.. <br />6. Final Shoreline Configuration. We question whether the <br />Reclamation plan is adequate for the wetlands areas. When no <br />water is in the ponds, the surface will be muddy or dry and cracked <br />or dusty. ]n addition, these areas are being created for mitigation of <br />wildlife impact recommended by the DOW and are dry for a good <br />portion of the season. Also, a dry surface in these areas is hardly <br />mitigating visual impact. <br />EXHIB]!T F, Reclamatioe Plan Map <br />The final topography indicates a deep pit with two ponds, <br />sometimes wet, which is in far contrast to the current flowing <br />landscape existing at present. This does not constitute minimum <br />visual impact. <br />EIi~IT G, Water Information <br />The statement addresses the water quantity of our wall by the <br />dewatering activities. It claims that the water supply will be <br />unaffected because the well is lower than the dewatering activities. <br />This statement may or may not be true and the quality of the water <br />is not addressed. Since the direction of underground water flow is <br />not known, the affect of the activities on well water quality and <br />quantity needs to be addressed more scientifically. <br />EXHIBIT H, Wildlife Information <br />Statements regarding the impact on wildlife made by Elizabeth <br />Miller of the DOW, were based on running the crusher for e <br />maximum of 4 weeks (annually). The actual period of time <br />approved for the crusher operation is set at 50 days per year or 10 <br />weeks which ie considerably longer than the time she had expected <br />when she made her impact statement. Anew wildlife impact <br />statement is needed. <br />EXHIBIT K, Climate <br />The statement made in this paragraph regarding wind direction, <br />typically west to east is inconsistent with the typical dvection <br />stated in the SUP application, NW to SE. <br />EXffiBIT M, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers <br />The investigation by Sue Nall was completed in May of 1997. <br />The site visit revealed that the only wetland impact associated with <br />this proposed operation will be for a road crossing of the drainage <br />and associated wetland. Since the time of her investigation, the <br />location of the creasing has changed due to the new location of the <br />haul road. A sew investigation needs to be achaduled. <br />E'd 1?J053a 8 INS 1tlOflWti315 SZ:ST 86. TZ d35 <br />
