<br />Mr. Jay Lucas <br />April 20, 1982 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />The following table compares your figures with what the operator consi- <br />ders adequate. <br />MLRB Operator <br />(1) Surface prep. - 1344 cu.yds. 806.00 672.00 <br />(2) Organic material 500.00 400.00 <br />(3) Seeding 200.00 400.00 <br />(4) Fill ? 0 <br />(5) Maintenance & Watering 2,000.00 1,500.00 <br />$3,506.00 $2,691.00 <br />Notice that no cost is suggested for fill. This fill movement is a neces- <br />sary part of the mining operation as mining and reclamation progress there <br />is no need for fill in a disturbed area. <br />Your suggested cost of $3,506 plus #5 (I believe you meant #4) would be <br />$3,506.00 x 50 acres (absolute worst case) _ $175,300. The operator would <br />propose $2,691.00 x 50 acres (absolute worst case) _ $134,550 total bond. <br />Since some of your points regarding costs are well taken and possibly some <br />flow volume short haul fill might be necessary the operator would propose a <br />bond of $150,000. <br />0 <br />Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan <br />The operator has previously planted disturbed areas of this operation in the <br />species, amounts, and spacings as indicated in the submitted annual reports. <br />As you will note, many of the reported plantings differ from the permit pro- <br />posals, and in particular are more species diverse than the permit lists. <br />1 The operator proposes to plant the experimental plantings detailed in the <br />1981 annual report on the upper four benches on the west side of the quarry <br />where the visibility of the quarry is of greatest concern. <br />On the lower benches of the quarry and on the less visibile upper benches <br />the operator proposes to plant the species specified in the permit: mountain <br />mahogany, gambel's oak, wood rose, and chokecherry and would propose to also <br /> <br />
