't <br /> <br />• The concrete batch plant is a portable plant requiring permanent, substantial concrete <br />foundation footers only to be constructed. The Silver Hawk Ranch owner has consented to <br />allow the footers to remain following termination of the gravel pit operation. The well and <br />electrical service is intended for permanent Ranch use and is to also remain. Mixer drum <br />wash-out is to be disposed of onsite, covered with earth and left below the finished surface at <br />the site, the same as the concrete foundation footers. The owner's notarized letter of <br />approval for these features is attached. <br />• Financial warranty for the added operation areas of the Feedlot Unit and the Northwest Unit <br />has been calculated and corporate bonding shall be immediately submitted to Division upon <br />concurrence of the Division for the calculated quantities. <br />Overburden stripped from the 2.59-acre remainder of the Northwest Unit to be mined shall <br />be back-filled into the near-vertical headwall at the north boundary for slope reduction to 3:1. <br />It estimated that approximately 19,000 yards of that overburden is available from that area <br />following removal and stockpiling (just to the south) of the 6 to 12-inch depth of topsoil. <br />The balance of the estimated 27,200 yards needed for that slope reduction (8,200 CY) shall <br />be pushed up from leveling the pit floor and shall be brought from the overburden stockpile <br />at the southeast corner of the NW Unit, just northwest of the Secondary Access Road. <br />Overly-steep excavated portions of the North-Central unit shall be slope-reduced by "cut & <br />fill" dozer operations from the uncompleted north boundary portions of that unit. <br />• Overburden and topsoil stockpiles have been indicated on the attached site map. Current <br />mining has also been indicated thereon. <br />• Currently no reclamation seeding that would require fencing to prevent livestock grazing has <br />been performed. Supplemental fencing to completely enclose the reclaimed site has been <br />addressed in the attached revised Reclamation Costs analysis. The revised Financial <br />Warranty shall reflect those additions. <br />• Topsoil stockpiles currently remaining un-vegetated have been seeded and mulched. <br />Approval of the above described technicn/ revisions to Permit M 94-011 are hereby requested. <br />Sincerely, <br />WEST END GRAVEL COMPANY, INC. <br />By .~o~.yPa~ ~ ~o,.ya., Geological Services <br />Agent for the Permittee <br />Bob Sutherland, Corporate Secretary <br />3 <br />
