Page 2 of 2 <br />The Division has the following comments: <br />Rule 2.04.13(1) - please ensure that the Annual Reclamation Report is received by the Division by <br />Feb 15, or other such date as agreed on. <br />Rule 2.04.13(1)(c), Rule 2.04.13(1)(d), Rule 2.04.13(1)(e) - Map 29 delineates Areas Reclaimed, <br />which includes backfilled, graded, and revegetated areas. However, the Areas Reclaimed do not <br />identify which year the reclamation occurred, per Rule(s) 2.04.13(1)(c), 2.04.13(1)(d), and <br />2.04.13 (1)(e). <br />Please provide information that provides the location and date of planting for all previously <br />revegetated areas, per Rule 2.04.13(1)(f). <br />Rule 2.04.13(1)(e) - requires that the ARR include text, discussion and maps which address the <br />species, location and number of acres of vegetation planted during calendar year 2011, including <br />any augmented seeding or cultural practices. Discrete areas planted with specific seedmixes <br />should be indicated, and seedtags, invoices, or other comparable documentation should be <br />included. <br />The Foidel Creek Mine 2011 ARR identifies 39 acres of augmented seeding during 2011 and Map <br />29 delineates areas that have been reclaimed. However, the 2011 ARR does not provide <br />comparable information discussing species or proof of seed mixes (seedtags or invoices) and Map <br />29 does not identify locations seeded in 2011, per Rule 2.04.13(1)(e). <br />Please provide comparable information discussing species of vegetation, location of <br />revegetation conducted in 2011, and any information discussing seed mixes utilized in <br />revegetation efforts in 2011, per Rule 2.04.13(1)(e). <br />Rule 2.04.13(1)(f) - Map 29 delineates Areas Reclaimed, which includes backfilled, graded, and <br />revegetated areas. However, the Areas Reclaimed do not identify the date of planting for <br />previously revegetated areas, per Rule 2.04.13(1)(f). <br />Please provide information that provides the location and date of planting for all previously <br />revegetated areas, per Rule 2.04.13(1)(f). <br />Please feel free to contact me with any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jason Musick <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />
