~= ~ ~ <br />Mr. Jae Hccher <br />January 15, 1981 <br />Page 1~0 <br />8HBI8IT E - Heclamation Phan <br />1. You claim that you want a steep elope as a break area. TJill this be a <br />steep headva114 What will bo the relief of this alope4 Please show on <br />map. <br />2. Steep elopes invariably havo probloma with runoff and accmlerated erosion. <br />What measures will you provide to control/prevent eraeion4 <br />3. Your proposal for natural revegetaelon is unusual and deserves several <br />consenes. Steep elopes erode qu~~Kly unless they are lmrsedietely stabi- <br />lized. I taoul.d agsee that the relatively flat areas arnuad the calving <br />areas could be left alone, but anises there are very spacial circ~meteacae <br />involved at this site, I am surprised the BCS would eves suggmet natural <br />revegatation on steep windbreak type elopes. It goes against very basic <br />ecological coacepto, and unless convinced, I will not agreo to this method <br />of revegetation. Y will however, recommend s seed min for the site. We <br />can disease this later. <br />6. Whae will be the masiman slopo of the reclaimed site, particularly the <br />steep Hindbrmaka? <br />EIaiLHIT R - Reclamation Costa <br />As I had discussed with you on the phone, I spoke to our Director, Dave <br />Shelton, about your surety proposal. He oaid the State will require s bond <br />because: <br />1. The State bases its surety requirements on costs to reclaim in <br />the evens of a default of the operator. These costs arm not <br />based on what it trould coat for the operator, but what it would <br />coat the Seats ea contract ont thin labor. <br />2. Although a calving area ie beneficial to you, the 8eate would <br />probably nos keep iC ae such but regards the elopes and revegetate <br />the site. <br />Given this information, please submit an estimate on costa to regrade the steep <br />slopes folloving mining, seedbed preparation (topsoil replacement, diacing), <br />seeding and mulching for the mine acres. <br />OTHER <br />Please send proof of publication notices to adjacent landowners and the <br />newspaper public notices. <br />If rou have anq questions, please call. <br />Sincerely, <br />t4tke 6tanton <br />Reclamation Specisliat <br />t9s/gym <br />
