Response to Adequacy Issue No. 11.
Wildcat will correct the statement at page 7 of Exhibit 6.5. The values at Table
U -6 are the correct values.
Adequacy Issue Nos. 12 and 13.
The Applicant has proposed to resolve this adequacy issue in a follow -up Technical
Revision (TR) or Amendment (AM), to be submitted subsequent to the approval and
issuance of CN -01. The revised text response to this adequacy issue presented in the
subject response letter shall be included in the revised Geotechnical Stability Exhibit.
Response to Adequacy Issue Nos. 12 and 13.
Wildcat presented its work plan to analyze embankment slope stability in its
Response to Adequacy Issue No. 14, August 22, 2011 Cazier Memorandum. The bullets
in this work plan are slightly different than the bullets at Page 8 of Exhibit 6.5 Wildcat
will reconcile the differences between the bullets at Page 8 of Exhibit 6.5 and its
Response to Adequacy Issue No. 14, August 22, 2011 Cazier Memorandum, and will
incorporate the following bulleted work plan into Exhibit 6.5, in place of the bullets at
Page 8 of Exhibit 6.5:
• When field access is granted, Wildcat will implement its Augmentation Pond
Construction Work Plan (Attachment D -6). In order to confirm the stability
of the embankments, cut and fill slopes, and pond slopes at the Augmentation
Pond, and the characteristics of the Augmentation Pond foundation, and to
assess the need for any improvements to further stabilize these embankments
or slopes, Wildcat will implement a geotechnical work plan consisting of
performing a review of existing data, subsurface investigation, laboratory
testing, engineering analysis, conclusions regarding site stability, and design
criteria recommendations. Specifically, Wildcat will perform the following:
o Drill six test borings to 20 feet or refusal at the approximate
locations shown in Figure 6.5 -4. An engineer /geologist will log
the borings and obtain relatively undisturbed, bulk samples of the
materials encountered. Samples will be inspected to confirm field
classifications and for laboratory testing;
