Division Direcor
have received a map of the above-named site, submitted on your behalf by Nichols Associates. This map, though
it contains a few details which should be modified, appears to be sufficient at this time to be considered as a
completed corrective action, as it was outlined in my inspection report. The outstandingproblem under the topic of
"records" is now abated.
As mentioned above, most of the items necessary to locate the permit area in the field, delineate the permit
boundary, and represent the mining-related features are now on a map. And though the problem of the lack of a
sufficient map is now "abated", I must emphasize that a few things must be modified on the new map for it to be
truly "correct". Since the map submitted appears to have been generated from digitized data, modifying and
reprinting it should be a fairly simple matter. I have listed the items which must be corrected below:
1. The map contains a legal description of the 40-acre property parcel within which the permit area is located.
The description is incorrect, in that it describes an adjoining 40-acre tract. The pit is not in the NE1/4 of the SW 1/4
of Section l2. It is in the NW 1/4 of the SE1/4 of that section. This must be corrected. (Please also include a
reference to a locatable poin t, such as a marked section corner for example.)
2. The permit boundary is delineated as a square measuring 660 feet on a side, which makes a 10-acre azea.
Yours is a "110 permit" meaning it is less than ten acres. Original application materials (Exhibit A -Legal
Description) stated that the affected area is "an unsurveyed tract containing approximately 9 acres." This office
has always considered the permit acreage to be 9.0 acres. (Please see my comments in the attached 1/19/99 letter.)
Therefore, the boundary line must be modified in some way to reflect an area of the correct number of acres and
still contain all existing (and future) mining-related disturbance. It does not necessarily need to be a square shaped
area.
3. The map you have submitted shows the present pit and various stockpiles, clearly indicating it is a "mining
map". Please ensure that the modified mining map to be submitted shows the areas into which mining will progress
and any other mining-related features which may change. As you may remember, I also requested that you submit
a "reclamation map" which shows the site after it is reclaimed. That map should depict no stockpiles, pit slopes no
steeper than the gradient stated in the approved plan, which areas are to be revegetated (and not revegetated), etc. I
mentioned these in my 1/19/99 letter, and cited Rule 6.3 also. Please ensure that in addition to a corrected mining
map, a correct reclamation map is also submitted.
