Carlson, <br />The following is in response to your letter of 9/18/86. <br />1. We will agree to double the rate of seeding where it <br />can not be done with a grass drill. <br />2. We recognize our responsibility to establish revegeta- <br />tion of desireable grass and trees. <br />3. (a) We will agree to maintain ro more than 12 acres are <br />disturbed at one time provided it is recognized that the final <br />shaping of the high rock walls in the course of mining also <br />represents areas of final reclamation and therefore, may be <br />released from the summary of total disturbance. <br />(b) Reclamation will be concurrent with mining to every <br />reasonable extent possible. That is, reshaping of walls <br />will be done in the course of mining. Reseeding will be done <br />as soon after the topsoil material is distributed o~i r.he bench <br />areas, for example, as good agronomy practices will allow. <br />(c) See a. above. <br />Sequential reclamation will follow the reclamation plan as <br />originally submitted and expanded upon in our response dated <br />August 26, 1986. Initial mining and subsequent reclamation <br />will be completed on the high caall located in Phase 1 both in <br />the course of mining and before significant activity begins <br />in Phase 2, except that grass seeding in Phase 1 will be done <br />concurrently with opening activity in Phase 2. The mine floor <br />area of Phase 1 will be reclaimed as one of the last activities <br />in the reclamation process at the site, unless the area in <br />cuestion is not needed for the efficient operation of the mine <br />in Phase 2. Any islands of trees and grass that can be reason- <br />ably established on the mine floor without adversely effecting <br />the movement of eeuipment and materials in the course of mining, <br />will be established as a demonstration of a good faith effort <br />to reduce the extent of unreclaimed mine floor. <br />4. ~4e will agree to maximize r_he area of reclamation to the <br />extent of available topsoil material can be salvaged from the <br />mining activity, consistent with good agronomy practices. <br />Sincerel , <br />cc: C b: C Sand /~ <br />I~f~al aPP <br />
