Exhibit B, Site Description: The asphalt and concrete plant will not be effected by the mining as this will take place to the south of the plants. The plants will remain onsite throughout the mining, as well as, after mining is complete. The mined area will be returned to its pre-mining grade and will be used for stockpile area. Exhibit C, Mining Plan: The mining plan has been rewritten in accordance with the rule. It has been included with the new exhibits. IV. Exhibit D, Reclamation Plan: The reclamation plan has been rewritten in accordance with the rule. It has been included with the new exhibits. V. Exhibit F, List of other permits and licenses required: All exhibits have been labeled, as well as, the additional permits that are included in Exhibit F. This information should cover all of your concerns as stated in the adequacy letter. As well, the letter of receipt for the application package mentions that the operator must contact the Department of Health, water quality control division regarding stormwater permits. We have done so on a couple of occasions in the past. I have attached their 1996 response that states that a stormwater discharge permit is not required for the site as there is no discharge from the site. The same discussion was had in 2006. Again, it was determined that the permit is not necessary as all stormwater is detained on the site and allowed to percolate. 473-3100 • Fax 473-31
