The Larkin and Blue Stone ditches will remain in place. If the applicant/operator <br />wants to relocate the ditches and can locate the ditch companies, documentation <br />of an agreement will be provided to the Division. <br />12. The Mine Plan does not specify where topsoil locations are to be located. Please <br />provide a revised Mine Plan map that clearly identifies the location of the topsoil <br />stockpiles. <br />The berms on the eastern side of the permit area are topsoil stockpiles. Exhibit <br />C -2, Mine Plan Map, has been revised to label the topsoil stockpiles. <br />13. The Reclamation Map indicates that a groundwater lake will exist in Phase 3. <br />Phase 1 and Phase 2 are displayed at the original surface elevation of 4,880 <br />feet. Please specify what methods of reclamation will occur to achieve the <br />reclamation proposed. Also provide a figure of the required backfill material <br />needed to achieve the conditions displayed on Exhibit F. <br />Reclamation will occur in all disturbed areas above the water level of the lake <br />that will remain after mining in the southern part of the permit area. The northern <br />part of the permit area will be backfilled with overburden and process waste. The <br />volume of material required for backfilling is approximately 750,000 cubic yards. <br />Following the backfilling areas to be reclaimed will be graded and 6 " -12" of <br />topsoil will be placed on the graded areas. Exhibit E, Reclamation Plan, <br />discusses in detail information on seeding, seed mix, fertilization, mowing and <br />other reclamation methods. <br />Please let me know if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Paul Banks <br />Attachments <br />
