Your concerns are addressed below and follow the <br />order presented in your letter. Also, please be aware that the Applicant wishes to <br />withdraw the option to mine the 7-acre area in the northwest corner of the property. <br />Revised and signed maps depicting this change have been attached. The discussions <br />below reflect this change where applicable. <br />1. The proof of mailings for the notifications can be found in the attached envelope <br />labeled "Proof of Mailings". <br />2. The revised maps have been signed by Mr. Paul T. Banks, a professional <br />geologist and principal of Banks and Gesso, LLC. <br />3. The Applicant will follow the Hazardous Waste Management Plan, which has <br />been prepared for this site and is attached for your review. <br />4. It is our understanding that Rule 6.3.3(g) applies only to DMG 110 and 111 <br />permits and that this information is not required for DMG Regular 112 permits. If <br />our understanding is incorrect, please let me know so that we can properly <br />address this concern. In general, only one internal haul road will be of a semi- <br />permanent nature. That haul road will be the one used for trucks entering and <br />exiting the plant area. The road is identified on Exhibit C-3 Mine Plan Map. It will <br />be approximately 20 feet in width and will be constructed of compacted dirt and, <br />where necessary, possibly crush and run gravel. Per county requirements, the <br />access road will also be paved for a distance of approximately 200' from the site <br />entrance towards the processing area and scale house. All other internal haul <br />roads will be temporary and will be relocated and mined through as conditions <br />merit. <br />5. Topsoil will be stockpiled separately from overburden. Exhibit C-3 Mine Plan <br />Map indicates the locations of the separate stockpiles. Much of the topsoil will be <br />"stockpiled" in temporary screening berms located around mine phase <br />boundaries. Overburden will be stockpiled in the northwestern corner of the <br />property until it can later be used in reclamation efforts. <br />
