<br />ITEM 4, EXHIBIT F <br />a. Based on the estimated depth of the depression in the NE <br />corner and the approximate depth of gravel, it is our opinion <br />that the overall floor of the.postmining permit .area will be <br />relatively level. However, as you indicated,_a depression in <br />the NE corner may .remain. We anticipate that the seepage <br />pond will be eliminated as mining progresses. <br />ITgM 5, EXHIBIT O <br />a. Please see attached acknowledgement signed by CYiarles R. <br />Shaver. <br />ITEM 6. EXHIBIT L <br />a. - I. In response to the equipment issue, we would anticipate <br />that the need for equipment will be minimized due .to the <br />following: - <br />{A) The pit highwalls will be graded at 4:1 during the <br />mining process which should eliminate the need for <br />additional cat work. <br />(B) We will leave sufficient gravel resource on the <br />bottom of the pit floor (1.5 to 2.O feet of gravel) <br />which will overlay the shale layer in order to <br />ensure adequate drainage once the. topsoil in <br />replaced. We would anticipate. leaving a level <br />surface as the mining operation progresses and would <br />not anticipate ripping the underlying surface prior <br />to. redepositing the topsoil. <br />(C) As noted, However, we feel a paddlewheel scraper or <br />grader could replace the topsoil without utilizing <br />a cat. <br />(D) As noted. <br />a. -'II. As•noted. <br />a. - III. We anticipate the access. road along the north boundary <br />of the 40 acre permit site will be gradually .removed <br />.through the mining process as mining progresses to the NW <br />corner of the property. <br />a. - IV. We•have contacted the adjoining property owner (Appelhanz <br />pit 'on our east boundary) and hope to have them utilize <br />their D-8 cat and possibly a front-end loader on a <br />contract basis. All other equipment will be brought in <br />from Montrose as indicated. <br />
