Director
Listed below are adequacy review comments for the Lyle Smith Pit 112 (c) Permit Amendment Application, File
No. M-1977-053. The decision date for this permit application is January 18, 2011. The Division of Reclamation,
Mining, and Safety (Division) is required to make a decision by January 18, 2011. Therefore, your response to
the following adequacy review concerns should be submitted to the Division as soon as possible.
1. As required by Rule 1.6.5 (2), please submit the proof of publication of the public notice circulated in the local
newspaper and all owners of record of surface lands, and easement holders that are on the affected land and within
200 feet of the boundary of the affected land. Proof of notice may be return receipts of a Certified Mailing or by
proof of personal service.
Rule 6.4.5 Exhibit E- Reclamation Plan
2. The submitted Reclamation Plan states that a 4 inch layer of topsoil will be replaced for reclamation. The
Division requires a 6 inch layer of topsoil replacement, due to variations in thickness when spreading the material.

the site to fulfill this requirement. In the event that there is not adequate material, please explain.
3. The submitted reclamation plan states that no fertilizer and no mulch will be used when reseeding the site. Please
be aware that if this method proves unsuccessful for revegetation, the Division may require a technical revision to
the permit that includes these materials during revegetation.
