TASK 2 (Spread topsoil): The Division's estimate here is based on an average of 3 inches of topsoil being salvaged from the same 9.02 area, stockpiled in the same general area, the same push distance and the same equipment. TASK 3 (Rip roads, parking areas, stockpile locations): The applicant has indicated that the entire 9.99 acre permit area may be disturbed; so it has been assumed that approximately 0.97 acres of compacted area will have to be ripped in order to revegetate it successfully. This will be accomplished by use of the dozer and its ripper. TASK ~3 (Reveg): The Division's estimate utilizes [he seed mix and quantities supplied with the application together with Fertilizing and mulching of [he entire 9.99 disturbed permit area. TASK ~ (~lob/Demob): The Division's estimate is based on a DS dozer and 3-shank ripper being available in Pueblo, a distance of approximately 60 miles from the mine site. INDIRECT COSTS: These are standard with all Division estimates. EXHIBIT E (Rule 6.3.5 (2)): As mentioned earlier under the review of Exhibit C, there is no acceptable mining plan map provided with the application. A copy of the mining plan map applicable to [he Huerfano County Andreatta Pit (Permit M-91-006) which is north oC the proposed permit area has been submitted, but this does not satisfy any of the requirements of this Rule for [his application. A map identified as Exhibit E-2 was also submitted, but this map neither meets the requirements of the preceding Rules nor agrees with the legal description of the permit area included under Exhibit A. A Mining Plan map meeting the general requirements of Rule 6.2.1(2), and the specific requirements of Rules 6.3.3, and 6.3.5(2) must be submitted for this application. EXHIBIT E (Rule 6.3.5(3)(a)): The Reclamation Plan map supplied fails to meet the general requirements of Rule 6.2.1(2)(a), (b), (c) or (e). It also does not meet the requirements of this Rule in that it fails to show the ~ gradient of all reclaimed slopes sufficient to describe post mine topography. The applicant must supply a Reclamation Plan Map that meets the applicable requirements of Rules 6.2.1 and 6.3.5(a) as indicated above. EXHIBCT F (Rule 6.3.6): As a result of the applicant's proposal [o retain all storm water on site, there may J be a water rights issue involved. The applicant, however, does not indicate any intention to contact the Office DY of the State Engineer in regard to this possibility. The applicant should commit to contact the Office of the Stale Engineer in regard to water rights issues involved if storm water is retained on site. EXHIBIT L (Rule 6.3.12): The Division will accept the Exhibit provided as evidence that both the Andreattas and Eileen Zubal were notified of the application as required by Rules l.ti.2 (e)(i) and (ii). The Division will also accept the Exhibit provided as an agreement to compensate Ms. Zubal for any damage to the fence, apparently hers, separating the Zubal and Andreatta properties. The Division, however, cannot accept the Exhibit provided as evidence that the fence separating the proposed permit area from the Q~ Huerfano Pit to the north is not within 200 feet of the proposed affected area and that the owner of this fence (presumably [he Andreattas) will assume responsibility for [he maintenance of that fence as claimed under Exhibit B. Consequently, Exhibit L, as submitted, does no[ completely meet [he requirements of this Rule The applicant must fully meet the requirements of Rule 6.3.12 and either provide a notarized agreement with [he owner of the fence between the proposed permit area and the Huerfano County pi[ [ha[ ~ ~ the landowner will not hold the applicant responsible for any damage [o that fence or a notarized agreement between [he owner of the fence and [he applicant that the applicant will provide compensation for any . ~ damage to the structure. Alternatively, the applicant may provide an appropriate engineering evaluation [hat demonstrates that [his structure will not be damaged by activities occurring at [he mining operation, as was claimed under Exhibit B.
