-2- <br />have to the proposed operation. <br />• The General Mine Plan states that there are three mine phases. However the mine plan map <br />does not show where the phases are located and what the phase size or configurations are. <br />Please provide a revised mine plan map that identifies the proposed mine phases and their <br />configurations. <br />• Per Rule 3.1.9, where it is necessary to remove overburden in order to mine the construction <br />material, topsoil shall be removed and segregated from other spoil. Please clarify what methods <br />will be used to segregate the topsoil from the overburden and where the overburden will be <br />stored until it is used for reclamation. <br />4. EXHIBIT E - Reclamation Plan (Rule 6.4.5): Please provide clarification for the following items: <br />• Specify at what point in the mining plan and to what depth(s) overburden will be <br />replaced in relation to ongoing extraction. <br />Specify the reclamation treatment of ditches, sediment control facilities, buildings and <br />other features specified in your mine plan but not previously addressed in the <br />Reclamation Plan narrative. These features must be shown on Exhibit F - Map. This <br />should describe the measures taken to minimize disturbance to the hydrologic balance, <br />prevent off-site damage, and provide for a stable configuration consistent with the <br />proposed future land use. <br />• Specify an estimate of the periods of time which will be required for the various stages <br />or phases of reclamation to be carried out. <br />5. EXHIBIT F - Reclamation Map (Rule 6.4.6): Please provide a revised map(s) that includes <br />clarification for the following items: <br />• Show the configuration of the three proposed mine phases and clearly label the permit <br />boundary. <br />• State the average thickness of replaced overburden by reclamation area or phase; and <br />• State the average thickness of replaced topsoil by reclamation area or phase. <br />• All maps must be prepared and signed and dated by a registered land surveyor, <br />professional engineer, or other qualified person. <br />6. EXHIBIT G - Water Information (Rule 6.4.7): Please provide clarification for the following items: <br />Please locate on the map (in Exhibit Q tributary water courses, wells, springs, stock <br />water ponds, reservoirs, and ditches on the affected land and on adjacent lands where <br />such structures may be affected by the proposed mining operations.
