<br />Mr. Charles Burry, Esq. -2- <br />December 29. 1978 <br />information and submit if with the application. <br />(7) No tnformatioa on soils or vegettation ware submitted with <br />any of the applicetione. <br />(8) No reclamation plan, and no mining plan sere submitted for <br />any of the gravel pits. This is the heart of say appli- <br />cation, elthougli neither submission need be' complex. State <br />law requires a permit, in order to assure that reclamation <br />of affected land will take place. The assurance cannot be <br />given without some infommation about how the mining will be <br />done, and about limo reclamation will take place. <br />(9) Proof of Local government approval was not submitted. In <br />moat Snetances, the only local government entity is rile <br />county, and I would assume that i[ r~oulrt not be difff.cult <br />for one E1 Fnso county a^nnry to nbtn.in approval from an- <br />other. <br />(1.A) Reclemalfon costa have not peen n_etimated. Although this is <br />not required of. counties (t+ncause the normal hondinP process <br />does not apply), 1.t might ~•~ h~lrfnl to you in nrJnr t.o estimate <br />the impact, if sno, nn y rnrc annual. buy^nY. <br />In summary, the applications submi.[[e~~ by E1 roan nre not adequate, and <br />permits simply could not be granted hF.^P+1 nn the information that has been <br />submitted. The applicati.nn proc~+anr~ for n "]]n" (limited i.r+pact -- less <br />than 10 acres) permit la not overly cnmplas or expensive. 19ost counties <br />have complied with the law, or a.Ta: mdkin~ ooo.t faitl+ efforts to .io so. <br />We have sent sample applications to Kr.. Bryant to trnrk fron. 1?nch appli- <br />cation should be prepared inaividi~nl.lc not on one Zproxed form ++l~eze all <br />cl:e blanks are filled in with the identical information. <br />Based on our phone conversation of today, I understand that the county <br />may not have the manpower to submit all [he applications at once. ltowever, <br />it would probably be to your advantage to submit complete and a+1n_quate appli- <br />estione on at least some of these gravel pits prior to the next board meeting. <br />I have enclosed an approved county application which may esnist you. If <br />you require further advice or assistance, please call me, ltarl:;Icifner, or <br />Jim Sebmieding. <br />Sincerely, <br />Hamlet J.
