Mr. Gilbert F. Rindahl - 3 - June 17, 1985 <br /> 5. Will pumping' only occur from the specified locations (Phase I, Phase III) <br /> or will other pump locations exist? Please describe the other locations and <br /> draingage systems if applicable. <br /> 6. Page D-1 states that mining will be in 5 acre parcels, yet the itemized <br /> disturbance description which follows indicates maximum excavation of 2 <br /> acres. Please clarify. <br /> 7. Please indicate how the operator will insure that dewatering activities do <br /> not damage or kill the adjacent mature cottonwoods. Many operators route a <br /> portion of the dewatering discharge to the cottonwoods via 6 inch irrigation <br /> mainline pipe. Please indicate your plans to maintain the trees. <br /> 8. The Division recommends the installation of groundwater monitering wells <br /> which should be checked periodically to insure that dewatering activities do <br /> not impact local residential water wells. The Craig well is of particular <br /> concern. <br /> 9. Please specify whether gravel will be washed at the proposed plant site. <br /> Explain the wash water discharge system including settling pond if <br /> applicable. <br /> I <br /> 10. This exhibit should be amended to reflect the existing area. <br /> Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan <br /> 1 . Topsoil redistribution to a minimum depth of 12 inches will be recommended <br /> as part of the amendment approval . <br /> 2 Please verify that haul roads and plant areas will be ripped and disced or <br /> otherwise prepared for subsquent topsoiling, soil amendment and seeding. <br /> Topsoil should be salvaged and stored prior to development of the plant site <br /> unless sufficient topsoil remains available from the pit excavation areas. <br /> i <br /> 3. We agree that weeds must be properly controlled. It seems that weed cover <br /> of 30% is excessive and weeds should not be allowed to invade to such a high <br /> percent composition. <br /> 4. Please provide the acreage of each proposed lake. <br /> 5. The reclamation plan indicates (page E-1 ) that no agriculture or <br /> horticulture will be involed. The lakes will become wildlife habitat and <br /> mining and reclamation should occur such that shoreline irregularities and <br /> possibly islands are left. Please submit a revised reclamation plan map which <br /> clearly shows this to be the case. <br /> 6. Please amend this exhibit to reflect the status of the existing permit <br /> area. <br />
