1 EXHIBIT A (Rule 6.3.1): The Division is willing to accept the unmarked map with the listing of the owners of the lots adjacent to and within 200 feet of the proposed permit azea, a permit area outline and a regional location map as satisfying the requvements for Exhibit A. ~~c, The applicant should indicate in writing if this map is intended to serve as Exhibit A in the permit application. NOTE: The various materials supplied to address the requirements of Exhibit C (Rule 6.3.3) do not agree in many instances. While the Exhibit C originally supplied provides acceptable answers [o some of [he requirements, the Exhibit Summary received on 10/27/99 and the Exhibit E-Mine Plan Map received 10/29/99, apparently intended to revise responses given in the original Exhibit C, do not in themselves address all the requirements. As a result, pieces of the Exhibit appear on three different documents. In order that there be no misunderstanding by the Division of what is proposed by the applicant, a complete and revised Exhibit C document bearing the acceptable responses to the requirements of the Exhibit but also addressing the conflicts or deficiencies specified below should be supplied. EXHIBIT C (Rule 6.3.3 (b)): The Exhibit C-Mining Plan information originally supplied appears to indicate that no topsoil exists at the site, but the Exhibit Sununary dated 10/27/99and the information provided on ~i the Exhibit E-Mine Plan Map dated 10/29/99 indicate that 6 to 8 inches of topsoil will be salvaged for reclamation purposes. None of these documents, however, commit the operator to stabilizing the topsoil stockpile. The operator should make clear how much topsoil will be salvaged at the site for reclamation purposes and commit to stabilize the topsoil stockpile. If to be stabilized by vegetation, the stockpile must be shaped accordingly. EXHIBIT C (Rule 6.3.3 (d)): The original Exhibit C-Mining Plan submitted indicates [he thickness of the deposit to be 30 feet; the Exhibit Summary dated 10/27/99 and the Exhibit E-Mine Plan Map dated 10/29/99 ~~ indicate the depth of the pit to be l4 feet. The operator should make clearjust what the thickness of the deposit to be mined will be. EXHIBIT C (Rule 6.3.3 (k)): The original Exhibit C-Mining Plan submitted indicates this requirement to not be applicable and the other sources of Exhibit C information do not respond to this requirement at all. The response requred here is not whether refuse and or acid or toxic materials will be exposed but how will they be handled and disposed of if exposed. The operator should properly respond to the requtrement. EXHIBIT C (Rule 6.3.3 (1)): Here again, the original Exhibit C-Mining Plan submitted indicates this requirement to not be applicable amd the other sources of Exhibit C information do not address this requvement at all. The response required here is not if there will be an effect on the hydrologic balance, etc. but what measures are to be taken to minimize disturbance to the hydrologic balance, prevent off-site damage and provide far a stable ©~ configuration of the reclaimed area. The response could, for example, refer to the fact that the pit appears to drain inward which eliminates storm water runoff from carrying sediment offsite, that ground water is several hundred lower than the mining level, and that the reclaimed slopes of the pit will be stabilized by vegetation, etc. The operator should properly respond to the requrement. NOTE: The application's responses to the requirements of Exhibit D (Rule 6.3.4) are made in the original Exhibit D-Reclamatiom Plan together with lbe Exhibit Summary dated 10/27/99 and the Exhibit E- Reclamation Map. Some of the responses are acceptable; some are in conflict; some requirements da not receive any response at all. As a result, a completely revised Exhibit D should be submitted that responds to all the requirements, eliminates the comflicts between the two sources of Exhibit D information and addresses the deficiencies specified below. EXHIBIT D (Rule 6.3.4 (I) (b)): Exhibit D in the original application indicates the reclaimed surface of the pit will be "flat land". The Exhibit E-Reclamation Plan Iviap shows the maximum gradient of the reclaimed land to be I:S. ' The operator should respond in the revised Exhibit D with the proper gradient.
