In conclusion, we believe the current plan addresses the hydrologic concerns of the river <br />as well as the concerns of the landowners. It should be emphasized that this amendment is <br />only for lake mining. The river mining is approved with the DMG and the County but <br />must be renewed with the COE. We urge the residents to read the plan thoroughly. We <br />have spent considerable time and expense in making this permit sensitive to the concerns <br />mentioned in the letters and we plan on spending large sums of money on the jetty, the <br />embankment concrete, the erosion lining, the topsoiling and vegetation in order to make <br />the plan solid. <br />Also, please emphasize to the residents that problems associated with the river mining <br />years ago were the result of a lack of understanding the river processes. These are now <br />better understood and the restrictions on mining coupled with the strict monitoring of <br />cross-sections will prevent any future problems. The upcoming revision to eliminate the <br />dike berm will further restore the river to a more natural condition. It is our intention to <br />work with neighbors and regulatory agencies to develop and environmentally sound <br />reclamation and sustainable mining plan for this area. <br />Thank you. <br />7 <br />
