The first was the 3 to 1 slope issue. When I indicated that Logan County would follow Dawn Jackson's recommendations that were included with my last letter, I was responding to the top soil depth issue and did not realize her recommendations indicated a 2 to 1 slope. When I clarified this with Ms. Jackson, she indicated that a 2 to 1 slope was a minimum and that a 3 to 1 slope was better. Therefore, Logan County will provide a 3 to 1 slope as part of the reclamation plan as shown in our reclamation plan map. The second concern is the public road (State Highway 61) issue. As I indicated in my last letter, this is a valid concern if we were mining north to south. However, since the mining as shown on our mining plan is south to north there will be no disturbance of the land between Highway 61 and our pit except for some remaining clay at depths of no more than ten feet. I apologize for not catching my statement in the letter that we would be at least 200 feet. This was a typographical error. I intended to type 100 feet and hit the #two on the word processor. After discussing this with Bob Terrill, our Landfill Supervisor, and that the cottonwood trees are 150' from the southern boundary of the site, the 150' is reasonable because this would help insure that the trees would not be damaged. Logan County can commit to 150' distance from the southern boundary. I feel it is reasonable to be allowed to mine within the 200' area considering the original pit was dug to build State Highway 61 and for the past fifty years has not affected this Public Road in anyway and that we will not be digging any deeper than ten feet. Also, the State Highway Department was sent a referral concerning the April 13, 1999 Special Use Public Hearing with a map and did not respond. This indicates that they had no concerns.
