At a minimum, you must identify any permanent man -made structures within two hundred (200) feet of the affected area and the owner of each structure. Permanent man-made structures include houses, barns, fences, above or below ground utilities, irrigation ditches, maintained or public roads, bridges, wells, pipelines, water storage impoundments, railroad tracks, cemeteries, and communication antennas, etc. Each structure should be located on Exhibit E - Map; Adequate as submitted EXHIBIT B - Site Description (Rule 6.3.2(c)): You must address Item (c) to the extent necessary to demonstrate compliance with the applicable performance standard requirements of Rule 3. At a minimum, you must give a description of the water resources in the area of the proposed operation. Identify any streams, springs, lakes, stock water ponds, ditches, reservoirs, and aquifers which would receive drainage directly from the affected area. Provide any information available from publications or monitoring data on flow rates, water table elevations and water quality conditions. Adequate as submitted EXHIBIT C - Minna Plan (Rule 6.3.3): (1) The purpose of the mining plan is to describe how mining will affect the permit area for the duration of the operation. This plan must be correlated to Exhibit E - Map. The description of the mining plan must be adequate to satisfy the requirements of Section 3.1 and demonstrate compliance with Rule 3. At a minimum, you must include the following information: Exhibit C Adequate as submitted (a) specify the estimated dates that mining will commence and end; (b) give the estimated depth to which soil, suitable as a plant growth medium, will be salvaged for use in the reclamation process. This description must be consistent with information provided in Exhibit B. Sufficient soil must be salvaged to meet the vegetation establishment criteria of Subsection 3.1.10. If plant growth medium is not reapplied on a graded area immediately after salvage, then you must specify how the topsoil will be stockpiled and stabilized with a vegetative cover until used in reclamation.
