Mike Boulay -7- August 19, 2008 <br />Rule 2.05.4(2)tc?P1a_n for Backfillinq and Gradin <br />43(a). Item Resolved. <br />44. DRMS: The Division requested the operator to amend the Figure 3.1-1 <br />topography, permanent channel configurations, and revegetation community type <br />delineations, to incorporate proposed TR-16 plans and other updates as <br />warranted, ensure that permanent stream channel design tables and <br />specifications (including Table 3.1-1) are properly amended to conform with <br />postmine topography and channel configuration modifications. The map and <br />tables have been updated. It is unclear why the segment of the old McClane to <br />Munger haul road, which is no longer a component of the approved plan, is still <br />denoted on the map by the revegetated Greasewood Shrubland designation, <br />extending from the reclaimed sediment pond/stockpile area to the south, off the <br />map projection. <br />Please address the question regarding the old McClane to Munger Road. <br />CAM: The regevetated Greasewood Shrubland designation for the old McClane <br />to Munger road has been removed from Figure 3.1-1. There is still a portion of <br />the road remaining that provides access to GW-9 that will be reclaimed. The <br />road shown on the maps (Figures 2.2-2 & 2.2-3) is an existing two track road. <br />45. Item Resolved. <br />46. Item Resolved. <br />Rule 2.05.4(2)(e) Revegetation Plan <br />47. DRMS: The Division requested amended narrative referencing the <br />stabilization seedmix and stating that the exposed soils associated with all <br />temporary disturbances including ditches, berms, cover fill pile, topsoil pile, pond <br />embankment, and similar disturbances will be seeded with the stabilization <br />seedmix in the first appropriate season following initial construction or re- <br />disturbance. The operator responded that temporary seeding is addressed in <br />Section 2.3.4, page 2-39. The cited section addresses topsoil stockpile <br />stabilization and properly references Table 3.4-2 "Stabilization (Temporary) Seed <br />Mix", but does not address stabilization seeding of the other types of interim <br />disturbances mentioned in the original request. Also, we note that topsoil <br />stockpile stabilization seeding is also addressed on amended page 3-7 (Section <br />3.2), but the mix listed is incorrect, as it lacks slender wheatgrass, which is <br />included in the Table 3.4-2 seed mix. <br />Please amend the appropriate section of the narrative to address interim <br />stabilization seeding of the various types of temporary disturbances listed
