2.05.3(6)(a)-1 appears to have been determined using the blasting area. Please revise the <br />notification envelope to include all structures within %2 mile of the propose NHN permit <br />area. <br />Response - The notification envelope has been revised to include all structures within <br />mile of the NHN Mine permit. <br />2.05.4 - Reclamation Plan <br />2.05.4(2)(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 />Response -A reclamation timetable is now included in anew Table 2.05.4(2)(a)-1. <br />2.05.4(2)(1 <br />b).- Reclamation cost estimate <br />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 />Response - The reclamation cost evaluated by DRMS will be inserted in Section 3.02.2. <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 />Response - Map 2.05.4-1 has been revised to address these issues. <br />2. Please include a legend on Map 2.05.4-1. <br />Response - The revised map 2.05.4-1 includes a legend <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 />Response to First Adequacy Review Page 38
