When the results of that study are compiled, it is likely that those recommendations will have direct bearing on your mining methods. I expect that a revision to your permit may be necessary at that time to incorporate the recommendations of the study and plan. In order to ensure compliance with your county permit and to minimize environmental impacts, I recommend a similar stipulation to your Mined Land Reclamation Permit which would read: The operator shall provide a detailed study of mining-related impacts from this operation within two years of the date of permit issuance. Recommendations contained in this study to minimize disturbances shall be incorporated into this permit and adhered to during mining and reclamation." Please comment if you disagree with this recommendation. 5. Approximately how much material do you plan to extract on an annual basis? Because of previous problems with mining operations outside permit boundaries, we recommend that the limits of this permit area should be permanently and visibly located. Much of the permit area is bounded by such features such as the access road, Trimble Lane Bridge, the river channel, and the north property boundary fence. However, the outline of the Alternate Stockpile Area needs to be visibly and permanently field located. Please describe your plans. In Exhibit F - Reclamation Plan, you committed to following Soil Conservation Service (S.C.S.) recommendations by salvaging the uppermost 6 to 12 inches of "topsoil" from the Alternate Stockpile Area. This topsoil will be stockpiled along the western edge of this area. Please describe your plans to stabilize this topsoil. We recommend grading it to 3:1 and less slopes and re vegetating it with a cover crop. A cover crop seed mixture and rate can be recommended by your local S.C.S. agent. Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan It is apparent that your new application does not include all previous disturbances covered by Permits M-79-016 and M-80-130. These areas need to be reclaimed and released, or they need to be included in this or a separate permit (such as Hermosa Meadows' new permit). Please show these areas on your map (either Exhibit C or F), and describe their status and your plans. If you intend to transfer these areas to a new operator, then you need to provide evidence that the new operator intends to assume the responsibilities for these areas. If you intend to reclaim these portions rather than include them in the new application, they need to be reclaimed and released by the time this permit is approved. If you intend to include these areas in your new application, then you will need to revise your maps. If any areas permitted by RBK Construction Company's overlap with your permit area, please describe your respective reclamation responsibilities.
