Loye <br />Dear Sir: <br />Your inspection report of the Portland quarry was received <br />yesterday, the same day on which we mailed the annual report <br />to the attention of Mr. Jim Schmieding. <br />I discussed the contents of the inspection report with the <br />Portland plant manager, Mr. Willard Gordon, by telephone. <br />Although the topsoil stockpiles indicate appreciable natural <br />growth, we agree broadcasting of seed to help stabilize the <br />surfaces by more vegetation will be accomplished. The two <br />topsoil stockpiles will probably remain undisturbed for <br />3-5 seasons. <br />Portland plant personnel will immediately check with the local <br />SCS office for recommended seed mixture and seeding times. As <br />you know, the SCS have been most cooperative and resourceful <br />in vegetation test plot work at this site. Experimental seedings <br />without initial watering at Ideal's Boettcher plant have shown <br />good germination and fast growth of vegetation such as rabbit <br />brush and four wing saltbrush when broadcast in wet snow. As <br />experimental grass plantings have been more difficult to establish, <br />other native vegetation such as mentioned, may have advantages <br />for temporary stabilization purposes. We will keep you advised <br />of progress. <br />The annual report suggested an <br />and bonded acres from 225.9 to <br />hopes to at least rough grade <br />overburden deposit surface by <br />Sincerely, <br />R. E. Marsh <br />Properties Manager <br />cc: W. W. Gordon; John Relic, <br />increase of the currently permitted <br />255.9.
