X. Topsoil - Rules 2.04.9, 2.05.3(5), 2.05.4 (2)(d) and 4.06
During the first permit term the operator complied with the stripping
and replacement requirements of the permit. An annual topsoil balance
was required (see PAR Stipulation No. 12) to verify that sufficient
topsoil was available to implement the reclamation plan. Based on the
results of the surveys, which were included in the annual reports, this
requirement was deleted during the renewal review.
Because of the thin soils on much of the proposed disturbed area of
Section 1l, the operator has provided a topsoil balance table which
indicates that there will be approximately 12 inches of topsoil
available for reclamation in the Section 11 area. Tne Division concurs
with this estimate and will require a 12 inch depth on this area.
Retopsoiling depths on the rest of the permit area shall remain the
same as stated in the 1987 permit renewal application,

Soil Conservation Service (SCS) on December 18, 1980. Contact with
this same District Office on December 21, 1988 reaffirmed that the area
to be disturbed in Section 11 was not prime farmland. The operation is
