<br />Mr. J.R. Owen -4- Decemher 7. 1984 <br />Exhibit E <br />1. How will the creek replace material in the creek bed if the dam is <br />left? In this regard, how is the dam to be reclaimed? Will it be removed? <br />2. Reference any general comments concerning sloping in final reclamation <br />of stream channel excavations. <br />Forristal Pit - File No. M-84-181 <br />Exhibit B <br />1. Given the access problems to the proposed new excavation area, it <br />appears that some parts of the old pit will have to be redisturbed, if for <br />nothing more than a haul road segment and perhaps stockpile or parking areas. <br />Such areas should be included in the permit acreage, described in the mining <br />plan, shown exactly on the map and reclaimed. Please clarify the plans in <br />this regard, including reclamation plans for any of these areas. <br />Exhibit G <br />1. Presumably, the legal right to enter for the Earl Forristal Pit {File <br />No. M-84-180) is also to apply to this pit. Please clarify this matter. <br />it Vick Pit - File No. M-84-182 <br />Exhibit B <br />1. I am not clear on what you mean when you describe the area as a <br />"lagoon". Does the area regularly collect water (as a low spot) now? Please <br />clarify this matter. <br />Exhibit D <br />1. The vegetation data for a permit area of 3 acres has not been <br />provided. Presumably some of the permit area is now outside of the "lagoon" <br />area and has vegetation. The Soil Conservation Service should be consulted to <br />provide vegetation information (probably via a completed CO-ECS-2 form) for <br />the entire permit area. <br />2. If the area is to be a stock water hole, but no water is observed there <br />now,, where is this water to be collected from on the site? It is not clear <br />that a water hole will be produced here. <br />Exhibit E <br />1. If it can be demonstrated that water will collect in the reclaimed pit, <br />the banks above the anticipated water line must be reclaimed. Slopes in such <br />a pond area should be no steeper than 3:1 (the 4:1 slope shown on your map <br />would be acceptable). Any slopes above the expected water line should be <br />topsoiled and revegetated. If no water will collect, the entire area may need <br />to be revegetated. I suggest you again consult the S.C.S. for assistance. <br />2. As I mentioned above, the actual feasibility of a water hole as final <br />reclamation for this site should be further justified. <br />
