Response to CN-01 Third Adequacy Issues - June 6, 2011 <br />o as necessary, the roads will be barricaded <br />• The new access road (1.8 acres) reclamation plan is Presented with the road design <br />drawings. See Attachment F <br />Adequacy Issue #10 <br />The six reclamation maps submitted with the amended application show only portions of the <br />affected lands referenced by the map title, do not delineate or label the boundary of affected <br />lands, and conflict with the text of the reclamation plan. Please correct these inadequacies by <br />revising the reclamation maps as follows: <br />a. The reclamation maps must show the expected physical appearance of all affected <br />lands after reclamation has been completed. All portions of the 47.6 acres of affected <br />lands must be shown on the reclamation maps. <br />b. The reclamation maps must delineate and label the boundaries of affected land. If a <br />portion of the permit boundary is located within the area shown on the reclamation <br />map, please show the portion of the permit boundary as well. <br />c. Please illustrate the transition of reclaimed areas with the natural topography by <br />extending the contour lines beyond the boundary of affected lands. <br />d. The reclamation maps must illustrate and clarify the reclamation plan; conflict <br />between the reclamation maps and the reclamation plan are not acceptable. Examples <br />of conflict between the reclamation plan and reclamation maps, and/or inadequacies <br />of the reclamation maps, are provided below: <br />• Figure F-1 indicates a Filter Press, a 35 ton Dry Cake Hopper, a portal shed, and <br />portions of the Mill will remain at the May Day 1 level as permanent structures. <br />The reclamation plan does not represent these structures as permanent. Therefore, <br />Figure F-1 is in conflict with the reclamation plan. <br />• Figure F-1 indicates a 20 foot highwall at 0.2H:1 V, and a 35 foot highwall at <br />0.8H:1 V. The near-vertical slopes are in conflict with the reclamation plan, <br />which indicates these slopes will be reduced to 1.5H:1 V. <br />• Figure F-3 indicates a 30 foot highwall at 0.5H:1 V, which is in conflict with the <br />1.5H:1 V slope described in reclamation plan. <br />• Figure F-3 shows two sheds as permanent structures, not addressed by the <br />reclamation plan. <br />• Figures F-4 and F-4A show several access roads which are not indicated by the <br />reclamation contour lines. If the access roads are permanent please alter the <br />contour lines to indicate such. If the access roads are not permanent please <br />remove them from the reclamation maps. <br />Revised <br />6/6/2011
