The following comments are submitted <br />in accordance with the memorandum. <br />The plan is not complete as required by 43 CPR 3809. The following additional <br />information will need to be submitted to facilitate our processing. <br />1. The disturbance area is not adequately outlined. The reclamation map <br />depicts approximately 50 reclaimed acres, Exhibit H indicates 20 acres <br />and the 112 permit application indicates 40 acres. This needs to be <br />clarified. <br />2. Exhibit A depicts the wrong legal description. The claim includes the <br />SE'~SW'~, not the SEA and SW's. <br />3. Exhibit D describes an overburden area, but no location is given; the <br />mining area is not depicted on any maps; a description of a marketable <br />limestone storage area is included, but no maps; and no maps are <br />available for the disturbed area. Plans for stabilization of these <br />areas during mining are also not included. <br />4. Exhibit E (Reclamation Plan) indicates 2:1 slopes, while Exhibit E <br />(Rule 6 compliance) indicates 1:1 and 80' slopes. The reclamation map <br />depicts something entirely different. This needs to be clarified. <br />5. Exhi,.i[ E (Reclamation Plan) outlines a specific seed mix, while <br />Exhibit E S.A. discusses test plots, etc. This is unclear. <br />6. Exhibit H discusses sedimentation control, but it is not described or <br />depicted on any maps. Specific sedimentation control will be necessary <br />to avoid high sediment levels in downstream drainages. A specific <br />system and design must be provided. <br />7. We do not know the CMLRB permit area and must be provided this <br />information to assess any specific responsibilities the BLM has for <br />operations (access roads, etc.) outside your permit area. <br />
