Mr. J.R. Owen • -2- • December 7, 1934 Questions Concerning All Ten Applications Exhibit A - Legal Description The shortened form of the legal description given both in Exhibit A and in the performance warranty needs to be expanded into a more standard form. Yith your permission, I will interpret Exhibit A for all of the pits to mean the following: The first number will be the Section number; the second nu~ber will be a Township South; and the third number will be a Range West of the 6th P.M. Again, with your permission, I will change the Exhibit A page on the ten performance warranties to reflect this more standard format. Thus, for the Earl Forristal Pit (file no. M-84-180) the legal description of "NE 1/4, NtJ 1/4 30-12-54" becomes "NE 1/4, NW 1/4, Sec. 30, T12S, R544! of the 6th P.h1.", and the other mine operations are treated in like fashion. Please confirm to me that you have no abjection to this change for these legal descriptions. Exhibit B - Mining Plan 1. For each of the ten operations, an estimate of the life of the ®ining operation should be given. If any or all of the operations are truly indefinite in duration, please try to give a best guess for the probable duration of mining. 2. The depth of mining in each pit should be given. 3. It is evident that each of these pits will be mined somewhat sporadically. You should state that these operations will be mined for less than 180 days/year as apart of the plan, and that this irregular use should not be construed to mean that any of these operations should be considered to be in temporary cessation of operations. 4. Although the availability of topsoil on the sites is variable, Lincoln County should commit to salvaging all available topsoil, in each case. Topsoil stockpiles should be placed away from the active mining areas and planted with a perennial grass cover crop for purposes of stabilization against wind and water erosion. The Soil Conservation Service can recommend an appropriate cover species and seeding rate for this purpose. 5. Planned depth of topsoil removal should be given where it can be specified. 6. In each case where the basic mining plan is to extract from a stream channel, any topsoil stripped should be stockpiled outside of the channel, above the high-water mark. Product stockpiles should also not be left for any long period of time.
