I request that all areas to be revegetated <br /> ba changed to "Rangeland". I would also like your suggestion as to <br /> what to designate the areas that will not be vegetated. <br /> Per your suggestion, I have contacted the Soil Conservation Service <br /> of Elbert County. Please find attached the comments of Anthony Puga. <br /> Mr. Puga states that.tha topsoil that is present is located near the <br /> base of the knoll and should be stockpiled and then spread and seeded. <br /> Wa have already agreed to do this. Alr. Puga also states "tops of knolls <br /> are very harsh, calcined clay with no organic type topsoil present". <br /> In answer to my question, Mr. Puga has also suggested what he considers <br /> to be the best seed mixture for this area if revegetation were attempted. <br /> Ha also states that our chances of establishing any grass stand is <br /> minimal. Since these knolls are virtually barren to start with, were <br /> barren when mining started, and will probably ba barren no matter what <br /> is planted, (excepting, of course, if topsoil were trucked in) the <br /> <br />Robinson Brick Company should not be required to ravegetate. <br />Per your suggestion, Robco will leave the post-law disturbed areas <br />' that do not require topsoil somewhat uneven and covered with a few <br />inches of calcined clay. Compaction of the calcined clay is not <br />necessary since it acts like gravel when used as abase material. <br />Buffalo 112 Mine - Amendment <br />Proof of publication and notification to the adjacent landowner is <br />included with this letter. Elbert County has stated they are sending <br />a latter confisminQ that wo conform to the zoning in this area. <br /> <br />..,... <br />P.O.
