r ~• <br />3 Meeker Mines Phase II Bond Release Meeting: June 30, 1993 <br />lands. Greg Lewicki questioned if the methodology of using the <br />sediment pond history is acceptable and feels it to be more <br />reliable than site collection or sedcad modelling. Steve Rathbun <br />agreed that this methodology might be accurate but the problem lies <br />with the Division setting the standard. <br />• DMG will approve an acceptable standard for allowable sediment <br />contributions. <br />Facilities issue. The landowner has requested that a trailer <br />foundation and a graveled parking area remain for hunting camp or <br />potential cabin use. The Division approved the retention of these <br />structures and has received a letter from the landowner for this <br />request. Steve Rathbun contends that the Division needs to approve <br />an alternate post-mining land use for this small (less than 1 acre) <br />area. A hunting camp/possible cabin would be considered <br />residential/recreational not grazing/wildlife. Furthermore, the <br />post-mining land use needs to be implemented within two years of <br />grading. Mike Walker has records of when the land owner started <br />conducting his hunting camps so the feasible implementation should <br />be OK. Greg Lewicki asked if the shed remaining on site needs to <br />be included in this land-use change. The landowner uses it for <br />storing and dressing game during hunting season. OSM's answer was <br />"yes", include the shed in the post-mining land use change. <br />• The operator will submit to the Division a proposed land use <br />change for the areas in question. <br />The meeting concluded with a restating to verify that all were in <br />agreement of who needed to submit what: <br />• The DMG will locate verification of this inspection report and <br />provide it to OSM:AFO. <br />• Mike Savage will submit "f" tests demonstrating homogeneity of <br />the populations. <br />The DMG will provide OSM our statistical analysis <br />• DMG will approve an acceptable standard for allowable sediment <br />contributions. <br />• The operator will submit to the Division a proposed land use <br />change for the areas in question. <br />m:\coal\jhb\meeker.br <br />
