If seepage is reduc to a <br />minimal state versus a free flowing discharge, our concerns regardin berm <br />stability and water quality (heavy metals in discharge) will have bee answered. <br />However, we recommend that this project be monitored to detect seepa problems, <br />and we recommend that operation of the project be contingent on mini 1 seepage <br />or discharge levels. <br />Finally, the Division reiterates previous comments to topsoil and rev getate <br />all disturbed lands within the permit boundaries as opposed to only t ose lands <br />excavated or otherwise substantially altered. <br />Given the level of progress recently attained in answering Division ( DOW) concerns, <br />2 no longer see a need to attend MLRD prehearings or board meetings t provide <br />personal testimony. However, If Jim Jones or I can be of further ass'stance in <br />supplying you or your staff information, please give me a call. <br />Sincerely, <br />i <br />Bruce Goforth <br />t Senior Wildlife~Biologist <br />-cont- <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES.
