M-95-005/Adequacy 4/4/95 page 3 medium should be salvaged for later use in reclamation. State how stockpiles of topsoil will be protected during mining, against erosion, weeds, etc. Please include details of your revegetation plan. If you plan to spray hydroseed, include rates of mulch in the spray treatment. If it includes any fertilizer, state what and how much. Your seed mix shows rates for each grass species, but none for the shrub species. Your other permit's reclamation plan includes the same mix, and you specified what the shrub seed rates were. Please state what that should be for this permit. EXHIBIT F - RECLAMATION PLAN MAP Please follow the description of the requirements of the reclamation plan map, as shown in the Rules. This map must show the post-mining, reclaimed appearance of the site. Topographic contour lines will depict the slopes, valleys, and level areas, etc. Include all features that will remain. The cross-section submitted as Exhibit F is not sufficient. It does not, in fact, even pertain to this site, but was prepared for permit M-90-145, where there is to be a different post-mining pit configuration remaining. EXHIBIT G - WATER INFORMATION The pond at the southwest corner of the permit will receive most, if not all, drainage from the permit area during mining. The pond is evidently to remain after mining. Information you submitted shows that it is of sufficient size to handle the calculated 10- year event. However, post-mining landform and surface characteristics are different, and a permanent structure must have sufficient capacity for a 100-year event. Please provide additional information to clarify your calculations, or describe how the pond or dam will be modified. I gave you a copy of the Division of Water Resources' assessment of your application. EXHIBIT L - RECLAMATION COSTS You included an estimate of $27,676. Based on the application materials already submitted and on your future responses, plus observations made onsite, I will calculate an amount I feel is adequate. Information you can supply for Exhibits D and E will influence the final figures. I am looking for number of disturbed acres {categorized as major, moderate and minor disturbance) at the point of maximum disturbance. Details regarding material volumes, slope grades, push distances, and types of equipment will help reduce the assumptions I must make during bond calculations. Due to the dryness of the site, I will probably include the cost of reseeding a percentage of original seedings, for seeding failures. The figures will be forwarded to you during the review period, for your inspection and comment. Remember that the figures will represent what it would cost the State to contract the reclamation and oversee it.
