Mike Boulay Rule 2.04.9 Soils Resource Information -10- October 16, 2012 MCM: Comment noted. The discharge permit is in the administrative review process and will be submitted to DRMS upon issuance. 21. Please state in Section 2.04.5 and Section 2.04.7 whether East Salt Creek and Big Salt Wash are perennial, intermittent or ephemeral streams. Also, please state in the permit text whether any of the ephemeral streams within the permit area have drainage areas greater than one square mile. MCM: Please see revised page 2.04 -6 and page 2.04 -25. 22. Rule 4.05.18 requires that the Division make a finding for disturbances within 100 feet of a perennial stream, an intermittent stream or an ephemeral stream with a drainage area greater than one square mile. First, several disturbed areas are or will be within 100 feet of East Salt Creek. Please provide pertinent information in the permit text that demonstrates compliance with 4.05.18. Second, please provide similar information if any of the ephemeral drainages are greater than one square mile in size. MCM: Please see revised page 2.05 -54. The text on page 2.05 -54 was approved with TR -16 as DRMS made a negative determination in accordance with Rule 4.05.18(1) (item #58, DRMS letter dated July 21, 2008). Note: Please remove Section 4 from the permit document. Applicable soils text from Section 4 from the old permit document has been replaced with section 2.04.9. 23. The baseline soils information is found in Appendix T in the permit revision application. An Order 1 -2 soil survey was conducted on 50 acres, the area proposed for the new facilities. According to Rule 2.04.9 (1)(c), a soils map or enlarged aerial photo of the same scale as the permit area map shall be provided. The map provided (Figure 1) in Appendix T does not show a scale, but instead, instructs the Division to look at Table 1 for a scale legend. In Table 1, there is no scale legend to refer to. Please change Figure 1 map to include a scale, at the same scale as the permit area map. MCM: Please see revised soils map, Figure 1. 24. In the permit revision application, page 4- 31(1)(e) says that a discussion of potential productivity of the soils is located in the soils discussion beginning on page 4 -35. On page 4 -35, prime farmland investigation is the only subject matter discussed. Please amend this discussion to provide more information on the potential productivity of soils, besides the request for negative determination of prime farmland.
