Re: 32.5 Road Gravel Pit, File No. M-2009,935, 112c Construction Materials Reclamation Permit Application
Package, Second Adequacy Review.
Dear Mr. Azcarraga:
The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has begun the review process for the above referenced 112 amended
application. The project appears to be a straight forward request to permit a construction materials operation. A
review of the application has revealed a few clarifications and issues that need to be addressed.
1. EXHIBIT D - Mining Plan (Rule 6.4.4): Please provide clarification for the following items:
In Exhibit D, under Typical Sequence of Operation, Item (2), it is stated that "The area to be
stripped topsoil area will be no larger than 4 acres in size at one time. The total volume of
stockpiled topsoil for the entire site includes approximately 24,000 cubic yards." Please
explain/clarify how a total volume of 24,000cubic yards will be stockpiled if only 4 acres is to
be disturbed at one time. Does the estimated 4 acres of disturbance include the operations roads
and process areas? Please clarify the maximum disturbance at any given time during the
operation.
• On page 10 in the application, paragraph 3, it is stated that "the settlement ponds will allow the
sediment to drop out of the water before it is discharged off site into the 33 Road ditch." Please
provide proof that the operator has permission to use the mentioned water conveying structure.
2. EXHIBIT E - Reclamation Plan (Rule 6.4.5): Please provide clarification for the following item:
• On page 13 in the reclamation plan, paragraph 3, it is stated that "Seeding operations should be
scheduled to occur in early April or late August." To aid in revegetative success, it is better to
conduct the fall seeding in late October/early November.
3. Special Provisions - 112 Reclamation Permit Application (Rule 1.6.5): Please provide clarification
for the following item:
• Proof of publication was submitted to the office on October 14, 2009. The date
indicated on the publication for final comment is December 14, 2009, which is the
decision date for the application. A 20 day extension of the decision date or
republication is required to accurately carry out the requirements of Rule 1.6.5.
