<br /> <br />Ms. Carol Pahlke <br />Mined Land Reclamation <br />April 30, 1979 <br />(3) We cannot commit to the engineering design of either the road or the <br />ditch crossing at this tune. It is not required under the statute or <br />the rules and regulations. <br />(4) As far as we know, the range of overburden thickness will be reasonably <br />consistent throughout the area and will apply to all stages. <br />(5) On-site equipment is listed in paragraph 3, page 9. Available soils <br />will be scraped and segregated to the best of our ability. We cannot <br />and will not be tied down to a specific spot for soil storage. In <br />general, soils will be stored on the east side of the area shown for <br />overburden on map D-1. <br />(b) There will be no soil stripping from the area of the roads. We do not <br />deem it wise to strip an area that may be used for overburden stockpiles, <br />thus creating barren spots if they are not used. <br />(7) If you will return all Four D-1 maps, we will label the general area <br />used for stockpiling. It is the same area used for the office shack <br />and truck storage. <br />(8) Please refer to the last sentence on page 9 and on page 18. No. Water. <br />on clay makes it slick as a peeled grape. <br />(9) No. We operate. <br />F.xhihit F. <br />(1) (a) No. Consult with C.G.S. <br />(b) Pre-1973 overburden will not be used. <br />(2) No comments - see Exhibit G. <br />(3) We will not provide final design details at this time. We picture a <br />small excavation of approximately 1'~ feet deep and 1~ feeE wide with the <br />excavated material used to create the berm along the east side of the <br />excavated ditch. The ditch would be encountered first. This structure <br />would be created about 10 feet back from the west perimeter of the pit <br />in Stages 0, I and II. <br />(4) Since no construction is planned, compaction processes are not contem- <br />plated during the backfill process. Equipment movement over the backfill <br />should be sufficient to stabilize the area for the reclamation planned. <br />2 <br />(5) Part of the area to be mined has no soil and some has as much as six inches. <br />We have said that "Soils will be used to cover areas to be revegetated to <br />a depth of at least six inches, as lon as soil materials last". If the <br />MLRB staff wishes to designate such areas, please advise. No soil will <br />be trucked into this desert-like location. <br /> <br />
