Exhibit G - Water Information Page 4 Water will not be required for crushing purposes. Exhibit H - Wildlife Information, Page 4 A Wildlife statement dated June 7, 1985 is enclosed. Exhibit I - Soils Information, Page 4 Copy of Soil Conservation Service Soils and Vegetation Baseline Data, dated June 4, 1985, is enclosed. Exhibit J - Vegetation Information, Page 4 Copy of Soil Conservation Service Soils and Vegetation Data is Enclosed. The Soil Conservatiod'Service Report shows 27 planned acres. This should be 40 acres. Exhibit L - Reclamation Costs, Page 5 We have stated in our reclamation plan that the backfilling of the quarry would be carried on simultaneously with our mining operation. The overburden is brought to the bottom of the quarry to create the series of reclaimed benches and from time to time, we will move our crushing operation up onto one of these new benches. Therefore, the majority of our reclaiming becomes part of our mining cost. The resulting reclamation costs would be final grading and contouring, spreading topsoil, revegetation, mulching and fertilizing. Because of this type of operation, it is nearly impossible to arrive at quantities except for the revegetation. The quantity of topsoil respreading is also an unknown because the area is dominated by rock outcrops, as the Soil Conservation Service reports. We will respread all topsoil we can salvage. Due tQ the difficulties in determining these quantities, we would like to suggest that the warranty be arrived at the same as is done for a 111 Permit. That is $2500.00 per acre. We would furnish a Corporate Surety Bond as financial warranty for the entire 40 acres.
