RE: June 5 Letter from Bradford Jones, File /IM-77-519 Item ll3 It is anticipated that topsoil will be reapplied to affected lands to be revegetated at a depth of at least 6 inches. Existing topsoil stockpiles were reviewed in the field and appear to be sufficient in quantity to pro- vide for at least the six-inch depth stated above. As Phase i progresses there will be little if any additional topsoil to be removed in the mining process. Any such material encountered will be stored in one of the exist- ing topsoil stockpiles for use in the reclamation process. Inadvertently, a part of the soils report from the Soil Conservation Service was omitted from the initial application. I[ is enclosed with this submission and should be included as part of Exhibit I. Item X16 Final delineation and detail of the pond shoreline will be determined as a part of development plan for the post-mining recreation land use. As this final land use will be reviewed upon completion of mining by the Routt County Planning Commission further input from the Division of Wildlife can be obtained at that time to enhance the wildlife and aquatic habitat.
