Rick Mitchell was present during the <br />inspection. <br />2. The Mitchell Pit is permitted for 9.9 acres of disturbance. The operator has posted a <br />financial warranty of 53,500 in the form of a letter of credit. The post-mining land use is <br />general agriculture. <br />3. Approximately 6.5 acres of the Mitchell Pit are currently disturbed. The disturbance <br />includes 7.5 acres that have been graded to final contours and topsoiled, and 1.0 acres of <br />active disturbance. Required reclamation tasks include revegetation of the 7.5 topsoiled <br />acres, 0.5 acres (807 cu.yd.) of finish grading, reducing 300 linear feet of an 18' highwall <br />from a 1:1 to a 3:1 slope, reapplying a 6 inch cover of topsoil over 1.0 acres, and <br />revegetation of 1.0 acres. <br />4. The financial warranty is adequate for the existing disturbance. However, the Division <br />cautions that any additional or further disturbance will require an additional financial <br />warranty. Therefore, the Division recommends that revegetation of the 7.5 acres in the <br />central and east portion of the permit area be completed as soon as practicable. <br />2 & E Contact Address <br /> ^ CE <br />NAME Wavne A.
