Also, <br /> we have forwarded your letter on to the MLR Board members . <br /> Issue 1 - TOPSOIL AND FUTURE LAND USE - <br /> Items 1 (a) (b) (c) (e) (g) (h) (i) (j ) (k) <br /> Response <br /> The Division of Minerals and Geology (The Division) assumes that <br /> your "no commitment to topsoiling" comment refers to the request <br /> for an amendment by the operator received by the Division on May <br /> 1, 1989 . <br /> On the second page of the narrative of this submittal the <br /> applicant proposes that "the dry land be topsoiled according to <br /> the amount of topsoil available on site rather than the 6 to 8 <br /> inches . " This was not a request for spreading no topsoil but <br /> rather is a commitment to spreading the topsoil which is on the <br /> site. Such a request is in conformance with Rule 3 . 1 . 9 (1) of the <br /> Construction Materials Rules which states "Where it is necessary <br /> to remove overburden in order to mine the construction material , <br /> topsoil shall be removed and segregated from other spoil . <br />
