Mr. Morrison <br />Page 1 3 <br />February 2, 2011 <br />10. Please describe the major components of the mining operation as required by Rule 6.3.3(d). <br />Specifically, describe the pit and specify the grade the pit walls will be mined at. <br />6.3.4 Exhibit D - Reclamation Plan <br />11. The Mining Plan states the maximum size area that will be mined at one time would be from <br />5 to 6 acres. Please clarify if the Operator will reclaim the site concurrently with mining or if <br />all reclamation will be performed at the completion of mining. <br />12. The Reclamation Plan Map depicts the haul road in its proposed location. Please specify if <br />the haul road will remain upon the completion of mining. If the haul road will remain upon <br />the completion of mining, then the Operator shall provide a signed statement from the <br />landowner demonstrating their approval of leaving the haul road in place. <br />6.3.5 Exhibit E - Map <br />13. The Mining Plan Map and the Reclamation Plan Map do not depict the haul road in its <br />entirety. The haul road is part of the affected area and must be included in both maps. Please <br />revise the Mining Plan and Reclamation Plan Maps to include the haul road or submit <br />separate maps depicting the haul road route. <br />14. As required by Rule 6.3.5(2)(b), please label the names of owner(s) of record of the surface <br />of the affected area, identify the owner of the substance to be mined, and the type of structure <br />and owners of record of any permanent man-made structures within 200 feet of the affected <br />area. <br />15. As required by Rule 6.3.5(2)(f), please outline and label existing disturbance within and/or <br />adjacent to the permit boundary(e.g., previously mined areas, roads or excavations resulting <br />from utility construction). Re-disturbance of previously disturbed areas, by the proposed <br />mining operation, must be included in the permit area and addressed in Exhibit D - <br />Reclamation Plan. <br />-16. As required by Rule 6.3.5(3)(a), the Reclamation Plan Map must show the gradient of all <br />reclaimed slopes (horizontal:vertical) sufficient to describe the post mine topography. Please <br />revise the Reclamation Plan Map accordingly. <br />17. As required by Rule 6.3.5(3)(d), the Reclamation Plan Map must state the average thickness <br />of replaced overburden by reclamation area or phase. Please revise the Reclamation Plan <br />Map accordingly. <br />18. As required by Rule 6.3.5(3)(e), the Reclamation Plan Map must state the average thickness <br />of replaced topsoil by reclamation area or phase. Please revise the Reclamation Plan Map <br />accordingly.
