B&B Excavating, Inc Montgomery Pit Mlr File NO. M-86-104, Adequacy Response (cont.) 6. It is possible but not practical. The fines are a valuable binder used in asphalt production. In addition the SCS stated that there was very little topsoil available and we will stick with their judgment on this matter. As the report stated B6B will salvage any present and save for future reclamation. 7. I donot know. I have contacted the Larry Lang of State Water Conservation, he has said he knows of no 100 year flood plane information for this section of the Eagle River. In questioning him, he said that due to the nature of this stream the difference between a 25 year event and a 100 year event would be approxi- mately 50 percent more. Mr. Lang said that the 1984 highwater was considered a 25 year event.. In 1984-85 the river reached to approximately the 6457 feet elevation. Since the bench area will begin on the 6460 elevation it will be well above the historical highwater line. 8. In this case the 100 foot setback would cause a decrease in material removal without increasing the amount of riparian habitat to be left. If B&B Excavating, Inc. does not mine this area it would leave an unstable ridge approximately 50 feet wide and 650 feet long that could possibly slide into the river in the future, In discussions with the county this was brought up and they thought it best if the 6460 or 10 foot elevation change was used rather that imposing 100 foot setbacks. Map Exhibit F shows that the 6460 elevation is only within 100 foot of the river for a total of 650 feet in Stage 1 and for 600 feet in Stage 2. A site visit shows the bench to be mined is above the river bank vegetative growth. It has been BSB'S policy to keep as much native vegetation along the river at their Calhoun/Eaton pit as possible. That will be their policy here also. 9. Map Exhibit F shows that B&B will not mine closer than 50 to the only power pole on the property. Generally when these poles are erected they are set on caissons that are drilled at least as deep as the height of the tower. It is to our advantage also not to disrupt or interfere with these lines and they will do all that is necessary to preserve their own hides in not touching the lines. B&e will follow OSHA regulation when work begins under the lines and the workers will be shown the lines and inform them that they are high voltage that not to disturb them. 10. Yes; The exact location is unknown at this time. The 13.00 acre ± SHOP AREA on the D-1 map showing where the general 3
