The oversteepened slopes on the southern edge of the <br />disturbed area contain significant gully erosion. These <br />include the outslope downgradient of the equipment stor- <br />• age yard and the outslope downgradient of the office and <br />shop. Please address how these slopes will be repaired <br />and reclaimed. <br />Reply Item 7 <br />The word "significant" erosion is in our opinion an ex- <br />aggeration of the temporary slope condition. We felt <br />that an expert opinion should address this. We deliv- <br />ered a copy of your letter to the Delta County Soil Con- <br />servation Service for their recommendation, Paul Obert <br />had inspected the site late in December of 1993 and did <br />not feel it was a significant issue, although he made an <br />additional inspection March 24. Following is his reply. <br />Please refer to the Conversion Application, Mining <br />Plan-Exhibit D, item a and ((e)); "The overburden moved <br />in the first 15 years will be used to reclaim." Benson <br />Brothers do not have a specific timetable but more <br />overburden will be moved to the slope in question, and <br />certainly provide control best suited to restrict ero- <br />sion. Benson Brothers Aggregate certainly appreciate <br />Paul Obert's time and advice and will follow his recom- <br />mendations as Plan A, Plan B or Plan C etc. <br />Sincerlel/y, <br />~~ <br />Katie Benson 2138)-SO Road <br />Aur~in.
