9. "The Reclamation Plan map indicates that phase 18 will be used for water storage <br />instead of an open water lake. Is the new plan to install a slurry wall around Phase <br />18? Please explain this discrepancy? If Phase 18 will remain an open water lake, <br />please update the reclamation plan map to display with land use instead of water <br />storage. " <br />Applicant's Response: <br />The Applicant's proposed post reclamation land use for Phase 18 is open water, not <br />water storage. Please see revised Exhibit F-Reclamation Plan Map (sheet 7 of 7). <br />10. "The topography of Cell No. 2 area is not portrayed too much different than the pre- <br />mining plan maps of this area. The topographic lines are poorly labeled and hard to <br />read, but the pit slopes appear to remain steep surrounding the "wetlands" and <br />"backfilled" areas. Also, either large mounds or depressions are indicated to be left <br />in place surrounding the "backf lied" area and "wetlands. " Given the post mine land <br />use for this area, these contour lines do not coincide with the reclamation plan. In <br />accordance with Rule 6. 4.6 the reclamation plan map must indicate the expected <br />physical appearance of the affected land, and the map must show the proposed <br />topography of the area with contour lines of sufficient detail to portray the direction <br />and rate of slope of all reclaimed lands. Please submit a reclamation map with the <br />appropriate contour lines indicating the expected physical appearance of the lands <br />surrounding the backfilled area and "wetlands" of Cell No. 2. " <br />Applicant's Response: <br />Please see attached revised Exhibit F-Reclamation Plan Map (sheet 7 of 7). <br />11. Similar to the above item, the proposed topography of the reclaimed expansion area <br />does not seem to coincide with the mining and reclamation plan... Please re-draw the <br />proposed contours of this area to coincide (with) the mining and reclamation plan. " <br />Applicant's Response: <br />Please see attached revised Exhibit D-Mining Plan and Exhibit F-Reclamation Plan <br />(sheets 6 and 7of 7). <br />12. "In regard to item #6 above, please highlight the areas where each of the proposed <br />seed mixtures will be used. " <br />Applicant's Response: <br />Please see attached revised Exhibit F-Reclamation Plan Map (sheet 7 of 7). <br />10/2/2009 4
