I have <br />several questions and comments that I have organized on an exhibit - <br />by - exhibit basis below. Any exhibits or parts thereof not mentioned <br />are considered adequate at this time. Please note that your file <br />number has been changed to 81-121. <br />~~Exhibit A <br />Please clarify the legal description of the site. This should be <br />to the nearest quarter quarter section. <br />Exhibits B and C <br />yd61..The topsoil stockpiles should be seeded with a perennial grass <br />~\ ~ ~Q cover crop for purposes of stabilization (such as Western <br />5` o wheatgrass at a broadcast rate of 6.0 lbs PLS/acre). <br />A clearer map of the affected land is needed. This map <br />should be of a large enough ~SCale to show locations df ,r <br />topsoil stock es, fixed equipment areas, ditchs and/or ^`" n e <br />A P car E '1 <br />erms to act as sediment control structures for Brackett <br />J~,~Creek, the location of this creek in relation to the proposed <br />~NU x -operation, the extent of the proposed pit and the direction of <br />. mining, directly adjacent landowners, potential land fill <br />locations, any haul roads constructed in connection with the <br />~~ ~`"a operation and any other permanent features of the operation. <br />~~'\ x3.

The connection between the Lincoln-DeVOre Testing Laboratory <br />Report and this operation is not clear. In this regard, <br />several questions come to mind: <br />e 3~) Whiclt of the soil types mentioned are found on the <br />'' . P site to be mined? <br />o~i) Are drainage control measures discussed in the report <br />~ to be implemented during mining? <br />~) From the discussion, it seems that some areas to be <br />mined are below the water table, thus resulting in a <br />b~~ P~~'wet, rather than a dry pit.
