straightening project east of East Salt Creek, and the McClane to Munger Haul <br />Road corridor extending off the map to the south. <br />Please amend the Figure 3.1-1 topography, permanent channel <br />configurations, and revegetation community type delineations, to incorporate <br />proposed TR-16 plans and other updates as warranted. In addition, please <br />ensure that permanent stream channel design tables and specifications <br />(including Table 3.1-1) are properly amended to conform with postmine <br />topography and channel configuration modifications. Note that the area of <br />map coverage will need to be extended some distance to the south to include <br />the entirety of new disturbance proposed in TR-16. <br />45. References to map Figure 3.3-1 in the first paragraph on permit page 3-8 and the <br />first paragraph on page 3-10 would appear to be erroneous; the references should <br />apparently be to Figure 3.1-1. <br />Please correct the references as warranted. <br />46. Narrative regarding Mine Support Facilities backfilling and grading on page 3-12 <br />has not been amended to incorporate plan modifications associated with TR-16. <br />Please amend the narrative as appropriate. <br />Rule 2.05.4(2)(e Revegetation Plan <br />47. The various permanent revegetation seedmixes are listed in Section 3.4.2 and <br />3.4.3 of the application, but there is no reference to the temporary stabilization <br />seedmix (Table 3.4-2) in the Revegetation section of the application. <br />Please provide amended narrative referencing the stabilization seedmix and <br />stating that the exposed soils associated with all temporary disturbances <br />including ditches, berms, cover fill pile, topsoil pile, pond embankment, and <br />similar disturbances will be seeded with the stabilization seedmix in the first <br />appropriate season following initial construction or re-disturbance. <br />48. Narrative in Section 3.4.7 on page 3-15 regarding shrub and tree planting states <br />that disturbances [in] the shadscale and greasewood shrubland include the road, <br />office complex and the sediment pond area. In actuality, based on Figures 3.1-1 <br />and 4.5-1, disturbance in the shadscale community was limited to a small area of <br />south facing slopes in the lower portal facility area, and a segment of the upper <br />road. Most of the new disturbance associated with TR-16 would appear fall <br />within the greasewood community, as do lower segments of the haul road and the <br />existing facilities at the mouth of McClane Canyon and along East Salt Creek. <br />14
