D. A. Berry August 28, 1992 Page 2 5) Enclosed is a new drawing number 11-3 which shows the sediment pond configuration as of October 31, 1991. The sediment pond stage filling diagram on the drawing shows that the existing sediment pond configuration satisfies the pond sizing calculations presented in Exhibit 11. Also enclosed is a new Map Index, page xi which incorporates the new map. Other Technical Revision Items Page 2.05-32R was revised to make it clear in the reclamation plan that concrete foundations would be buried on site. Page 2.05-35 was revised to clear up the issue regarding seedling transplants. During the 1990 mid-term review Bear committed to planting narrowleaf cottonwood and willow along the riparian area. See page 2.05-41 paragraph 2 & 3 for this commitment. It was the intent at that time to remove the commitment to transplant the Choke Cherry, Gambel oak and Wood Rose. Item #35 of the 1990 mid- term review document addressed this issue. The mid-term review document asked for a price to transplant seedlings. Bear responded that it did not think that transplanting seedlings was necessary. The Division and Bear agreed to delete the necessity to transplant the Choke Cherry, Gambel oak and wood Rose and replace that commitment with the requirement to transplant cottonwood and willows if necessary as explained on page 2.05-41. Page 2.05-39R was revised to confirm that the concrete foundations would be buried on site. Enclosed is an application for a technical revision which will incorporate the above revised permit pages and maps into the approved permit.
