2. A pit with shallow water emcompassing approximately 3 acres was present.
3. Neither. topsoil nor overburden were salvaged.
4. The permitted area abounded with junk and trash.

with slopes no greater than 3H:1V, and seeded with a perennial cover crop for
conservation purposes, prior to disturbance of any area.
2. A technical revision should be submitted to the Division, by June 15,
1985, discussing any changes from the approved Permit, including, but not

year, and this should not constitue "Temporary Cessation",

acreage of affected land expected, and the decision concerning the plant
location;
