information is available from the ]ocal NRCS office or can be extracted from <br />a soils survey of the area where the proposed site is located. <br />(3) Item C under this section states there are no streams or creeks in the area of <br />the proposed operation, however, review of the application maps cleazly <br />identify a portion of Bonny Creek Hooting through the northwest part of the <br />proposed permit azea. Please revise this section to address this discrepancy <br />and comply with Rule 6.3.2(c). This will be discussed further under Exhibits <br />C&D. <br />6.3.3 EXHIBIT C -Mining Plan <br />(4) Please provide a seed mix for use on topsoil stockpiles that will not be <br />replaced immediately. Also, once sufficient information is submitted to <br />determine the estimated depth of topsoil available for reclamation, that depth <br />will need to be included under this section. <br />(5) As discussed under Exhibit B, Bonny Creek runs through the permit area. <br />What steps will be taken to minimize disturbance to the creek? Specifically, <br />will mining occur in the active channel and if so how will the stream gradient <br />be replaced once mining is completed? Also, what steps will be taken to <br />control sediment and/or storm water coming off of the site and possibly <br />entering into the creek? <br />(6) Please clarify iit writing and on the map the dimension and extent of the <br />proposed excavation and the location of any overburden or product stockpiles. <br />6.3.4 EXHIBIT D -Reclamation Plan <br />(7) How much topsoil will be salvaged and replaced (see #2)? <br />(8) The application states there are no ponds, streams or buildings which are <br />existing or will exist after reclamation, however, as previously discussed <br />Bonny Creek runs through the proposed permit area. How will the site be <br />reclaimed so this stretch of creek fits into the proposed post-mining <br />topography and remains functional with respect to properly conveying surface <br />water safely through this area? <br />6.3.5 EXHIBIT E -Map <br />(9) There aze numerous maps included with the application. All maps, with the <br />exception of the index map, must conform to the following criteria: <br />
