move the pit so it does not encroach on the 200 foot area of the county roadway. The west boundary <br />will move slightly west to keep the pit at a total area of 9.9 acres <br />6.3.3 EXHIBIT C - Mining Plan <br />Section b) You have indicated that only sic inches of topsoil will be salvaged and stockpiled for site <br />reclamation, however the information in Exhibit B indicates that the upper nine inches of material would <br />make good growth medium. The Division recommends that the top nine inches of material at the site <br />be removed, stockpiled and maintained for use in reclamation. This will insure that adequate material is <br />available for topsoil replacement on slope faces and across the site to a depth that will facilitate <br />revegetation and speed the final reclamation and release of the site. <br />Nine inches of existing material will be stockpiled and maintained for use in reclamation, as <br />recommended by the Division.. <br />Section c) You has not indicated the thickness of the overburden between the topsoil to be <br />salvaged and the material to be mined, or where this material will be stockpiled. Please address this <br />issue in the narrative and on the mine plan map. If this material will be sold as product please indicate <br />this in the mining plan. Also, how will it be disposed of once mining is completed: (i.e., used as backfill by <br />placing against the remaining slopes prior to topsoil placement, selling as a secondary products etc.)? <br />The overburden thickness varies. In some areas, it may be as much as 3-4' deep. This material will also <br />be sold as product There is no plan to stockpile the overburden. <br />Section Q This would be an excellent place to describe the relationship, if any, between this <br />proposed operation and the existing Ill permit are (M-2004-0141 immediately adjacent to the south of <br />this permit. Most of the figures submitted with this application indicate some degree of overlap with <br />this existing permit, or are vague about the boundaries of these features. This issue will need to be <br />clarified in this application and included figures and also well marked on the ground to prevent any <br />future misundi'M-vjndin s. <br />The intent would be that there is no overlapping. The new Carper Pit #2 is intended to start at the north <br />end of the existing pit M-2004-014. The point at which they came together <br />Section m) If any processing; of materials or products is deemed necessary at the site in the future, <br />it will neM- to lxa approved through a Technical Revision to the permit submitted to DRMS before it is <br />imp1t!mented. <br />The Division will be given a Technical Revision if processing is going to occur at the site. <br />6.3.4 EXHIBIT D - Reclamation Plan <br />Section a) Please address how remaining overburden, if any, will be handled for the site. <br />Overburden will be marketed as a secondary product from the pit We do not anticipate any excess <br />overburden at the site. <br />2
