<br />FPM <br />Mr. James B. McArdle <br />August 12, 1983 <br />Page 3 <br />f. 40,000 yards in the plant area now being used as <br />terraces. <br />g. 2,000 yards along the south property line in the p..ant <br />area. This represents the initial work of the above <br />mentioned stockpile and will be completed by the frill <br />of 1984. <br />h. 100,000 yards in the south side of the plant area. <br />Total 208,000 yards3 <br />As you mentioned in your letter there is a considerable <br />amount of overburden on the property and as mentioned <br />above we plan to store the bulk of the reclamation soils <br />along the plant perimeter. We anticipate that through <br />the life of this operation there will always be an ample <br />amount of soils available for reclamation. As you requested <br />I am enclosing a map depicting the location of storage areas. <br />The photo enclosed in the 1983 annual report was an oblique <br />photo and there is considerable distortion from ea~ot to west. <br />The disturbed Ac should be 97Ac. I will take more care in <br />the future reports to better represent the actual disturbed <br />area. <br />8) I don't know why there has been some confusion over the retention <br />ponds. Pond -0tl is the one you refer to in item 6 (Observations <br />of Importance), which is of sufficient size to retain a minimum <br />of 1.6 acre feet of water. <br />Pond I12 is on the quarry floor and if I remember correctly you <br />took a picture of it on the day of your inspection. I would <br />be happy to meet with you at the site and go over the location <br />of this structure. As mentioned in the mining plan, the locations <br />will vary and it is anticipated that when the plant gradE~ reduction <br />is completed Pond I/1 will be located in the southwest corner of <br />the plant area. Sdithin the next two years Pond lk2 will tie moved <br />to another location on the ouarry floor. [Je are presently looking <br />at the southwest corner of the floor. Idith each of thesE~ moves <br />attention will be given to the sizing and construction a<; per the <br />mining plan. <br />
