Dear Dan:
This letter is intended to describe the submission of volume

November 8, 1983 submission as well as responses to the remaining
adequacy issues addressed in your Draft Findings Document dated
March 14, 1983. A listing of the outstanding adequacy issues
and our responses follow.

al chemical analysis of one year old underground development waste/soil
map revision in proposed sediment pond toxic B 6 C horizons/overburden

Re: Pages 67-69 have been revised or added to the soil section.

Map 2.04.9-1 has been revised to show all samples listed in Tables
2.04.9 (1) (b) - 1 through 7. Map 2.04.10 has been revised to show
sample sights SS1 through SS10 corresponding to vegetation sample
points discussed in section 2.04.10. Page 73 now refers to appendix F.
Adequacy issue 115 Topsoil volume discrepancy:
Re: The discrepancy primarily had to do with topsoil acreage
errors in Table 2.05.3 (5) -1 which is being replaced. Pages 109,
110, and 122 have been revised to show topsoil calculations.
Adequacy issue 117 Disturbance during the present

development waste disposal area. Slight boundary modifications were
made to allow working room around the disposal sight. Light contour
