should be sloped" and !~'~•* the Division wants a "will be sloped" at a certain gradient. ` D(1h Please provide a commitment to slope the reclaimed surfaces at ~~('" a certain gradient and, if steeper than 3:1, provide ~\~ justification that supports these steeper slopes as acceptable for the proposed post mining land use and demonstrates compliance with the applicable performance standards of Rule 3.1.
