6.3.2 EXHIBIT B -Site Description The proposed pre-mining and post-mining land use that was indicated on page fow of the application is pastweland. Amore accwate land use would probably be rangeland. Both uses incorporate grazing in their respective management plan. However, pastweland typically implies a higher degree of management including seeding with improved forage varieties, fertilizing, irrigation, haying, etc. Rangeland typically implies more passive management with controlled grazing being the primary management tool. It's not really a big issue, it just seems that rangeland more accwately describes the current and futwe use and the reclamation requirements for rangeland aze a bit less stringent. 6.3.3 EXHIBIT C -Mining Plan You have indicated there will be no waste rock disposal, however, from my recent inspection of the site, it does appeaz there is a considerable amount of waste rock or non- marketable rock generated. Please identify on the mine plan map where this material will be stored during mining. Also, how will it be disposed of once mining is completed (ie: used as backfill by placing against the highwall prior to topsoiling, selling as a secondary product, etc.)? 6.3.4 EXHIBIT D -Reclamation Plan Per the comments under Exhibit C about the potential to generate waste rock, please clarify how this material will be used during reclamation. Also, weed control methods aze required to be used for all noxious weeds on site. Even though no noxious weeds were observed at this site, a generic plan to control all noxious weeds should be included in all permit applications. If a specific noxious weed species appears in the future, the plan may need to be modified to deal with that particulaz species at that time. The reclamation costs are still under review at this time. Your estimate appeazs to be well prepazed, however, the division is required to complete a sepazate bond estimate as well. Once the question about the waste rock is clarified, this will be completed. 6.3.5 EXHIBIT E -Map The maps included in the Carrizo Stone North Quarry are actually for the south quarry (M-2006-024). Please provide a mine plan map and a reclamation plan map for the north quarry prepazed in accordance with Rule 6.2.1(2). If the road to this site was not pre- existing or will be substantially upgraded as the result of this mine, it must be included in the overall affected azea (approximately %z-1 acre). However, if the road was pre-existing it does not need to be included and in either case, the road may remain after mining if it compliments the post-mining land use.
