ULLOM <br />QUALITY CONTROL MANAGER <br />~~~~G ;~~~~~ <br />1. <br />DEC 7 4 1988 <br />fJif~~p )-Ni•,', <br />~ECLF,NiATlO~~ DIy1S!pW <br />We have reviewed the recommendations of the Soil Conservation District and <br />Division of Wildlife for reclamation. It is our intention to follow the reclama- <br />tion plan of the Soil Conservation District. <br />The Division of Wildlife has currently included species of plants that the Soil <br />Conservation District has not included in their Range Conditon Inventory. We <br />wish to follow the recommendations of the soil and vegetation experts. We do <br />not believe these other species listed in the Division of Wildlife's statement <br />currently exist. Therefore, we do not feel responsible to reclaim with species <br />not existing at the present time. Additionally, the use of steel and concrete <br />stabilization structures is not necessary, We can adequately stabilize with <br />earth berms. Furthermore, the cost is prohibitive. <br />We have intentions of preserving and protecting the concerns of all the county's <br />residents, including the Cook's. We have chosen a mining area on the west side <br />of the ridge. This should prevent most of the mining operation from ever being <br />seen from the Cook's residence on the east side of the ridge. Furthermore, we <br />have chosen an area where previous mining has occured. This is an attempt to <br />disturb as little of the treed area as possible. Also, the haul road will be <br />in the basin to the west to prevent a dust problem near the Cook's residence. <br />We hope the items previously discussed in addition to the Clerk and Recorder's <br />attest and the Performance Warranty will sufficiently address the adequacy of <br />this permit request. Should you need additional information, please contact <br />the undersigned. <br />Sincerely, , <br />Rick Ullom <br />Quality Control Manager <br />RU/j as <br />
