~ , iii iiiiiiiiniiiiii <br />~~~ <br />TO: Joe Dudash n , <br />FROM: Sandy Brow.,,//j/'~J <br />DATE: June 29, 1999 <br />~~~ <br />I have reviewed the information you gave me with respect to the Bowie No. 2 Permit <br />Revision. Most of the text appears to be very similar to what they presented previously <br />for TR-6. The vegetation information they have presented is acceptable. However, some <br />of the soils information seems to have changed (or I don't remember what they said). My <br />comments are listed below. <br />Topsoil <br />BRL is proposing to relocate topsoil currently stockpiled in Piles B and C into <br />Pile A. Additionally, topsoil from the areas to be disturbed for the downhill <br />conveyor project will be stored in Pile A as discussed on revised page 2.05-35. <br />BRL states that approximately 20,100 cubic yards of topsoil will be salvaged <br />from the disturbance associated with the downhill conveyor project. Topsoil <br />salvage from construction of Pond B is not specifically addressed. Has it been <br />considered as part of the downhill conveyor project, or does it need it to be <br />addressed? <br />2. BRL notes on revised page 2.05-35 that only about one-half of the topsoil <br />originally inventoried to be salvaged was actually salvaged. Three reasons are <br />listed. Does BRL expect to run into any of these difficulties, or any other <br />difficulties such as oil contamination, during this construction project? Were <br />these difficulties considered in the cubic yard estimates for the conveyor project <br />topsoil salvaging? <br />BRL has previously disturbed the area just north of old Highway 133, east of <br />existing Pond B and southwest of the office area. The DMG is concerned that not <br />all the available topsoil was removed in this area and the DMG will work with <br />BRL to determine if additional topsoil resources are still in place. <br />
