6. Rule 6.4.3(d) requires that the map/s show the total area to be involved in the operation, including the area to be mined and the area of affected lands. Please label the proposed "Permit Boundary" and if any land within the permit boundary is to be left undisturbed, delineate the land to be affected with an "Affected Land" boundary. If all of the land in the permit area is to be affected label the outer boundary "PermitlAffected Land Boundazy." Please show on the mining plan map the location of the "orderly berm of topsoil" mentioned in Exhibit D. Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan 8. In accordance with Rule 6.4.5(1) and Rule 3.1, provide your seeding plans, including a seed mix appropriate for the final land use. The Division suggests that you obtain assistance from the Bent County Soil Conservation District and USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service. Your plans should include any planned fertilization and mulching. Your reclamation plan indicates that you will use natural fines to backfill mined slopes to 3h : lv grades. Your mining plan states that there will be no overburden other than topsoil salvaged. Will the fines be screened out of the pit run gravel and will there be enough for the planned backfill? If not, please explain how the 3h : lv pit slopes will be constructed. 10. You have stated that seeding of stockpiles will be implemented if deemed necessary. Please state the conditions under which you would consider seeding the topsoil stockpiles necessary and state the seed mix that would be used to seed the piles. Exhibit F -Reclamation Plan Map 11. In accordance with Rule 6.4.6(a), provide on your map the expected physical appearance of the affected land area. Show the proposed topography with contour lines of sufficient detail to portray the direction and rate of slope. Will the north south road be left in place, as indicated on the reclamation plan map, or will it be mined out and replaced on the pit floor and the side slopes? Indicate the reclamation status of the road with contour lines on the map.
