with information about the type of vegetation found at the site with a list of <br />species and their percentage of cover found in the area. <br />6.3.3 EXHIBIT C - Mining Plan <br />2) Please indicate what species of grass will be planted on the topsoil stockpile to <br />stabilize it from wind and water erosion. Please provide a list of species and the <br />approximate pounds per acre of seed to be planted on the stockpile. <br />3) Please specify where mining will commence within the permit area and what <br />direction(s) mining will proceed. <br />4) While excavating, will a highwall be created? If so, please specify the maximum <br />length the highwall will be at any given time during the operation. Please specify <br />what angle the highwall will be (vertical, 1:1, 4:1 etc.). <br />5) Please describe how storm water will be managed at the site? Will any <br />impoundments or diversion structures be created? If so, please specify their <br />dimensions and please indicate where they will be located on an updated Exhibit <br />E Mining Plan Map. <br />6) Please describe what measures will be taken to ensure offsite areas are not <br />disturbed by the mining operation. <br />7) Please specifically state that ground water will not be exposed through the mining <br />process. <br />8) Will any explosives be used during the operation? If so, please supply the <br />appropriate geotechnical stability exhibit as described in Rule 6.5. <br />9) The Mining Plan Map indicates there is an existing inactive pit area. Will this <br />area be re-affected by the mining operation? If so, this area will need to be <br />included within the permit area which may impact the type of permit needed. If <br />not, the Operator must not affect this land. <br />6.3.4 EXHIBIT D - Reclamation Plan <br />10) Please describe how the seedbed will be prepared for seeding. Will the site be <br />tilled to de-compact the soil? <br />11) Please provide an estimate for the amount of manure to be applied to the site in <br />tons per acre. <br />12) Please provide a basis for the estimated volume to be used to backfill the pit <br />slopes to a 4:1 horizontal to vertical ratio. What will be the maximum length and <br />slope angle of the highwall at any given time during the operation?
