Adequacy Review #2 <br />Question 1 Answer: The northwest corner of the 112 was staked incorrectly by <br />ECA. After installing correctly, the permit area is 65 acres and the road is 2 acres <br />for a grand total of 67 acres. <br />2.) For both options, the applicant will need to supply updated Exhibit C maps <br />accounting for the haul road and the modified permit boundary and acreage. The maps <br />submitted do not show the entire length and location of the improved haul road. Also, the <br />scale and scale house will need to be indicated on the Exhibit C Maps. <br />A: Please see attached revised map. <br />3.) Please provide the dimensions of the improved haul road. <br />A: The road is 2,600 feet by 33 feet. <br />4.) The applicant indicates they plan to excavate adjacent to the northern permit <br />boundary and reclaim a 3:1 slope from the northern permit boundary with a southern <br />aspect. However, the northern permit boundary is a located at the base of the plateau. <br />The applicant has indicated they do not intend on disturbing the rim and side slope of the <br />plateau. So, the mining and reclamation plan map will need to be updated to portray the <br />actual mining area. Please depict actual locations of the planned excavation areas. <br />A: Please see attached revised map. <br />5.) The Reclamation plan will need to be updated to discuss how the road will be <br />reclaimed. Will the entire length of the road remain in place? If it is to be left in place, it <br />will need to be depicted on the Exhibit F map. If only portions of the road are to be left <br />in place, those portions will need to be depicted on the Exhibit F map. If all or portions <br />of the road are to be left in place the applicant will need to submit a notarized statement <br />from the landowner indicating they approve leaving the road in place. If portions of the <br />haul road will be reclaimed back to rangeland, please discuss what steps will be taken to <br />do so. <br />A: Please see attached letter from land owner. <br />6.) Please remove the "Mined Area - 111 Permit" depiction on the Exhibit F map. This <br />area will need to be reclaimed in accordance with the approved reclamation plan. <br />A: Please see attached revised map. <br />7.) Based on the applicants answer to item #5 above, please depict the road appropriately <br />on the reclamation plan map.
