` - -. ___ <br />~~ Margaret Winter • -2- • October 22, 1980 <br />area. 'I'bis will be necessary to evaluate both the potential impacts <br />o[ the loadout, and any proposed reclamation plan. <br />6. You must address the requirements of the fedcrnl interim regulations for <br />surface and grounch~rater monitoring. Arc theie indications that shallow <br />groundwater may be present? If so, monitoring may he necessary. <br />7. The existv~ce oC al.luvtal valley floors in the permit or adjacent areas <br />must be addressed, at a reconnaisance level (I can provide additional <br />information - sec enclosed tecluiical ~nridm~ce document). <br />B. The proposed reclanation plan should be discussed both in terms of the <br />land use provisions of the federal interim regulations (715.13) and in <br />terms of the rccl.un:rtion plan requirements of Rule 2 of the mineral regu- <br />lations (1976 Act). 71iis discussion should include a consideration of <br />the highest and best use which can be reasonably achieved for the area <br />in question, and, iE the proposed postmining land use is industrial, the <br />probahi.lity that the area will actually be usecr fur this purpose. At a <br />minimcan, stabilising the area with vegetaticn will be required. <br />I hope this brief discussion will give you some ~ridance for the preparation of <br />an adequate application Cor this loadout. In addition to those items specifically <br />referenced in this ]et.ter, your application should address each of the require- <br />ments of the federal interim regulations. <br />Publication and notice requirements of Rule 2.2 of the mineral regulations (1976 <br />Act) are applicable to this amendment. You may commence publication at this time. <br />Consideration oC the ananchnent will be tentatively scheduled Eor the December <br />17-]8 meeting oC the Mined I,:uu1 Iteclamntion Board.
