Response to Adequacy Issue No. 4.
Wildcat will modify the second paragraph under the "New Access Road"
section at Page 4 of Exhibit 6.5 as follows:
Adequacy Issue No. 5.
The data and analysis contained in the May 29, 2010
report is preliminary. Wildcat has committed in
Attachment D -1 to obtain geotechnical data prior to
commencing road construction in order to perform
additional geotechnical analyses to confirm or modify its
proposed New Access Road design. Wildcat will submit
this data and any revised design through the Technical
Revision or Amendment process, as provided in
Attachment D -1. The proposed construction work plan,
including erosion and sedimentation Best Management
Practices (BMPs), is presented in Attachment D -1. The New
Access Road (CLC, 2011) has been designed to carry loads
up to 25 tons.
The applicant has committed to resolving this adequacy issue. However, they have not
committed to addressing this adequacy issue in a TR or AM. Please provide a written
commitment to resolve this adequacy issue via the TR or AM process. The revised text
for this adequacy issue presented in the subject response letter shall be included in the
revised Geotechnical Stability Exhibit.
Response to Adequacy Issue No. 5.
Wildcat has committed to address embankments at the augmentation pond by
performing a geotechnical and engineering work plan and presenting stability data any
revised design for DRMS approval through the Technical Revision or Amendment
process. See, e.g., Response to Adequacy Issue No. 14, August 22, 2011 Cazier
Memorandum; Exhibit 6.5, at 8.
Wildcat will add a second sentence to the "Embankments" section at Page 6 of
Exhibit 6.5, as follows: "Wildcat intends to perform a geotechnical and engineering
analysis to demonstrate the stability of the embankment, cut and fill slopes, and pond
slopes at the Augmentation Pond." Following this sentence, Wildcat will add the
bulleted text of its Response to Adequacy Issue No. 14, August 22, 2011 Cazier
Memorandum, in which Wildcat commits to resolve this adequacy issue through the
Technical Revision or Amendment process. Wildcat will also modify these bullets by
revising the phrase, "cut and fill slopes and pond slopes," to read, "embankments, cut
and fill slopes, and pond slopes," each time it is used.
