8. As discussed above, no dewatering from Phase D is necessary as revised. <br />9. Storage of overburden and topsoil is shown on Exhibit C with overburden placed <br />within the perimeter of the mining phase and that of topsoil storage on the o lter <br />perimeter. It is proposed that these materials be placed in berms adequately <br />separated from one another to minimize contact during placement, maintenance <br />(seeding/irrigation) and removal during reclamation. The spacing anticipated <br />would allow for equipment"to work between the berms. <br />Topsoil placed in berms along the western limits of Phases A and B will be <br />vegetated to sustain appropriate organic viability and to prevent erosion of the <br />berms. It is proposed that this topsoil material be used to reclaim the product <br />stockpile and plant area at the cessation of operations. <br />10. A weed control plan is attached as R-10. <br />11. As discussed above no diversions aze planned as a result of dewatering. Further <br />comments of proposed water diversions and impoundment are discussed in item <br />13. <br />12. Pursuant to this comment, the applicant wishes to expand the maximum acre age <br />worked at any given time to twenty acres. Corrections to the relative exhibit> are <br />attached as R-2, R-6, R-13 and R-14. <br />13. The dewatering trenches are no longer proposed and have been omitted. <br />Explanation of the earthmoving mechanics involved in the reclamation of the <br />detention pond is described in the attached revised Exhibit E (R-13). <br />14. Because assurance ofpost-mining land use as residential cannot be provides at <br />this time, an alternative reclamation plan is attached as Exhibit E II-Alternative <br />Reclamation Plan (R-14). <br />I5. Timing of implementation of reclamation is discussed in R-13 and R-14 <br />respectively. <br />16. Slope gradients clarification is shown on attached revised Exhibit F, R-16 and <br />erosion and siltation controls are discussed in R-13 and R-14 respectively. <br />17. Further information on ratio of seed mixtures and recommended planting periods <br />are provided in R-13 and R-14 respectively. <br />18. See revised Exhibit E (R-13). <br />19. Fertilizer application within Phase E is described in R-14. <br />
