III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII TUTTLE APPLEGATE, INC. Consultants for Land and Resource Development January 15, 1992 JAN16199; Min 7d Mr. Berhan Keffelew Mined Land Reclamation Division 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 Denver, CO 80203-2273 RE: File #M-91-079; Idaho Creek Resource Dear Berhan: On January 14, 1992 , by telephone, you requested a further clarification of our answer on Item #3, Exhibit D of your adequacy questions. As a maximum amount at any given time, we expect to have from 9, 000 to 11, 000 cubic yards of topsoil stockpiled, from 80, 000 to 100, 000 cubic yards of overburden stockpiled, and from 60, 000 to 100, 000 cubic yards of processed sand and gravel stockpiled. These amounts would occur in years one and two of the mining operation. At this time, we would have no minor disturbance and no shoreline grading under moderate disturbance. This was noted in our Table of Disturbance which we enclosed with our letter of January 2, 1992 . On average, I expect you would see 3, 000 cubic yards of topsoil, 20, 000 cubic yards of overburden, and from 20, 000 to 80, 000 cubic yards of processed sand and gravel stockpiled. Under either scenario, the stockpile of processed sand and gravel could be sold off and does not impose any reclamation costs. If you have any further questions, please do no hesitate to call me. We look forward to receiving the permit in the new future. Cordially, TUTTLE APPLEGATE, INC.
