<br />Mr. Mike Savage <br />Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />October 15, 1984 <br />Page Two <br />Stipulation 15 <br />Abatement <br /> <br />WFC has committed to salvaging 5.0 feet of suitable topsoil from the unnamed <br />alluvium in the area of pond no. 4. This salvaging depth along with salvaging depths <br />from other soils equated to a topsoil replacement depth of L8 to 24 inches. By <br />requesting more salvage than 5.0 feet, the Division is assuming 18-24 inches is not <br />adequate. As noted in response to Stipulation 13 the burden of proof is on WFC to <br />show the adequacy of this replacement depth. <br />However, WFC recognizes the importance of suitable topsoil in reclamation <br />and in an effort to abate this portion of the violation offers the following language as <br />a revision to the permit. <br />WFC will salvage all suitable material from the unnamed alluvium in the area <br />of pond no. 4. Prior to salvaging, samples will be taken to determine the amount of <br />suitable material below 5.0 feet. Suitable material will be based on standard <br />chemical and physical analyses for topsoil. <br />Stipuation 17 <br />Abatement <br />Attached is the report entitled "Akali Sagebrush Community Plant Production <br />Information Canadian Strip Mine Extension". <br />Stipulation 20 <br />Abatement <br />I am resubmitting my letter of December 30, 1981 to Mr. Rich Dominque for <br />the Division's review and approval. <br />Stipulation 21 <br />Abatement <br />~' To date WFC has not done any fertilization as proposed under Stipulation 21. <br />Fertilization has not been accomplished because the Canadian Strip Mine has been <br />shut down since July 15, 1982. In addition, the DOW has not contacted WFC directly <br />or indirectly through the CLMRD regarding fertilization practices. WFC further <br />understands said fertilization practices have been reviewed by the CMLRD where <br />
