C- 2010 -089 PAR Part 1 <br />New Horizon North Mine <br />23- Dec -2010 <br />Page 17 of 21 <br />water and backfill seepage water are accounted for in the hydrology designs for pond NHN- <br />001. <br />24. It does not appear that subwatershed SW -3C is shown on Map 2.05.3(3) -l. Please revise <br />Map 2.05.3(3) -1 accordingly. <br />25. On Map 2.05.3(3) -1, the subwatershed for the topsoil stockpile area is mislabeled as SW1- <br />A. Please revise Map 2.05.3(3) -1 so that the label reads SW -TS. <br />2.05.3 (5) — Topsoil <br />This section will be incorporated into Part 2 of the Division's PAR. <br />2.05.3 (6) — Overburden <br />This section will be incorporated into Part 2 of the Division's PAR. <br />2.05.4 — Reclamation Plan <br />2.05.4(2Z(a) Reclamation timetable <br />1. A general description of the reclamation timetable has been provided by WFC, with <br />references made to other subsections of 2.05.4. However, no details have been provided <br />about reclamation of the haul roads, removal of the facilities, relocation of the CC Ditch, etc. <br />Please provide a detailed reclamation timetable in accordance with 2.05.4(2)(a). <br />2.054(2)(b) — Reclamation cost estimate <br />1. In Section 2.05.4(2)(b), the PAP states that a copy of the reclamation documents is included <br />in Section 3.02.2. WFC has not submitted a reclamation cost estimate. Reclamation costs <br />will be evaluated by the Division in a later stage of the permit adequacy review process. <br />2.05.4(2 )(c) — Backfilling, soil stabilizing, compacting, grading, post - mining contours, stream <br />channel reconstruction, and road removal or modification <br />Post - mining contour map 2.05.4 -1 shows the proposed final contours. This map shows the <br />overburden box -cut stockpile, the topsoil stockpile, and sediment ponds NHN -001, NHN- <br />002, and NHN -003 remaining as permanent features. This final configuration is not in <br />agreement with Section 34- 33- 120(2)(c) and Rule 4.14(2)(a) and (d), and 4.14.2(1). Please <br />provide a map that shows the final post- mining contours of the facilities area including the <br />temporary box -cut spoil stockpile and the topsoil stockpile. Haul roads, mine facilities, and <br />years of mining should also be deleted from this map. If the ponds are to remain as <br />permanent features, please provide the appropriate demonstrations required by Rule <br />4.05.9(13). <br />2. Please include a legend on Map 2.05.4 -1. <br />3. The post- mining contours on map 2.05.4 -1 show smooth straight slopes in the Garvey, <br />Meehan and Glasier properties. This map does not show where drainage ways will be <br />reestablished. The Division has 30+ years of experience with observing reclaimed slopes <br />and has noted that smooth straight slopes exhibit more erosion and gullying that reclaimed <br />slopes with undulations and slope variations. Please discuss why there are no erosion <br />
