i <br />f • • <br />- 2 - llecentber 7, 2000 <br />The buffer zones around the pit pemnetet wall 6e ns shown in the Reclamauon Pktn \[ap (}p feet on <br />the north, east, and south perimeters and 50 feet to the west) ar the completion of mining activities. As <br />mining operanons progress mm the nor[hwest corner of the site, a pit access ramp .vtll be installed (as <br />shown on the Reclamauon \Gtp). The ramp will he m>talled so that it does not rmpinge on the [opsorl <br />stockprled along the west-side of the site. The northeast area of the site ([he approximate 11 acres of the <br />initial processing area) and existent ramp would then be mined. .after muting the northe:st area, <br />reclamation acneities in this area would take place. Topsoil stockpiled m the area adjacent to the highway <br />wail] be moeed and placed on the finish grade surfaces oC the northeast corner. 7 he final mining acuemes <br />at dte site could proceed ro the west anal the toe of the west 3'1 slope rs reached. Final reclamation would <br />use dte remaining topsoil stockpJed abng the precious descnbed buffer zones around dte pu penmeter. <br />Res~se to original comment # S - It is assumed that the interior pit slopes will he vetoed muting faces with a <br />maxunum length of 1150 feet <br />The above assumpnou is correct. TLc maximum length of interior highw•alls will he no greater than <br />1150 feet. This length of highwall will extend along the ores[ and south edge of the initial processing area in <br />the northeast corner This interior lughwall length will be reduced ns mining proceeds until reaching the toe of <br />the i I slope. <br />Please contact me if you have any quesnons at (719) 852-27G0.
