<br />James Dillie <br />Division ofMinerals and Geology <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />With this adjustment in location of the pit, we have additionally altered the other dimensions of <br />the pit slightly to maintain the specified 9.12 acreage of the pit. Therefore, the dimensions of the <br />Affected Area in Exhibit C of our original proposal have been altered to 306 feet east-west by <br />1300 feet north-south with a pit measuring 256' by 1225'. Buffers of 50' on the north and 25' on <br />the east, west and south perimeters remain as originally proposed. <br />3) The existing road is currently an unimproved dirt road into the property. As needed, it is <br />intended that this road will be leveled with a road grader and crowned to promote proper drainage <br />and to prevent standing water. Gravel from this pit will be used as road base if and when usage <br />dictates a need for additional material. <br />4) If groundwater is encountered, the area will be backfilled and left undisturbed. <br />5) The enclosed maps reflect alteration from the proposed 2: I sideslopes to 3:1 slopes in order to <br />comply with performance standards. The measurements of the bottom of the pit have been <br />altered accordingly. <br />6) In Exhibit D; we specified use of a Dry Land Pasture Mix seed at the rate of 25 Ib/acre. Upon <br />receiving the written recommendations from the Mountain Meadow Research Center, it is our <br />intent to alter this specification according to that agency's recommendations (attached). <br />As stated in Item 5, slopes are now proposed at 3:1. Topsoil stockpiles will be placed at the top <br />of slopes and will be replaced at an average depth of 6" as originally proposed. Broadcast <br />seeding is proposed for the fall at a revised rate of 15 pounds of live seed per acre, utilizing the <br />following mix: <br />Crested Wheatgrass 40% 6 lb/ac <br />Western Wheatgrass 27% 4 Ib/ac <br />Smooth Brome 20% 3 lblac <br />Mountain Brome 13% 2 Ib/ac <br />TOTAL 100% 15 LB/AC <br />Topsoil will be raked or harrowed to prepare soil for seeding, and no fertilizer will be used. Old <br />hay, which is available on the owner's property, will be used as mulch. <br />
