RE: Newett Quarry
File #78-93
Dear Mr. Brownhi2l:
As per our meeting of April 2, I am sending this letter updating
information regarding the above mine. I have researched several items
and will comment accordingly.
Mining Plan
Your decision to mine area B instead of area A is considered to be a
Technical Revision (Rule 1.9). I wi1Z place this change on the April
Board agenda for formal Board approval of this change.
It is important that your crews follow the mining plan as stated in
your application(s). Otherwise, a company is subject to fines and pos-
sible permit revocation (Rule 8.22). If there are to be changes, this
can be accomplished by simply sending us a note of the changes for a
Technical Revision to the plan.
Please make sure the people operating the equipment make an effort
to salvage all available topsoil for stockpiling (Rule 6.9(a)). Obviously,
if topsoil is not salvaged, the probability for successful reclamation
decreases; with the possibility of surety forfeiture.
We acknowledge that the proposed haul road to O.S. 285 may still
be constructed sometime in the future.
Surety
Minutes from the July 1978 MLR Board meeting indicate that a floating
bond was approved for this operation but do not indicate the acreage limi-
tations.
Because we wish to update the bond on this operation, I spoke with the
Assistant Attorney General, Lew Woods, seeking advice on how best to re-
write this.
