Please state the anticipated depth !in inches) in which <br />topsoil will 6e reapplied to all affected areas during reclamation (top- <br />soiling need not occur on areas to be ponded). <br />5. RE: Davis Ranch and Koenig Pits: <br />Please specify the seed mixture and associated rates and methods of appli- <br />cation for the above pits. Allow for possible fertilization, mulching, or <br />other soil amendments if such amendments are found to be necessary later <br />on during the reclamation phase of the operation as a result of soil tests, <br />observation, or other reasons. Such soil treatments or amendments should <br />also be considered for the Pierce Pit. <br />6. RE: Davis Ranch Pit: <br />The Division of Wildlife report indicates the seasonal use of this area <br />by bald eagles. The operation must consider the protection of this species <br />during this critical period and therefore no mining should occur at the <br />site, nor other associated activities, during this period (as yet unspeci- <br />fied by the Division of Wildlife). Further, as the operation must protect <br />the habitat of this species which is predominantly mature cottonwood trees <br />please identify .existing mature cottonwood trees on the site and take mea- <br />sures not to disturb them during the course of the operation. Cottonwood <br />trees which cannot be protected, should be identified. The use of cotton- <br />wood cuttings or seedlings in the revegetation plan is encouraged. <br />7. RE: Davis Ranch, Koenig, and Pierce Pits: <br />Please submit proof of publication and notifications of adjacent land- <br />owners for the above pits prior to the Board meeting. <br />The Mined Land Reclamation Board will consider this application at the <br />August 28, 1980 Board meeting. <br />If you have any quesCions, or need additional assistance, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Brad Jane' <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />cc: Dick Lefle- <br />r'1A'~'K.W!aw., <br />
