<br />Hr. Charms Bnrry, Eaq. <br />December 29, 1978 <br />-2- <br />information and submit it with the application. <br />(7) No information on soils or vegestation were submitted with <br />any of the applications. <br />(8) No reclamation plan, and no mining plan were submitted for <br />any of the gravel pits. This is the heart of any appli- <br />cation, although neither submission need bc• complex. State <br />law requires a permit, in order to assure that reclamation <br />of affected land will take place. The aeeurance cannot be <br />given without some information about how the mining, will be <br />done, and about lima reclamation will take place. <br />(?) Proof of local government approval Wee not submitted. In <br />most instances, the only local government entity is the <br />county, and I would assume that it ~~ould not be difti.cu].t <br />for one C•.1 Faso county a^onry m obtain approval from an- <br />other. <br />(1~) Reclama!!on costa have not bean a_cti.m.ated. Although this is <br />not required of. counties (}+PCause tlic normal bonding process <br />dose not apply), t.t might ~~~ hnlrfnl to you in nrJnr r.o estimate <br />the impact, if. am+, on vonr annual bv~~et. <br />In simnnary, the applications subml.[ted by P.1 taco ore not adequate, and <br />permits simply could not be Pranted heae+l nn the information that has been <br />submitted. The applicati.nn procA~a~~r~ for n "17n" (limited i.t^Pact -- lees <br />than 10 acres) permit is not ovorlp cnmplrx or expensive. itost counties <br />have complied with the law, or n.re: md~inq 9.ood faith efforts to du so. <br />F7e have sent aaaple applications to *'r.. Bryant to +~ork fron. 1?acl~ appli- <br />cation should he prepared individi:nl.lc not on one Zproxed form ~+I~cre all <br />tl:e blanks are filled in with the identical information. <br />Based on sur phone conversation of today, I understand that the county <br />may not have the manpower to submit all the applications at once. However, <br />it would probably be to your adventaBe to aul~mit complete and adequate appli- <br />cations on at least some of these gravel pits prior to the next board meeting. <br />I have enclosed en approved county application which may aeniat you. If <br />you require further advice or assistance, please call me, Ptarl::lcifner, or <br />Jim Schmieding. <br />Sincerely, <br />Hamlet J.
