<br />Mrs. Ruth Gray - 5 - May 18, 1988 <br />(6) We recommend that, prior to topsoil redistribution, chemical analyses of <br />~-~•~•' the topsoil be performed to determine if a nutrient deficiency exists. <br />~~°"~ If a deficiency does exist, a fertilizer amendment mdy enhance the <br />~:~~ potential for successful revegetation. <br />(~ iJ ~, <br />V~' / (7) We recommend that a straw mulch De crimped into the seeded topsoil at a <br />1, rate of trro tons per acre. It has been our experience that the most <br />successful revegetation efforts have employed crimped mulch. <br />(8) The proposed seed mix should be amended to include a~forb~and a shrub. <br />.~ ~ J Our recommendations would be a vetch and a sage. We actively discourage <br />p~rro ~a,~ planting yellow sweetclover. <br />V•i`~ (9) Please provide a timetable for reclamation if either a phased or <br />~ r~ ~ sequenced mine plan is used. In this timetable please include the amount <br />Grp `~r,~'~ of acreage which will be in various stages of reclamation upon completion <br />~~ of mining (example: 7 acres will require highwall reduction, 20 acres <br />`a~~ will require topsoil replacement, 20 acres will require seeding and <br />mulching). <br />Exhibit F - Reclamation Plan Map (2.12(6)) <br />y ~~ (1) Please provide a map of the mine site which portrays the proposed post <br />lo.,-~t! mining topography. Please use a 5 or 10 foot contour interval. This map <br />G` ~ ' will be extremely beneficial for both the operator and the Division in <br />order to evaluate the success of reclamation efforts at this site. <br />Exhibits G, H, I, J, K - (2.12(7)-(11)) <br />These exhibits are adequate as previously submitted. Please consolidate these <br />into the single permit application to facilitate the permit review process. <br />Exhibit L - Reclamation Costs (2.12(12)) <br />The Division will also perform a reclamation cost estimate for this site when <br />the revisions to the mining and reclamation plans have been submitted. The <br />Mined Land Reclamation Act requires that the financial warranty be sufficient <br />to allow the State to perform the reclamation at maximum site disturbance <br />should an operator vacate the operation. <br />Exhibits M, N, 0, P <br />These exhibits are sufficient as previously submitted. Please consolidate <br />these exhibits into a single permit application to facilitate the permit <br />review. <br />i <br />~ ~ ~ ~" <' / <br />,.
