Long <br />Drvmon Director <br />Re: Iron Mountain Road Gravel Pit Application, File No. M-94-092, <br />Adequacy Review Letter <br />Dear Mr. Butler, <br />I have just completed an adequacy review of the above-named permit <br />application, and wish to bring the following items to your <br />attention for their adequacy or further clarification: <br />EXHIBIT A - LEGAL DESCRIPTION <br />Adequate. <br />EXHIBIT B - SITE DESCRIPTION <br />Is it correct that the entrance/access road does not yet exist, and <br />Q~ that it will be constructed solely for the use of the county's <br />gravel pit? Language in the BLM agreement refers to the total <br />reclamation of the road, correct? <br />EXHIBIT C - MINING PLAN <br />You propose to stockpile topsoil in the northwest corner, in the <br />(ail-- 50-foot setback. Will topsoil from all phases of the operation be <br />stockpiled there? Will topsoil hauling to that location occur on <br />a specific onsite road, or will hauling routes vary? <br />The general post-mining land configuration is to be a slight <br />~1.~ depression, which will contain stormwater. The BLM agreement <br />specifies that positive drainage must take place if ponding occurs. <br />Please describe or clarify the surface drainage. <br />What is to be the depth of mining at the pit? What will the slope <br />of the active highwalls be during mining? <br />Please describe the loadout structure in better detail, ie., what <br />~~- it is to be constructed of, is its location to change depending on <br />the area of active excavation, etc.? <br />Temporary topsoil seeding is planned to be performed, but with what <br />~~ mix of species or rate? <br />
