r 6 J• 18, 1985 Daniel's Pit 2 C. Farrell In conclusion, the possible adverse effects on the powerline by Daniel's Sand is considerably less than the possible adverse effects produced by the presence of Academy Boulevard. By reducing the slope above the powerpoles and creating a stable 3:1 slope to the east, if anything, the possible adverse effects will be reduced over their current condition. As is the case with the highway, this plan provides for an improvement in the stability of valuable man-made structures rather than increasing the risk. Item 3 - Please illustrate the location of power poles/line on Map C. RESPONSE: Although not specifically labelled, the poles are shown on the map. These poles can be seen as pairs of small circles located at regular intervals along a north/south line just east of Academy Boulevard. They can be found in approximately the center of the labelled 100' electric easement shown on Exhibit C. Item 4 - Contrary to Exhibit D - Mining Plan, the topsoil stockpiles are not shown on P1ap C. Please provide topsoil stockpile locations on Map C. RESPONSE: On Exhibit C a note is provided just above the map legend which states that topsoil stockpiling will occur along the perimeter of the approximate mining limit. On the map, one topsoil stockpile is shown. It extends between the affected land boundary and the permit boundary from just east of the Academy Boulevard and Drennan Road intersection eastward along Drennan and then south part way around the Muelheisen and Green property. This is a very old stockpile which goes back many years. It was built there as a visual berm to shield the view from the property to the north of Drennan Road. Although we admit this is a rather unusual way to stockpile topsoil, when the mining plan is considered it is about the only way to stockpile topsoil economically and have it in the proper location for use when the operation is completed. Any other method of stockpiling would require a continual shifting of the stockpiles which is both very expensive as well as not particularly healthy for the soil as each movement causes further degredation. Exhibit D - DlininQ Plan Item 1 - Upon reviewing the Annual Reports submitted for this operation, it seems that Phase Iw has been previously mined. Please provide total acreages and location of: a, land previously mined; b. land reclaimed; c. land to be mined; and d. total affected land.
