C~ Division of Minerals Attn: Ma. Kamnikar September 26, 2000 Page 5 and Geology C~ EXCAVATION AND LAND LEVELING OPERATIONS, Section 4, ¶ 5 (Exhibit "C"); and the Reclamation Plan (Exhibit "E") to reflect a west to east mining progression to mitigate impact to wildlife & to limit soil disturbance. 5. Mining Operations. Reference Exhibit "C" (e.g., sheet 1/4, MINING, EXCAVATION AND LAND LEVELING OPERATIONS, Section 4, ¶ 6), revise to specify portable screen processing operations. 6. Onsite Storage. Reference Exhibit "C" (e.g., sheet 1/4, MINING, EXCAVATION AND LAND LEVELING OPERATIONS, Section 4, ¶ 7), stipulate that no storage of any fuels or other hazardous materials onsite is planned per Mr. Phillips (Rule 3.1.7 (6) (b) (ii) (B)) . 7. Improved Mitigation. Require that complete climate information be provided, specifically as it relates to seasonal wind direction and velocity (Rule 6.4.11). Many of the following suggestions arose out of a June 26, 2000 meeting among interested parties and various representatives of interested county and state agencies: • Ground-frost end of November through mid-March. • High wind erosion end of November through mid-April, prevailing wind direction is from the northwest. Less erosive summer and fall winds, prevailing wind direction is from the south. (Reference Robert Zebroski/State Soil Conservation Board and Daniel Parker/Consultant.) • Require anemometer to monitor wind force & speed, no earth- moving operations when wind exceeds 30 mph. (Reference Lynn Robbio Wagner/Tri-County Health.) • Establish a living snow/wind fence. Awell-established fence will mitigate the impact of visual blight, noise and highly erosive winter winds; aid in containment of fugitive particulate; stabilize the buffer zone to mitigate water erosion of mined/reclaimed areas; and provide a natural screen to mitigate mine impact on area wildlife.
