Rule 6.2.1(2) requires that maps be signed by a registered land surveyor, professional engineer, or other qualified person. The maps submitted to the Division were not signed. Please resubmit a signed copy of the maps. We have enclosed signed maps. 3. The Division received comments from the NRCS, the Office of the State Engineer, the Army Corps of Engineers and Kerr-McGee Rocky Mountain Corporation regarding the proposed application. The letters are attached. Please address the comments noted in the letters, and make any changes the application as necessary. Referral Comments NRCS a. The final reservoir slopes will be no steeper than 3:1. Topsoil stockpiled for reclamation will be segregated from other spoil. Because the phases are relatively small and there is limited room for stockpiles, they will be graded with final slopes no steeper than 2.5:1 to allow for maintenance. Stockpiles that are undisturbed for more than 45 days will be seeded as weather permits to protect them. Per NRCS' recommendation, Hall-Irwin will use Luna pubescent wheatgrass and/or Amur intermediate wheatgrass at a rate of 15 total pounds PLS per acre to seed the stockpiles. We already have many of the MRCS' recommendations incorporated on the Reclamation Plan (refer to the notes). We have revised the reclamation seed mix per NRCS' request.
