<br />Henderson Permit #77-342 <br />March 19, 1981 <br />Page Nine <br />fawning/calving areas are generally found further <br />down the Williams Fork valley to the north of Lost <br />Creek and one main migration route is to the west <br />along the Williams Fork Mountains and across Ute <br />Pass. <br />3. Please describe how wildlife will be protected and any <br />proposed mitigation measures. <br />The land management policy described in Section 6.7 <br />of the existing permit has proven very successful. <br />The thousands of acres of public land and the <br />thousands of acres of private land opened to the <br />public because of the construction of our complex <br />are being used but not abused. The public is <br />welcome on all AMAX land except where industrial <br />activities are ongoing, and, as previously <br />indicated, elk and deer appear to be using the <br />perimeter of the industrial areas as a refuge. The <br />reservoir will not be accessible to the public by <br />vehicle. Once constructed, it will probably be <br />managed in much the same manner as our other <br />non-industrial lands. <br />G. Soils Information <br />1. Please submit a site specific soil inventory and map in <br />sufficient detail and clarity to portray the lands <br />covered by this amendment. The soils map submitted in <br />the original application is not adequate to portray what <br />soils will be affected. <br />Neither the Act nor the Rules and Regulations of <br />the State Mined Land Reclamation Board require a <br />soils map. The requirement is a map oc a statement <br />showing "...the thickness and distribution of soil <br />over the area in question, including the affected <br />land." Section 6.2 of the original application <br />provides such a statement for all soils on AMAX <br />property and also provides a specific map and <br />detailed descriptions of soils within the tailing <br />basin slated for stockpiling. Topsoil stockpiling <br />is only required ..where it is necessary to <br />remove overburden in order to mine the mineral..." <br />As required, we are stockpiling topsoil in our <br />aggregate operations. We are stockpiling soil from <br />within the tailing basin to be used in reclaiming <br />the tailing because we feel its use will result in <br />
