map taken from a USGS 71/2 minute quadrangle sheet, with the mining locations
and haul roads clearly marked thereon, shall be submitted with the permit
application. Also, three (3) copies of a detailed, enlarged topographic map of
a scale of five hundred (500) feet to the inch, with the site boundaries
indicated thereon and prepared by a qualified professional engineer, geologist,

(a) The title block of both sizes of maps
shall show the following information:

of the operator.
2. Owner of the
mineral rights. If more than one tract, attach list and identify by number
corresponding to mine operation shown on map.
3. The owner of the surface rights or the
name of the representative of the owners. If more than one tract, attach list
and identify by number corresponding to mine number shown on map.
4. The county in which the operation is
located.
5. The total number of
acres to be disturbed under the permit, including access roads.
6. The date the map was prepared, together
with a certification as to its accuracy by the person responsible for its

(b) The enlarged map shall show
the following information:
1. The boundaries
of the area to be permitted shall be marked in red.

transmission lines or pipe fines within the affected area or within five
hundred (500) feet thereof.
5. The
approximate location of the cuts or excavations to be made in the surface, the

mining can take place, i.e., areas too steep, too close to a stream, or areas
designated as hazard or protected areas.
6. The names of landowners within five
hundred (500) feet of the permitted area.
7. Slope measurements every five hundred
(500) feet as calculated from the top of map. If slope is less than 15 degrees,
