DEFICIENCY NOTICE Ch1LRB I12 Permit Application <br />Agilc Stone Systems, Inc. <br />• Supplementary Data binder. Also see Exhibit D for several discussions. <br />EXHIBIT E -Reclamation Plan <br />Your Pre-Mining Plan Map (which should be labeled Pre-Mining/Mining Plan <br />Map) indicates that overburden materials and topsoil will be stored in the same <br />stockpiles. Please show the locations of segregated overburden and topsoil <br />stockpiles. <br />There will be no overburden stockpiles. The one temporary topsoil stockpile <br />is shown. <br />2. It was noted during the pre-operation inspection that blue grama grass is the <br />predominant specie of grass, especially in the gravel extraction areas. Please <br />incorporate this grass as a major component of the final revegetation seed mix. <br />The blue grams grass has been incorporated into the final revegetation seed <br />mix. <br />• 3. Your reclamation plan states that the sandstone and granite quarries will be left as <br />mined, and that no topsoiling or revegetation of the benches will be done. The <br />Division of Wildlife (DOW) has encouraged our Division to review this portion <br />of the reclamation plan with you to determine the feasibility of revegetating the <br />benches for wildlife benefit. The DMG requests that you commit to salvaging all <br />topsoil and overburden economically feasible to salvage in the quarry areas for <br />use in reclaiming the benches, to the degree possible. Your Exhibit I -Soils <br />Information 2.2 and 2.3 indicate that there is some salvageable soil on 25-33% of <br />these extraction areas. We also request that you consider placing waste rock such <br />as crusher fines on the benches mixed with whatever soil and overburden that is <br />available to create the best possible plant growth medium. We also request that <br />you work with Chris Kloster of the DOW to develop a revegetation seed mix and <br />planting plan to establish vegetation on the benches beneficial to wildlife. These <br />species should be selected from your Table !-1. Mr. Kloster's phone number is <br />(719) 561-4909. <br />The Division is awaze of the problem of the lack of soil overburden to salvage, <br />and the difficulty of salvaging it. Please feel free to limit this type of reclamation <br />to those areas you feel you maybe able to provide a plant growth medium. The <br />Division will take the lack of materials and difficulty into consideration when <br />determining compliance with reclamation standards and bond release. It would be <br />. much more responsible on your part and the Divisions if some attempt is made to <br />14 <br />
