<br />Mr. Robert R. Prevost -2- October 6, 1982 <br />2. The locations of fixed equipment (and what that fixed equipment is) <br />I should be described in the narrative and fas necessary) shown on the map. <br />v In this regard, the mobile equipment used in the mining operation should also <br />be mentioned. <br />3. The Location and movement of topsoil stockpiles in the pit areas is not <br />clear. Present location of topsoil stockpiles should be either described in <br />a narrative or shown on the map, and the movement pattern of subsequent top- <br />soil stockpiling should be shown to the extent possible. <br />4. Wi11 any attempt be made to separate upper, more fertile topsoil layers <br />Sel ~ from lower, more sterile subsoil/overburden layers during stripping operations? <br />If not, please justify the mixing of the materials as concerns later potential <br />d,~f negative impacts on revegetation success. <br />Ga~~to'". <br />Exhibit E <br />1. Mulching is a vital part of revegetation, especially in a dry area such <br />as this. Our staff feels .that mulching only the south and west-facing slopes <br />will not be sufficient. Your statement that, "Level, east, and north Facing <br />O ,t i„` slopes should not need a mulch if tops oiled to the proper depth", does not <br />h ;mF seem relevant to the need for mulching. All areas to be revegetated should <br />~ be mulched, with heavier mulching on the south and west-facing slopes. Please <br />discuss this matter further. <br />oT <br />~~r \'2. Will topsoil be replaced over subsoil/overburden, or will the two materials <br />L~++'\,~~~V be mixed when reapplied? Please justify your planned procedure in this regard. <br />~µ ~o~ 3. since this area is to be used for grazing after reclamation, the incorpor- <br />J ation of a limited number of stock ponds would seem to be necessary for the <br />area to function in this way. Please outline any plans you may have for <br />the possible incorporation of stock ponds in the final reclamation plan. <br />Exhibit F <br />~~ ° ~a g y y g u t nt e are , these <br />~~nycosts may increase. Please clarify this matter such that we can agree on <br />~~~~ final bonding costs. <br />Presumably, the final contours for this area will extend through the <br />existing pits, maintaining the overall 1o slope. This is not clearly shown <br />on the map. Please clarify this matter. <br />F.xhihir r. <br />~ v I agree with gour reclamation costs, in general. I do, however, have one <br />question. It does not appear that mulching costs have been included in the <br />amounts iven. If the have and ou a ree to m lch he e it a <br />
