Bob Oswald March 30, 1998 Page 2 After the topsoil has been placed in storage, the stockpiles will be seeded with grasses within one year of placement. The soil will be spread over the floor of the existing River Road Pit. The size of this area consists of approximately 20.9 acres. Please again refer to the enclosed sketch for an indication where the topsoil is to be eventually placed. Pursuant to the Notice requirements in Rule 3. I.5(9), the following information is provided regarding the importation of such topsoil as discussed above. (a) The location of the proposed activity is the River Road Gravel Pit as being the recipient of the imported material and the Railhead Gravel Pit providing such material as a product of topsoil/overburden stripping. (b) The approximate volume of the import material is believed to be approximately 30,000 cubic yards. (c) The signature attached to this document should be considered to be certification by United Companies that the proposed import material is clean and inert, as defined in Rule l.l(20). (d) The approximate date of commencement that the soils will begin to be placed in storage approximately September or October, 1998. As stripping operations occur over the next two or three years, topsoil will be stockpiled until an adequate amount has been salvaged. The soil will be stored for reclamation of the River Road site at an undetermined time in the future, at such time that the importing and processing of materials ceases at the River Road site. (e) The soils will be used to plate the floor of the mined out portion of the gravel pit. As the site is not going to be inundated with water, as originally planned, it is a requirement of the standards of Mined Land Reclamation Act to provide topsoil for such affected lands. (fj The soils will be placed on the floor of the gravel pit at a depth of 8" to 12". This procedure will accommodate a high degree of stability, as the floor is basically flat. United Companies agrees to commit to the remedies that are mentioned above. The attached signature certifies this commitment. UMTED COMPANIES ~~ ~ M~e~~ Paul E.
