Watcher <br />E0.ecmive Drteaor <br />Michael q, long <br />Dlrenor <br />11tis is to acknowledge the Division's receipt of your letter of January 18, 1999 requesting an extension of <br />the review period for the reclamation cost estimate provided to you by Tim Dillie on November l7, 1998. <br />Based on our meeting on 7anuary l4, 1999, the Division is agreeable to extending that review period to <br />May 31, 1999. Such an extension will allow the site to be inspected in May and verification madc of <br />reclamation completed in order that revision of the reclamation cost estimate might be considered. M <br />inspection in May will also allow a demonstration to be made of there being enough topsoil available at the <br />site for the Division to consider a revision of the reclamation plan eliminating the current permit <br />requirement that topsoil be imported for reclamation purposes. If approved, such a revision would also beaz <br />on the reclamation cost estimate. <br />~p Therefore, prior to the Division's inspection in May, Burala Construction should provide a map which 1) <br />~. ,~ V ®illustrates the reclamation that has been completed at tho site and 2) provides data both on the thickness and <br />~ extent of topsoil on site such that an estimate can be made of the volume of topsoil present. <br />- ~, ~~.
