.t <br />~, : ~ ... <br />~/ %. <br />Mr. Dan Plathews <br />November 28, 1983 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />grass and water was inadequate for their purposes. I think this <br />is largely because of the fact tl?at Pit #4 encompasses what used <br />to be a fairly large grazing area, and Pit ~4 is now in the pro- <br />cess of being opened and utilized. <br />It is our expectation that a substantial part of Pit #1 and <br />Pit #2 will be available for (limited) grazing in 1984--should <br />such a use come into being. This would mean that only a portion <br />of Pit >r3 and a small portion of Pit #2 would need specialized <br />control. In view of the fact that we do not expect grazing to <br />occur in 1984 (and by 1985 these areas should be totally available <br />for grazing should grazing be proposed by the surface owner in <br />that year), our plan consists of: <br />1. Keeping contact with the surface owner to determine <br />whether or not there will, in fact, be grazing in 1984; <br />2. If no grazing is contemplated no further action will have <br />to be taken; <br />3. If grazing does become lmown as a probable use , we will <br />propose to identify and delineate the areas vfliere grazing could be <br />permitted and, if at all possible, strictly prohibit grazing any <br />place above the juncture in the former pit access road where the <br />pit access road comes into the main haul road adjacent to Grassy <br />Creek; and <br />4. When the sheep are brought to the site, the sheepherder <br />would be specifically shown the prohibited areas and given <br />specific requests to avoid permitting sheep to get into those <br />areas; and <br />5. In addition, personnel from The ~ockcastle Company would <br />periodically check the "off limits" in order to prevent access by <br />livestock. <br />In view of the fact that there is no present expectation of <br />grazing in this area, eve feel that this is an appropriate response <br />to your request. <br />If there are further questions, please advise. <br />
