<br />not have to be an exact date. <br />5) Exhibit C -Rule 6.3.3(b) -Provide the estimated depth to which soil, suitable as a plant <br />growth medium, will be salvased for use in the reclamation process. If the growth medium is not <br />/ reapplied on a graded area immeadiately after salvage, then you must specify how the topsoil will <br />l be stockpiled and stabilized with a vegetative cover until used in reclamation. The location of <br />plant growth medium stockpiles must be shown on Exhibit E-Map. You show a topsoil stockpile <br />on Exhibit A & C map. Will sufficient topsoil be available at the noted stockpile to reclaim all of <br />the disturbed lands? <br />6) Exhibit C -Rule 6.3.3(c) -Specify the thickness of overburden or quantity of waste rock, if <br />,~ any, to be removed to reach the deposit. Plot the location(s) of any overburden stockpile(s) on <br />Exhibit E-Map. <br />7) Exhibit C -Rule 6.3.3(e) -Describe [he major components of the mining operation such as: <br />roads and access routes, pit size, office, plant, and processing facilities. Specifically, describe the <br />size of the excavated disturbed areas. On the Exhibit A & C map that was submitted you show <br />two areas within the permit area (in green) that appear to be [he pond (southern portion of the <br />permit area) and the gravel pit (north central portion of the permit azea). The pond appears to be <br />only 150 feet by 150 feet in size and the other phase 1 area appears to be approximately 500 fee[ <br />by 200 feet (east side). You also delineate the topsoil area as a 50 feet by 200 feet rectangle. <br />However, on the map you designated Exhibit D you show, in yellow and blue, that the whole <br />permit area has been graded to 3:1 slopes in the north portion of the permit and 2:1 and 3:1 <br />slopes in the southern portion which, it appears, will include a large pond (much larger than 150' <br />X 150'). This needs to be clarified. <br />8) Exhibit C -Rule 6.3.3(f) - In your description of major components (paragraph 7 above) <br />'~ you can specify the dimensions of any significant disturbances (pit excavations, etc). <br />9) Exhibit C -Rule 6.3.3(g) -Specify the dimensions of any existing or proposed roads that <br />will be used for the mining operation. Describe any improvements necessary on existing roads <br />.~ and the specifications to be used in the construction of new roads. As pointed out in paragraph <br />above, new or improved roads must be included as part of the permitted acreage. Also, describe <br />any associated drainage and runoff conveyance structures to include sufficient information to <br />evaluate structure sizing (eg. berms, sediment ponds, etc.). <br />10) Exhibit C- Rule 6.3.3(h) -Specify how much water will be used in conjuction with the <br />'~ operation, and the source of this water. <br />l 1) Exhibit C -Rule 6.3.3(i) - If groundwater will be encountered (and it sounds like it will <br />/ since a pond is being proposed) and/or surface water intercepted or disturbed, describe how <br />mining will affect the quantity and quality of the surface or groundwater and the methods to be <br />used to minimize disturbance to the surface and groundwater systems including proposed <br />dewatering, sediment-containment systems, storm water run-off controls, and groundwater points <br />of compliance (if required). <br />
