Mr. Tenore <br />Page 13 <br />October 2, 2012 <br />10. The Applicant has indicated there is approximately 4" of topsoil which can be salvaged <br />throughout the site. In addition, the Applicant has stated this material will be used to backfill <br />the quarry. Pursuant to Rule 3.1.9, where it is necessary to remove overburden in order to <br />mine the construction material, topsoil shall be removed and segregated from other spoil. <br />Please commit to salvaging all available topsoil. In addition, please show the location of any <br />topsoil stockpiles on the Mining Plan Map. If topsoil will not be replaced within one growing <br />season, then specify how the stockpile will be stabilized. Acceptable methods of stabilization <br />include a vegetative cover. If a vegetative cover will be used, then specify the seed mix and <br />application rate. <br />6.4.5 Exhibit E — Reclamation Plan <br />11. The Reclamation Plan Map states overburden will be replaced at depths between lft. and 15 <br />ft. However, the Executive Summary provided with the Application states overburden will <br />be replaced at depths between lft. and 20 ft. Please clarify this discrepancy. <br />12. The Reclamation Plan Map states Ponderosa Pine and Rocky Mountain Juniper will be <br />planted during final reclamation of the site. Please specify if these plants will be planted as <br />seeds or saplings. <br />6.4.6 Exhibit F — Reclamation Plan Map <br />13. Please revise the Reclamation Plan Map to include a title as required by Rule 6.2.1(2)(e). <br />14. The Reclamation Plan Map shows the reclaimed slopes will be 3H:1 V. The map also depicts <br />the proposed benches which will form the 3H:1 V slopes. The area labeled as `existing <br />quarry' shows that the benches will run parallel to the reclaimed slope. The Division assumes <br />this is an error on the map. Please revise the map accordingly. <br />6.4.7 Exhibit G — Water Information <br />No comment. <br />6.4.8 Exhibit H — Wildlife Information <br />No comment. <br />6.4.9 Exhibit I — Soils Information <br />No comment. <br />6.4.10 Exhibit J — Vegetation Information <br />No comment. <br />
