Also as described in the Recla- <br />mation Plan, the side slopes have been graded to 3:1 or <br />flatter, and I'm told, approximately 10" of topsoil has <br />been evenly redistributed (rather than the 6 to 8" noted <br />in the Plan), scarified and is now ready for seeding. The <br />addition of fertilizer and mulching will also proceed as <br />planned. <br />When the reseeded area appears to be well established, <br />in about a year, we will request to have this portion of <br />the site released from further obligation. Until such <br />time of release, we will need to temporarly post a finan- <br />cial warranty for an estimated 20 acres of disturbance. <br />Exhibit F - Reclamation Plan Map <br />1. We believe this map accurately accounts for the present <br />condition and topography as described in Exhibit C-3. <br />Exhibit G - Water Information <br />1. Please be assured that every reasonable effort will be <br />made to protect the area from sedimentation or from any <br />possible gully effects on the reclaimed embankments or <br />mine floor. Due to the high porosity of the topsoil <br />material and exposed mine-floor areas, we do not anticipate <br />any run-off problems. <br />2. We will fully comply with the requirements of the Office of <br />the State Engineer (their letter of March 21, 1986) in the <br />event ground water is trapped in a lake or if water is used <br />for commercial or industrial uses. <br />Exhibit I - Soils Information <br />1. Glad the information was adequate. <br />Exhibit L - Reclamation Costs <br />1. We believe no addition costs are necessary because of the <br />ongoing and planned mining practices. More specificly, <br />the costs of stripping topsoil material and immediate back- <br />casting are charged to specific projects as they are done. <br />Thus, the operator will only open an area as needed since <br />he maintains a self-propelled Clark Scraper ( 18 cuyd ) <br />on site for that purpose. <br />2. Stockpile materials will only be moved in the course of <br />an orderly marketing program. Only the present partially <br />depleted topsoil stockpile remains and the cost of reshaping <br />for temporary reseeding is insignificant. <br />3.
