Mr. Wallace H. Erickson <br />Response to September 27, 2011 Cazier Memorandum <br />October 11, 2011 <br />Page 10 <br />Response to Adequacy Issue No. 15. <br />Wildcat will modify Item 7, as follows: "To the extent these geotechnical <br />stability evaluations indicate modifications to the design of the Augmentation Pond <br />relating to the suitability of onsite materials are necessary, Wildcat will submit such <br />design modifications to DRMS for review and approval through the Technical Revision <br />or Amendment process." <br />Adequacy Issue No. 16. <br />The response is inadequate. The soil in the existing pond is previously disturbed. <br />Therefore, it is not necessarily correctly categorized by the soil survey. This soil <br />currently demonstrates a capability to support vegetation. As such, DRMS requires this <br />soil be stockpiled for future reclamation activities. <br />Response to Adequacy Issue No. 16. <br />Wildcat has conducted a soil survey of the project area and has determined the <br />amount of soil within the proposed augmentation pond footprint is limited. Wildcat will <br />modify Item 9 as follows: "Limited topsoil is available in the location of the <br />augmentation pond footprint. Wildcat will salvage and stockpile soil where the depths <br />are in excess of 6 inches for the purpose of supporting future reclamation activities." <br />Adequacy Issue No. 17. <br />The applicant has committed to resolving this adequacy issue. However, they have not <br />committed to addressing this adequacy issue in a TR or AM. Please provide a written <br />commitment to resolve this work plan adequacy issue via the TR or AM process. The 11 <br />bulleted responses to this adequacy issue presented in the subject response letter shall be <br />included in the revised Work Plan with the following corrections: <br />a. Second bullet — Figure 6.5 -1 should be Figure 6.5 -4. <br />b. Third bullet — "... assessment of slopes steeper than 2(H):1(V)" should read <br />"3(H): 1(V)" <br />c. Seventh bullet — "Detailed drawings" should read "Conceptual drawings" and <br />"Figure D -1" should be "Figure D -2 ". <br />d. Last bullet — "Figure D -1" should be "Figure D -2 ". <br />Response to Adequacy Issue No. 17. <br />Response to Adequacy Issue No. 17.a. <br />Wildcat will change this reference to Figure 6.5 -4. <br />DEN 97, 627, 904v1 10 -11 -11 <br />GREENBERG TRAURIG, LLP ® ATTORNEYS AT LAW ® WWW.GTLAW.COM <br />
