Mr. Jim Stover, P.E. July 16, 2008 Page 6 to incorporate proposed TR-16 plans and other updates as warranted, and to ensure that permanent stream channel design tables and specifications (including Table 3.1-1) are properly amended to conform with postmine topography and channel configuration modifications. The map and tables have been updated. It is unclear why the segment of the old McClane to Munger haul road, which is no longer a component of the approved plan, is still denoted on the map by the revegetated Greasewood Shrubland designation, extending from the reclaimed sediment pond/stockpile area to the south, off the map projection. Please address the question regarding the old McClane to Munger Road. 45. Item Resolved. 46. Item Resolved. Rule 2.05.4(2)(e) Revegetation Plan 47. The Division requested amended narrative referencing the stabilization seedmix and stating that the exposed soils associated with all temporary disturbances including ditches, berms, cover fill pile, topsoil pile, pond embankment, and similar disturbances will be seeded with the stabilization seedmix in the first appropriate season following initial construction or re-disturbance. The operator responded that temporary seeding is addressed in Section 2.3.4, page 2-39. The cited section addresses topsoil stockpile stabilization and properly references Table 3.4-2 "Stabilization (Temporary) Seed Mix", but does not address stabilization seeding of the other types of interim disturbances mentioned in the original request. Also, we note that topsoil stockpile stabilization seeding is also addressed on amended page 3-7 (Section 3.2), but the mix listed is incorrect, as it lacks slender wheatgrass, which is included in the Table 3.4-2 seed mix. Please amend the appropriate section of the narrative to address interim stabilization seeding of the various types of temporary disturbances listed in the Division's original request. Also, please amend the seedmix reference on page 3-7 to be consistent with the Table 3.4-2 seed mix. 48. Item Resolved. 49. The Division requested narrative clarification regarding reclamation fencing locations and specifications, with fence locations to be depicted on Exhibit 3.1-1. The operator included a narrative response with a generalized description of the reclaimed area fencing, but the permit text on page 3-16 was not amended as requested and the fencing locations were not depicted on the amended Figure 3.1- 1 as requested.
