<br />Harold A. Winter 3 October 16, 1985 <br />Exhibit D - Wildlife, Water, Vegetation and Soils <br />/1. Wildlife: Do you plan to follow the Division of Wildlife's <br />/y~\ recommendations concerning creation of brush piles for habitat for small <br />animals? Please justify your plans in this regard. <br />2. Vegetation: Please provide an on-site inventory of existing vegetation, <br />Typically, the Soil Conservation Service does an inventory of the site and <br />V provides a completed copy of their CO-ECS-2 form for this purpose. This <br />/~\ on-site inventory is required and will allow our staff to determine the <br />appropriateness of your reclamation plans. <br />3. Soils: Given the fact that your precise permit boundaries are not shown <br />on the map provided by the S.C.S., it is difficult to determine exactly <br />which soils will be available for salvage. Please provide a more accurate <br />assessment of the quality and quantity of topsoil on the permit area. <br />Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan <br />I/ 1. Please verify that your reclamation plan will indeed be the one <br />~( recommended to you by the Soil Conservation Service. <br />2. Please justify the planned topsoil replacement depth of 4". Presumably, <br />~/ this is related to the amount of topsoil available on the proposed permit <br />/~(~ area. This will be clarified by your answer to the question concerning <br />topsoil under Exhibit D. <br />3. The reclamation plan for the haul road should be given (if it is to be a <br />\ part of the permit area). If you wish to continue to use the haul road <br />/~(\ for access to the area (rather than planting the area) please so state, <br />and this will be acceptable. Otherwise, a reseeding plan should be given. <br />Exhibit H - Reclamation Costs <br />( .1. Given the estimate of reclamation costs provided, I will plan to recommend <br />x to the Board that the amount of the financial warranty be set at X5,000. <br />I have tried to be as comprehensive as possible in this review so as to <br />minimize our necessary correspondence. Please feel free to call me if you <br />have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Mark S. Loye <br />Senior Reclamation Specialist <br />MSL/srs <br />4167E <br />
