F Margaret Punter • • -2- • October 22, 1930 area. This will be necessary to evaluate both the potential impacts of the loadout, and any proposed reclamation plan. 6. You must address the requirements of the federal interim regulations for surface and groundwater monitoring. /1re theie indications that shallow groundwater may be present? If so, monitoring may be necessary. 7. The existence of alluvial valley E.loors i.n the permit or adjacent areas must be addressed, at a reconnaisance level (I can provide additional information - see enclosed technical guidance document). 8. The proposed reclamation plan should be discussed both in terms of the land use provisions of the Eederal interim regulations (715.13) and in terms of the reclamation plan requirements of Rule 2 of the mineral regu- lations (1976 Act). This discussion should include a consideration of the hil;hest and best t~se which can be reasonably achieved for the area in question, and, if the proposed postmining land use is industrial, the probability that the area iaill actually be used fur this purpose. At a minimiun, stabilizing the area with vegetaticn will be required. I hope this brief discussion will give you some guidance for the preparation of an adequate application for this loadout. In addition to those items specifically referenced in this letter, your application should address each of the require- ments of the federal interim regulations. Publication and notice requirements of Rule 2.2 of the mineral regulations (1976 Act) are applicable to this amendment. You may commence publication at this time. Consideration of the amendment will be tentatively scheduled for the December 17-18 meeting of the Mined L:u~d Reclamation Board, however, we cannot recormnend approval of the amendment until .the additional materials requested in this letter have been submitted. If I may provide further clarification, please feel free to call. Sir~ely, Carol Pehlke Reclamation Specialist CP:mab
