' ~ fihe Division completed a technical review of your conversion application. Following are a few
items that need to be addressed in order to meet the minimum requirements of the Act/Mineral
Rules and Regulations:
1. Exhibit D -will the highwalls be mined at a 3:1 gradient during mining or will they be.

Please state the depth and thickness of the deposit to be mined.
Please describe the nature of the stratum imn3eadiately beneath the material to be mined.
2. Exhibit E -please provide a signed and notarized document from the landowner stating
that he wants the access road Left as is when mining ceases so he can access his property

There are two refuse piles (tree slash) located in the existing permit area. What does the

reclamation. If it is not going to be used to mulch the area it must be removed and
properly disposed of.

response to this adequacy letter.
Please file a copy of this letter and a copy of your response with the County Clerk and Recorder
