installed below the proposed new stockpile location to ensure slope stability [Rule 3.1.9 (5)l Please note that the previously approved north Area 21 for topsoil storage is a suitable location that complies with the requirements of Rule 3.1.9. No changes are requested for this Area 21 and Henderson plans to utilize this location in 2003 per the attached drawings. For your information, I have enclosed design details for the topsoil relocation project we intend to initiate this year. The project is laid out in four (4) distinct locations -Area A, B, C, and D. Area A involves the construction of the north haul road, the north ramp, and development of the north stockpile area. The north stockpile area, Area 21 per the approved reclamation plan, will have a road constructed through it and have small trees grubbed out to facilitate the long-term storage of topsoil. Area B work, for this project, simply involves improving the existing lower interceptor canal road to facilitate hauling aggregate to the southwest side of the pond (Area C). Area B, Phase II, involves the construction of an engineered haul road in this area. Area C work involves the construction of a short haul road to the proposed, new southern location for the long-term storage of topsoil and topsoil salvage. Lastly, Area D work involves mining and crushing 15,000 CY of Class 5 aggregate from the Henderson Mill gravel pit to be used in the construction of haul roads. The scope of work also includes the improvement of some existing roads to facilitate aggregate hauling as well as establishing MSHA mandated haul road berms. This project will also involve the insta]lation of two temporary crossings over the interceptor canal. This detail, contemplated early on in the design of this project, was submitted to the Division in a package dated September 24, 2002. Henderson subsequently received approval from the Division for this request on October 2, 2002 and will comply with the one condition put forth in that approval letter. Henderson is planning on completing this project as presented in the enclosed drawings and specifications. Work is scheduled to begin this year, as soon as field conditions allow. The project is expected to take two field seasons to complete with work in Areas A and D scheduled for 2003. Work in Areas B and C are expected to occur in 2004, but may begin earlier. The project is phased to assure that no currently stockpiled topsoil will be inundated. Enclosed is one copy of the project design drawings, the scope of work, specifications A and F covering earthwork and stormwater, a map of the proposed south stockpile location, a notice regarding a recent revision to the haul road design, and a check covering the required technical revision fee.
