I appreciate your consideration in <br />granting the extension to Summit for the reasons we discussed. 1 will respond in the same <br />order as you presented in your comments. <br />Exhibits A, B and C are adequate. <br />Exhibit D -Mining Plan. <br />(a) We are in the process of developing the maps you requested, fora more detailed <br />description of the mining methods that will be employed. They will be supplied to you in <br />the extension period. <br />(c) Since the surface is mainly rock, the chances for creating excessive erosion and <br />sedimentation to occur aze minor. However, any structures to prevent erosion will not be <br />major. If necessary, small uplWnd diversions tc divert sw-face n:noffav:ay from the disturbed <br />areas will be installed during mining, as needed. However, since a pit will be created in <br />mining, surface runoff will be trapped there. In other operations, the trapped erosion <br />sedimentation has been composed of fine clay, which is valuable to the operator. <br />(f) Stockpiles of the little topsoil that is present that will be used during reclamation are being <br />located on the map. <br />
