Written landowner request for a variance from achieving the approximate original contour <br />during backfilling and grading operations at the Bear and Lower Hubbard Creek Canyon <br />facilities (2.06.5(2)(e)). These requests must come from the respective landowners of these <br />sites, and these will supplement the existing findings for these areas. <br />2. Information, as specified in Rule 2.05.3(3)(b), regarding the culverts along the Elk Creek <br />Canyon Road which are located above the explosives bunker area. Please provide any <br />documentation to prove that these culverts were existing prior to August 3, 1977 as part of <br />the old exploration road accessing Elk Creek. A map showing the location of these culverts <br />should be included in the submittal. Five culverts should be addressed: Two culverts <br />ten feet in diameter are located in the channel of Elk Creek; the other three, one 48-inch, one <br />18-inch, and one l0-inch, are located in or on the light use road and convey drainage from <br />the upgradient side of the road to the downgradient side where the drainage eventually finds <br />its way to Elk Creek. <br />Please submit the requested information by May 31, 1994, which is ten working days from the <br />date you will receive this letter via Facsimile. The information should be submitted in the form of <br />a minor revision. <br />
