A !` . Mr. James B. McArdle Mined Land Reclamation May 13, 1982 Page 3 \J 7. Our application states that topsoil stockpiles will be revegetated if they remain in place longer than one growing season in accordance with the Soil Conservation Service recommendations. These stockpiles will be allowed to revegetate naturally or seeded, if required. Those recommendations are presented in our application under Exhibit AA and ~{< may be found in the next to last, and last, paragraphs of the letter dated December 13, 1981 received from Jim Hamilton, District Conserva- tionist. Should the Soil Conservation Service believe that a recom- mendation change is required, we intend to comply with that recommenda- tion. ~,,,~n S ~ ^y oy 8. - ` To our knowledge, there are no areas within the permit boundaries that Nv~ ye9 ~ may. ~ y ~ could be classified as wetlands as defined by the U.S. Army Corps of ~k -a qP' p/jQ Engineers. •f~ 5 .T.

The plant, scale house, and offices will be at one of three locations during the course of ,the mining operation: Location 1 - The south end of the access road to the north. Location 2 - East of the I-25 Service Road and north of St. Vrain Creek. Location 3 - East of the Service Road to I-25 and south ~~~ of St. Vrain Creek about mid-way between St. Vrain Creek and the south boundary of the Siegrist property. Each of these control locations will consist of approximately one acre for the main control facilities with 5 acres utilized for the actual crushing, plant site, stockpile areas and associated roadways. The principle roadways are shown on the plans which accompany the application. ll. The plans show an undisturbed buffer strip of 100 feet between the centerline of St. Vrain Creek and any mine disturbance. The plans also show that replacement of the overburden material will result in a buffer zone of from 150 to 200 feet from the centerline of the stream. Only the east 1/2 mile of the Siegrist property included in this application is undisturbed at the present time. All other areas adjacent to the river have been disturbed by previous owners and have,
