I conducted a <br />visual inspection of the pit Monday April 20, 1998. We also contacted the adjacent gravel pit ownerloperator <br />Alan Parkerson to discuss his plans for future mining and reclamation. <br />During my inspection I noticed a considerable amount of topsoil located on the northerly portion of the pit. We <br />believe we can salvage this material without exceeding the bounds of the pit and successfully cover the <br />disturbed areas. I estimated that there was approximately 1000 to 1500 cubic yards of topsoil in this area. <br />That is enough to cover two acres to a depth of six inches or three acres to a depth of four inches. That will be <br />adequate to cover the south facing portion of the pit. It was also apparent during my inspection that a <br />considerable amount of contouring is required before topsoil is placed. It is recognized that there are some <br />areas of the pit face that stand greater than the desired 3:1 slope. Considering the physical constraints of the <br />pit and surrounding topography we will leave these slopes at their present grade. However, during the <br />contouring portion of the reclamation, we will be able to buttress the steep slope below the power line at the <br />extreme bottom of the slope. This is also agreeable with Mr. Parkerson. I will show on the enclosed map the <br />locations of these activities. We will install boundary markers prior to start of reclamation work or by May 31, <br />1998. whichever comes first. <br />Page 1 of 3 <br /> <br />
