Maps <br />Are maps adequate regarding the following: <br />(a) Presented at the scale specified in 6.2.1(2)? <br />In their submittal of July 8, 2002, GCC Rio Grande, Inc. submitted new maps <br />in response to the Division of Minerals and Geology (DMG) adequacy <br />comments. These maps are presented at the scale specified in 6.2.1(2), and are <br />adequate to represent the areas to be affected. <br />(b) Include adjacent landowners as required in 6.4.3(a)? <br />The applicant has shown the landowners on separate pages that are keyed <br />numerically to the maps. This allows all of the information required for each <br />landowner to be presented even if the portion of land is too small to contain the <br />information. This method of showing the adjacent landowners is sufficient to <br />comply with the requirements of 6.43(a). <br />(c) Delineate topsoil stockpile locations and development contours on the mining <br />plan map? (3.1.9(3)) <br />The maps submitted with the applicant's reply to the DMG adequacy letter <br />identify locations of topsoil, subsoil and fill. For most of the project life, the <br />applicant plans to live handle the reclamation materials, stripping topsoil from <br />an area and placing it on another area that is ready for topsoil. The same <br />handling procedure applies to the subsoil and fill material. This plan is in <br />compliance with Rule 3.1.9(3). <br />(d) Provide vegetation detail, location of plant site and post mine topography on <br />reclamation plan map? (6.4.6(a)) <br />The applicant has provided the vegetation detail in Exhibit J and Appendix G of <br />their submittal of July 8, 2002, the location of the plant site and post mine <br />topography on the reclamation plan map, Exhibits D-3 and F-1. These <br />submittals comply with the requirements of Rule 6.4.6(a). <br />Timing of mining and reclamation processes <br />2. Has the operator provided an approximate timetable to describe the mining <br />operation for the purpose of establishing the relationship between mining and <br />reclamation during the different phases of the operation?
