~- Also what are the woody plant success standards? Depending on the extent of these shrub clumps, there may be some room for negotiation on the 1,000 stems/acre. 6.

Page 5-30 (vi) -This section should contain a clear success standard for cover, production, diversity and woody plant density on all disturbed areas. We will not approve the permit without this or a stipulation to provide it. 10.

The final mix should be applied at approximate 50 to 60 PLS/ftZ if drilled and double that amount if broadcast or hydromulched. The basic components seem okay but the portions will need to be re-calculated. The soil salvage and re-application plan appears to be okay. If I understand this correctly there will be at least 12 inches over all disturbed areas and 18 inches over most disturbed areas. According to the soil survey done by Walsh and Associates and the chemical and physical analysis provided in that report, soils in this area do not have any major limiting factors. I would suggest that you review the reclamation plan carefully with respect to not achieving AOC and leaving highwalls and benches. They probably need a variance for this activity. I will continue to review the plan until the findings is final. If I come across anything else unusual, I will let you know ASAP. If you have any questions, please see me. AJW/yjb m:\oss\yjb\carbon
