<br />4. Table 2.04,9-1 on page 4 of Section 2.04.9, presents laboratory analysis results from the
<br />1979 undisturbed soil samples. Please add an additional column at the left side of the table
<br />that clarifies which sample locations, S I thru S6, are represented by the Samples listed.

<br />5. Table 2.04.9-2 presents the results of topsoil stockpile sampling conducted in 1979. The
<br />Division was unable to locate stockpile number SP-5 on the map. Please add this site (if
<br />location is known) to Map 2.04.9-3, Topsoil Salvage.

<br />6. The second sentence of the last paragraph on page 26 of Section 2.04.9 refers to Map 2.04.9-
<br />1. The Division believes the intended map is 2.04.9-2. Please revise this reference, if
<br />appropriate. Item resoh,ed in Dec-2011 response.
<br />7. As described in the Western Fuels 2008 Soils Survey subsection (beginning on page 22, and
<br />continuing on page 26, of Section 2.04.9), 183 soil test pits were dug by backhoe within the
<br />proposed permit area. The soil wasp excavated down to bedrock, or just below, and a fornial
<br />soil pedon description was taken at each test pit. Descriptions were prepared for each site,
<br />and the information was used to refine the MRCS soils map for the area, as shown on Map
<br />2.04.9-2 Soils Map. The text goes on to state that physical and chemical properties of each
<br />soil type were subjected to the criteria of the Wyoming Department of Environmental
<br />Quality (WyDEQ) Topsoil [and Overburden] Guideline, as requested by the Division in pre-
<br />application meetings. Please incorporate tables in the application listing the various
<br />parameters, procedures, and suitability criteria that have been used, similar to what is
<br />presented in Appendix I of the WyDEQ guideline.

<br />8. Additional comments on Map 2.04.9-3 — Topsoil Salvage Map
<br />a) In the Glasier portion of the proposed permit area, there is a triangle-shaped symbol
<br />associated with certain soil sample sites (GLP-xx). Please add this symbol (and its
<br />explanation) to the Legend. Tfieleqeli4,li�°ct,5iij-rclatecla5i-eqite,vlecl, Itent resolved in

<br />b) The symbol for the existing NH -1 mine area permit is difficult to distinguish from the
<br />proposed NHN topsoil disturbance boundary. Please use a dashed line for the NH -1
<br />permit boundary, rather than a solid line.
<br />J
<br />c) A black line is used to delineate the "existing reclamation disturbance boundary".
<br />This line is discontinued across the western and northern limits on the Garvey property.
<br />Please complete the outline of the areas previously reclaimed. 1,,,
