<br /> <br />Recommendations and concerns expressed by the Division Staff at We meeting were: <br />a) The Division should be provided with baseline and current depths to groundwater <br />in the proposed, currently permitted, and reclaimed areas. <br />b) If the ridge to the east of the permit area is to be mined, all available topsoil <br />should be salvaged and replaced as part of the reclamation. <br />c) If the Land Board wishes to maintain the mature cottonwoods, mining should be <br />limited to no deeper than eight feet lower than the base of the trees, and no more <br />than two feet below the surface of the groundwater table. No mining should <br />extend below the drip-line of the trees. <br />d) Leafy spurge is a major problem at the site. The operator is required, under the <br />Mineral Rules and Regulations, to control weeds on the mine site. <br />M:wsavR.+mi9u:M.oas <br />
