4. Please specify the dimensions of any significant existing disturbance to the land <br />surface. The application mentions a previously mined pit. Please provide <br />information such as length, width and depth, of the previously mined area. <br />The peak of this site was disturbed in past years. An area approximately 150 feet by <br />450 feet by 15 feet in depth at the peak had material taken out. <br />5. Specify the dimensions of the existing road. Please provide information such as <br />the length and width of the existing road. Also, will there be any improvements <br />made to the road, will the road need to be widened to accommodate more traffic. <br />There is an entrance roadway to the site which appears to be 30 feet wide. Once the <br />pit site is reached there is a smaller road about 20 feet in width and a secondary one <br />about 10 feet in width. Those roads encircle the peak and loop back to the entrance <br />roadway. The entrance roadway was included in the acreage calculation. It may be <br />improved as needed during actual use of the pit. Internal roadways will be <br />improved as needed during mining, but will all ultimately disappear when mining is <br />complete and reclamation occurs. <br />6. Please clarify the meaning of this statement "Mining is anticipated to a depth of <br />around 20 feet below the outside perimeter of the pit boundaries." <br />This pit includes a hill which lies primarily on the eastern half. The hill area will be <br />mined, leaving a somewhat level area. That level area will then be mined to a depth <br />of approximately 20 feet. Overall mining in the pit may be up to 60 feet in the <br />southeast corner, 20 feet in the northwest corner. <br />6.3.4 EXHIBIT D — Reclamation Plan <br />7. Please specify the thickness of the overburden that will be replaced. If there is no <br />overburden, please state that in the reclamation plan for the exhibit. <br />We do not anticipate overburden. The reclamation plan exhibit has been modified <br />with that statement. <br />6.3.5 Exhibit E - Map <br />8. The map titled "Exhibit E — Mining Plan" shows the elevation of the hill as being <br />4470 feet. The map titled "Exhibit E — Final Contour Plan" depicts the final <br />elevation of the pit floor at 4430 feet. This would result in a mining depth of 40 <br />feet. However the mining plan stated a mining depth of only 20 feet, please <br />explain or correct this discrepancy. <br />
