DEFICIENCY NOTICE CMLRB 112 Permit Application <br />Agile Slone Systems, Inc. <br />revegetate the benches. Please also consider using soil materials borrowed from <br />another location on the ranch property. However, such a location would have to <br />be added to the permit. <br />A complex plan of highwall rubble-ization and varying levels of revegetation <br />bas been developed as a way to offer Minerals and Geology highwall habitat <br />for birds and other wildlife and break up the highwall line effect remaining <br />is the previous proposal. This is presented in Exhibit E. Revegetation will <br />take place at some level greater than the current estimate of 25 - 33% of <br />wildlife habitat in the quarry area. At least the same wildlife habitat will be <br />reinstated upon final reclamation. However, the applicant has committed to <br />test an admixture of fines and topsoil as a growth medium. If successful, 40 - <br />50% or more of the benches and quarry floor will be reclaimed at final <br />reclamation dependent upon fines and topsoil availability. <br />4. If you decide to resubmit your mining plan to show a phased mining operation as <br />you have indicated in discussions, provide a plan or schedule (see Rule <br />6.4.5(2)(e)) indicating how and when reclamation will be implemented, tied to <br />completion of different stages or phases of the operation as described in section <br />6.4.4(1)(e) of the construction materials regulations. <br />A plan/schedule to reclaim the various phases is included in Exhibits D and <br />E. <br />S. You have stated that "Concurrent reclamation of disturbed azeas will be <br />implemented to the extent possible." Describe in detail your plan for concurrent <br />reclamation. Provide enough information that it will be useful in determining <br />your reclamation bond requirement for various stages or phases of your mining <br />operation. <br />The above noted plan and Exhibit L identify the specific acreage impact by <br />area affected. <br />6. Provide your plan to stabilize the quarry highwalls. <br />The plan to stabilize the quarry highwalls includes a final slope of 0.25:1, <br />blocked entrances to each beach and intermittent rubble-fzation of highwalls. <br />See Exhibits D, E and L for additional discussions. <br />7. Your section 1.2 of Exhibit E states that "occasionally, occurrences of overburden <br />will be removed from some of the gravel baz azeas to be mined." Please provide <br />15 <br />
