<br />M-89-030 Conversion <br />11/17/97 <br />page 2 <br />application before I received it for review. I now presume that this correction was not <br />communicated to you by them; I did not let you know, and apologize for this small oversight.) <br />Exhibit P. -Legal Description <br />The language included herein describes a 50-acre block, and accurately corresponds to the area <br />depicted on the revised maps (an additional ten acres to the east of the area origonally included in <br />the conversion). <br />Exhibit C' -Pre-mining and Mining Plan Maps <br />The map:> included in this submittal are adequate for the purposes of t}te application. Among all <br />the additional information included, thank you for delineating the affected area around the post- <br />mining contours. The present 110 permit area delineated may refer more meaningfully to its <br />approximate spatial location than strictly its specific size, in that it depicts an area of less than 8 <br />acres. Tlie maps, however, now contain the information necessary to monitor the operation. <br />Exhibit D~ -Mining Plan <br />This description of the operation is now complete. <br />Exhibit E -Reclamation plan <br />This description of the concurrent reclamation is complete. The only question I have is, at what <br />point is a soil sample to be used for fertilizer needs? It seems to indicate that this will be done at <br />the end of all mining, even though you have stated that reclamation will be performed periodically. <br />Please clarify this item, and indicate if a series of samples will be taken over time. <br />Exhibit F -Reclamation Map <br />The map now included is adequate for the application. The contours clearly show the extent of <br />the minin;;, and which features are to be removed at its conclusion. <br />Exhibit L -Reclamation Costs <br />Though there is no change to the information submitted, other exhibits' additions supplement this <br />exhibit now. You have committed to reclaiming areas of up to five acres that are not to be used <br />any longer, and to limit the overall disturbed are to ten acres. Since costs include earthwork to <br />reduce slopes from 2:1 to 3:1, topsoiling at a depth of 6 to 12 inches, mulching 2 tons of straw <br />per acre, and possibly fertilizing, expenses may range around t}te $1200 per acre figure you <br />provided. <br />Exhibit M: -Other Permits and Licenses <br />The information appears to be complete in this submittal now. <br />Exhibit N -Source of Legal Right to Enter <br />
