ENVINOHMENT, IN G. • • PAGE 2 SEPTEMOER 7, 1949 honored tradition as they have a good working relationship with their neighbors. The maps show all permanent manmade structures and the owners on. Map Exhibits Cn and Ca-as required by Rule 6.4.3(g). Thanks for the reminder. 6. It is shown on the Mining Plan North Area - Map Exhibit C-ln Note how the map shows that the slopes along Coffman Road are eloped 3:1, so if mining ended prematurely no additional work would be necessary. Thank you for your recommendation on the mining method along the road. we realize that we will be responsible for any damage to the road as well as for disturbing area outside our permit if our method of.mining causes damage. We have no idea at this time where we will stockpile topsoil or what direction we will mine within each stage. That will depend on the site conditions, depth of material,-amount of topsoil actually encountered and the demonda for moteriel at the time mining takes place. In general we will stockpile topsoil along the setbacks around the mined Brea. Showing their location will only confuse thing later if we decide to change their location. Our experience on the areap mined south of the river indicate that initially we have to atoek pile soil initially, but reach a time in each stage when we begin to replace it on completed slopes as i't is stripped. we do not expect any changes on the north area. As for the direction of mining on the north area we will work away from the north side of Stage 3-Part A in a counter clock wise direction. Map Exhibit~C-ln and C-la ahowa this in the partially mined areas in Stages 3 - Part A, 3 - Part B and 4 - Part A. In Stage 2 - Pert B, we will mine up stream from north to south. 8. This was intended to be an average depth for the area along the river and was based on holes dug with a backhoe. The conditions we find now have changed and the gravel varies from 10 to 30 feet deep on the entire site'. we are directed by state law to moxi- mize the extraction of moterial from the mine and have mined to the bottom of the reserve and can now depict the actual condi- tions instead of the thegretical.thickness stated in 1977. Remember that we are working with 5 foot contours on these maps and show the depth a's 25 feet (existing text 4'+15'19'). We feel the maps accurately ahowa how deep we think the mined area will eventually be and our reclamation plan addresses how we will reclaim the slopes no matter the depth of the mining. 9. Thank you for your recommendation. We will take it under advise- ment. Remember we are reclaiming .the lake Brea on this site as a private recreation area and any wildlife habitat created will be incidental to our final use. The rest is being reclaimed as work area and feed areas. 10. Our practices include all three methods of creating slopes de- pending on what we encounter as mining progresses. Currently in Stage 2 - Part A we are mining neariy vertical end plan to backfill the elopes will excess overburden found on the site. This ie laid in and compacted using earth moving equipment normal to fill construction. Our experience in Stage 1 ahowa that this equipment compacts the fill material adequately'so that when water refills the lake the elopes remain stable. The material is not stockpiled as it is removed from the area to be mined next,
