Although submitted plans bear the stamp of a registered'CE, the drawings are not signed and dated; California Business and Professions Code Section 6735 requires that civil engineering plans either 1) contain,a note that,they,are interim or 2) contain the engineer's signature and date signed (refer to the California Business and Professions Code 6700 et. seq. "Professional Engineers Act" and 7832 et. seq. ` "Geologist and Geophysicist Act"). Environmental Setting and Protection of Fish and Wildlife Habitat . (Refer to CCR Sections 3502(b)(1),3503(c), 3703(a),(b),(c),3704(g), 3705(a), 3710(d), 3713(6)) 9. The Reclamation Plan fails to adequately describe the agricultural setting of the project. The plan needs to describe what kind of tree crops are on site and the _ status of the property regarding prime agricultural lands (See section under end use). _Resoilina and Revegetation (Refer to SMARA Section 2773(a),CCR Sections 3503(a)(1),(%(g),3704(c), 3705(a),(b),(c),(d),(e),(Q,(g),(h),(i),G),(k),(i),(m),3707(b),(d),3711(a),(b),(c),(d),(e)) 10.Information regarding soil salvage and stockpiles are not clear. Exhibit 1 delineates the property boundary but the arrow indicating the landscaped Berm (Topsoil Storage) is vague. Page 24 of the Reclamation Plan (SMR-2) indicates that soils from the South Pit will be stored in a berm for reuse but few soils will be stockpiled from the North Pit. The Reclamation Plan also states that "Average soil depths are up to 6-meters; an excess of soil therefore exists." The reclamation plan must clearly delineate on a map where the topsoil stockpiles will be stored. If the topsoil stockpile is stored in a berm around the entire property perimeter then that should be clearly shown. The total volume of stockpile to be stored must also be described. Calculated volumes must be adequate to reclaim the site pursuant to the reclamation plan objectives. 11.Topsoil placement is shown on all surfaces (including under water) on Exhibit 2. Locations for topsoil placement include both the benches and the vertical faces of the 1.5:1 slopes. Success of placing topsoil on 1 .5:1 slopes is unlikely. The reclamation plan needs to discuss how topsoil will be placed on these slopes and how the topsoil will be stabilized to prevent its erosion (CCR 3711(e)). If revegetation is part of the erosion control program for these slopes, the revegetation
