CEIVED <br /> Bullet point number 1: Skid loader is 753 Bobcat. Its use Is for smoothing the banks <br /> Bullet point number 2: Hand tools less than 10 tons. Backhoe will open trenches but dirt will not be <br /> hauled away. 20 tons would be a good figure. The top soil will be set aside for future use at 4 to 5 tons. <br /> Bullet point number 3: The depth of the excavations will be less than 4 feet deep. All will be within the <br /> designated area. <br /> Bullet point number 4: As stated no oil organ storage at the site. Hose or fuel spillage will be minimal. <br /> Clean up will be shove(and barrel. A major spill of 5 gallons still would not go anywhere and certainly <br /> would not enter any water bodies. <br /> Bullet point number 5: Mother Nature will provide the interim management plan. The holes and <br /> trenches fill with snow and Ice from the wind and access is near impossible. Digging will be suspended <br /> at first frost <br /> Bullet point number6: Nol I identified one area as a seasonal pond. BLM has interpreted this <br /> statement as surface water. It is rain water In a clay based depression that is dry now and about M of <br /> the time. In the immediate area dry holes have been drilled,so I question even the presence of ground <br /> water within pumping distance. The rainwater in the clay base depression evaporates more than <br /> penetrating the soil. Therefore I see no relationship between the water depression and my operations. <br /> Bullet point number 7: A Timeline for reclamation is Impossible to state. When the barite crystals run <br /> out. I can state I want to slope my digs at a gentle slope,say 4 to 1. And a seeding rate is not as <br /> Important as to seeding with moisture. And yes my holes will be backfilled and the land will be available <br /> for grazing. I will say I will hand broadcast with raking to cover seeds. With the and conditions one <br /> seeding Is possibly not enough. <br /> Sincerely <br /> Dave Harvey <br />
