APPLICATION FORM <br />Page 8 - Signature Page: This page must be signed and sealed by the county clerk and <br />resubmitted. <br />6.2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS OF EXHIBITS <br />Exhibits elements are adequate as submitted. <br />6.4 SPECIFIC EXHIBIT REQUIREMENTS -112 RECLAMATION <br />OPERATIONS <br />6.4.1 EXHIBIT A - Legal Description <br />This section is adequate as submitted. <br />6.4.2 EXHIBIT B - Index Map <br />This section is adequate as submitted. <br />6.4.3 EXHIBIT C - Pre-mining and Mining Plan Maps <br />This section is adequate as submitted. <br />6.4.4 EXHIBIT D - Mining Plan <br />Please elaborate on how the intermittent drainage pathway will be preserved or re-routed <br />to allow unimpeded flow through the site during heavy precipitation events. It would <br />appear that this channel effectively "dead-ends" into the pit at this time (which itself <br />appears to be mined as a closed basin of up to 15-20 feet deep or more). <br />The Division recommends that topsoil stockpiles be seeded and stabilized as soon as <br />possible if that material will be set aside for reclamation, and preferably no longer than 6 <br />months. <br />Please provide a weed control plan that will be implemented to prevent the establishment <br />and spread of noxious weeds on site during mining and reclamation activities. <br />6.4.5 EXHIBIT E - Reclamation Plan <br />The final post-mining land use as stated in the application is cropland, but no mention is <br />made as to the final depth of topsoil to be replaced across the site - this information will <br />need to be provided. Will the contours as depicted be too steep to allow typical farming <br />equipment to easily traverse the area if the area is returned to use as cropland?
