Anew category sought to locate the approximate location for storage during quarry activities. While storage locations occur predomin former Prelaw Affected Lands, their locations are subject to c quarrying advances over the permit area over time. Due to the sever disturbance of the Prelaw Affected Lands, storage of stone on Prela safer due to the flatter profile on the hillside, while minimizing distu Unaffected Lands. Since the storage activity is not deteriorating the character of Prelaw Affected Lands, the practice should be encourag serves to minimize overall impact. Further, since there is no detrime to the Prelaw Affected Lands, th s age are should count the , Prelaw Affected Land for purposes of accoun ing, except where stor are not able to be located on Prelaw Affected Land. In those instance or future, storage areas not on Prelaw Affected Land would count t total Affected Lands until reclaimed and released by the Division. of stone ttiy over ange as state of lands is Dance of tature or I since it tal affect game ash ~ fe areas ~ /~ ,existing ward the ? Having verified irregular boundaries with an accuracy unequaled by other means, and to survey accuracy, accounting of acreages of Affected ands can be accomplished with great confidence. This is a major objecti a of the approved Conversion Permit. Along with the measurements comes the initial necessity for the Division to verify in the field the interpretation of th lands so identified, and to adjust the financial warranty to reflect the actual ture and extent of the disturbed lands. Tandem with this consideration is the nalization of the manner and method of accounting that will allow the financial arranty to 'float' over the property, thereby encouraging concurrent reclamation. The accounting system approved in the Conversion provides for the exclusion of Prelaw Affected Lands from being included in the total of Affecte Lands to be warranted for. Once verified in the field by the Division, the lands so identified and measured will function as a credit toward the financi I warranty on an acre for acre basis, or as otherwise determined, below. For example: The initial warranty estimate could not take into a count the Prelaw Affected Land in the estimate, since verification of the nature nd extent of the Prelaw Affected Lands had not been completed on the grown ,pending receipt of the revised aerial survey map. Once field veri ication is accomplished, the Prelaw Affected Lands will no longer be include in the 25 acres of Affected Land, as provided for in the Conversion. Assuming the entire 7.79 acres of Prelaw land is verified, this would reduce the 2 .63 acres measured in the 1997 aerial photograph to 12.84 acres. Other acr s may be factored out as well, as discussed further below, but for purpos s of this example, assume that 12.84 acres of affected land will be acc unted for, leaving a balance of 12.16 acres available for quarry expansion. The warranty provided for under the Conversion was a gross es imate that provided for 12 acres of extraction, with the balance comprising oads and Marginally Affected Lands for a total of 18 acres. The remaining 7.0 acres was 3 Rocky Road Investment, Inc. Technical Revision of 30 January 1998 for M 5-210.
