James B. McArdle <br /> October 22, 1979 <br /> Page Two <br /> This Application, however, for purposes of the permit and for <br /> setting bond, and in terms of what is planned now, is for <br /> minimal reclamation leaving two standing pools of water as <br /> seen on our initial Exhibit "F" , Final Contour Map, leaving <br /> a 10 acre lake in Parcel A and a . 9 acre lake in Parcel B <br /> with reclamation around the perimeters of these two parcels . <br /> The perimeters would comprise above the water table 3. 26 acres <br /> (2 . 46 acres in Parcel A and . 8 acres in Parcel B) . An ad- <br /> ditional 2 . 5 acres would be under water between these two <br /> parcels (approximately 2 acres in Parcel A and . 5 acres in <br /> Parcel B) so as to comply with the proper slope requirements, <br /> and the material put in below the water table to comply with <br /> the sloping requirements would be the same material removed <br /> from the site so that there would be no problem with pollution, <br /> silting, toxicity, etc. <br /> B. ) Attached is a big standard U.S.G.S . topographical quadrangle <br /> with the property subject to this permit application being <br /> shown in red and black diagonals. In addition, 5 copies of <br /> the new Exhibit "B" , which is a more localized copy of this <br /> quadrangle is provided to supplement the initial application. <br /> C. ) With regard to your concerns about the mining plan, I have <br /> attached 5 copies of a revised Exhibit "D" , which amends <br /> parts of the initial Exhibit "D" , and that revision addresses: <br /> 1. The two ponds to be left at the cessation of the entire <br /> operation -- as mentioned above, a 10 acre pond in Parcel <br /> A and a .9 acre pond in Parcel B. <br /> 2. The clean fill material placed in this aquifer, if any, <br /> will be the overburden and topsoil initially removed to <br /> permit excavation so that there is no foreign material <br /> being replaced on the site, it is the same that is re- <br /> moved and the possibility of foreign contamination being <br /> brought in is avoided. <br /> 3. Because of the material being indigenous to the site, <br /> possible ground water contamination through siltation <br /> or toxic substances is insignificant. In replacement <br /> there may be some slight siltation and some "mudding" <br /> of the waters, of course, but this will settle out rather <br /> quickly. <br /> 4 . Future use of the land is undetermined, and as the operator <br /> will be responsible only for reclaiming the perimeter and <br />
