Following your <br />use of the area you will reclaim the dump site consistent with your <br />reclamation plan for the original site. <br />This proposal makes a lot of sense to me and should help reduce the <br />general wildlife habitat degradation that has occurred in the Florence <br />area due to coal mining in the past. I am glad to see this kind of <br />inovative reclamation undertaken by Dorchester. Thank you for your <br />cooperation and if you need further information, feel free to contact <br />me. <br />Sincerely, <br />V <br />Jlack Vayh i n <br />ildlife Bio gist <br />• ' <br />JV/bmc <br />cc: Chuck Grand Pre, Envir.
