The application was determined to be complete on June 3, 2010. No concerns <br />have been received from other agencies regarding this proposed technical revision.

Please respond to the following comments or concerns as necessary: <br />1. Appendix A, revised page TRIO-73, does not include the reclamation costs for the entire <br />proposed disturbance. Revised page 2.05-50.9 proposes to backfill and grade the trench <br />incrementally as the pipeline is installed, reclamation costs must be included for the entire <br />length of the disturbance. <br />Please include costs for backfilling and grading, and topsoil replacement for the entire 7.5 acres <br />of disturbance. <br />2. Current approved permit page 2.04-9 does not include discussion concerning the presence of <br />cultural and historic resources and no revised page 2.04-9 was included with the TR-73 <br />submittal. <br />Please indicate if the area of disturbance does not affect cultural and historic resources or if a <br />cultural and historic resources survey has been conducted of the proposed disturbance area. <br />3. Current approved Map 29, Reclamation Map, does not include the disturbance proposed in TR- <br />73.
