<br />-5- <br /> <br />3) The applicant has provided additional discussion which indicates <br />that subirrigation is limited to areas directly adjacent to the <br />stream channel, that these areas are less than 10 acres in size, <br />and that these areas contain species that are not agriculturally <br />useful. If these statements can be confirmed with information <br />contained in the permit application (or otherwise available), <br />the area would not be identified as an alluvial valley floor <br />because of subirrigation. (Sandy, you or someone else with a <br />vegetation background needs to review this section.) <br />The applicant failed to address the final concern in the AVF section, <br />which asked whether the study area established for the Eckman Park Mine <br />is sufficient for the proposed operation. Depending upon the extent to <br />which the proposed operation effects the adjacent hydrologic system, <br />alluvial valley floor findings may be required for Middle Creek and Trout <br />Creek. Since I have not reviewed the Mine No. 3 - Middle Creek Mine <br />permit application, I do not know if the information it contains would be <br />adequate to make the necessary determinations and findings. <br />/ep <br />Attachment <br />cc: Jim Pendleton <br />Roy Cox <br />Ed Bischoff <br />Doc.
