Please add measurement units to each of the constituents listed in Table 2 on permit text <br />page 2.05 -57 of Section 2.05.6(3)(b)(iv). <br />CAM Response: Table 2 has been revised, please see page 2.05 -58 <br />Division Response: Response accepted. <br />Rule 2.06.6 Special Categories of Mining <br />99a. Under 2.06.6 Prime Farmlands, please provide a reference to the letter from NRCS in <br />Exhibit 8. <br />Rule 2.06.8(3) Alluvial Valley Floor Determination <br />100 -112. CAM presented a revised Alluvial Valley Floor (AVF) report prepared by ERO <br />Resources Corporation based on comments 100 - 112. This report is found in Volume 1 <br />Tab 14 of the PAP. The information found in this report was adequate to make a negative <br />alluvial valley floor determination within the permit boundary of the Fruita Loadout site. <br />CAM added specific answers /comments on Adequacy Items # 104,107 & 108. See <br />comments below for additional edits and clarification. <br />100 -103. Responses accepted and all items resolved. <br />104. Rule 2.06.8(3)(b)(ii) requires a map of all lands that are currently or were historically flood <br />irrigated. In the first paragraph on page 2 of the AVF report, there is a statement that says <br />the area immediately adjacent to both the east and west sides of Reed Wash do not appear <br />suitable for farming. The last sentence in the first paragraph on page 2 states that based on <br />a review of current aerial photos, agriculture is limited to hay production, irrigated via a <br />series of ditches. It is not clear where the ditches are located in relation to the permit <br />boundary or where the hay production is. Please provide a map showing the hay fields and <br />irrigation ditch system and all lands that are currently flood irrigated. <br />CAM Response: Please see new Map -22 showing irrigated hay fields and the irrigation <br />ditch system. <br />Division Response: Response accepted. <br />105 -106. Responses accepted and all items resolved. <br />107. Rule 2.06.8(3)(b)(iii), requires a map of all lands in the area subject to agricultural <br />activities, showing types and accompanied by measurements of vegetation in terms of <br />productivity and type. The report indicates that agricultural activities are to the north of the <br />proposed permit area and one small area south of the Highway 50 just west of Reed Wash. <br />
