67B. This item requested the refinement of Map 2.04.9 -2 to accurately depict the limits of the active <br />pit, backfill progress (partial and to- grade) and topsoil distribution as they existed in February <br />2008. The map has been revised somewhat, but the symbols chosen are very similar to one <br />another. Please select map symbols that allow the different phases of operation to be readily <br />discerned. <br />The hatches in the different areas shown on Map 2.04.9 -2 have been changed to be more <br />distinct. <br />68 -74. Resolved. <br />74a. Contour labels on Map 2.05.4 -5 are now presented in larger font. Resolved. <br />Section 2 — Additional Items from Informal Conference <br />75. Resolved. <br />76. Resolved. <br />76A. This Item pertains to amended Spoil and Soil Suitability Tables 2.05.4(2)(d) -lA and (d) -IB, <br />which comprise only one table in the currently approved permit. The Division requested <br />separation of the table into two tables (as provided in the response), and recommended a number <br />of specific revisions. The tables were amended in response to the Division's recommendations, <br />although there were a number of disparities. We have the following comments and requests: <br />a. On Table IA and 1 B, all of the threshold levels with the exception of pH are listed so as to <br />identify "unsuitability" threshold levels for particular parameters. For pH the "Acceptable <br />Range" is presented instead. Please list the "unsuitability" levels for pH, as specified in the <br />Division version of the table, to be consistent with the remaining parameter listings, and <br />delete footnote #4. <br />The pH values have been reverted from "Acceptable Range" to showing the <br />unsuitability thresholds (ex. <4.5 & >8.1). <br />b. On Table I A and 1 B, the lower threshold for pH was changed from 6.1 to 4.5, with no <br />explanation or justification. Please provide an explanation (e.g. NRCS definition) for the <br />changed threshold. <br />The lower threshold has been returned to 6.1 <br />c. There are problems regarding >/< symbols for certain parameters and soil zone categories on <br />Table IA. For EC, Threshold Level Column 1 lacks > in front of 4, Columns 2 and 3 lack > <br />symbol in front of 6 and the < symbol in front of 5 should be a> symbol. Column 4 lacks a <br />> symbol in front of 8. For Boron, Columns 3 and 4 lack a> symbol in front of 5. <br />Symbols corrected in Table IA. <br />d. The Table I footnote for Zones 1 &2 is incorrectly worded. The correct wording is <br />"...areas where Lift A Topsoil or Mixed Lift Topsoil is placed directly on Bench 1 Subsoil <br />Substitute (no Lift B Topsoil is present) ". <br />The wording in the Zones 1 &2 footnote for Table IA has been corrected as requested. <br />
