<br />ENVIRDNMEN T~ INC. <br />APRIL 4~ 2D01 <br /> <br />PAGE 3 <br />will do whatever is necessary to satisfy them. PS&G will <br />commit to not crossing buried gaslines or using roads with <br />gaslines under them as haul routes until a copy of the signed <br />working agreements are submitted to the Division. In leu of <br />the working agreements PS&G may opt to submit crossing and <br />road designs showing how the gaslines will be protected for <br />approval. Nothing in this proposal prevents the landowners, <br />or oil companies from using or improving roads for their use <br />if needed. <br />4. I respectfully agree to disagree. However, PS&G will apply to <br />the Division if lining ever becomes an option. <br />The inclusion of the term "inert material" in the permit was <br />to protect the operator from enforcement action in the future <br />if any inert material were ever delivered to the site. The <br />plan does not include backfilling slopes with inert material <br />at this time and PS&G understands that a permit revision may <br />be necessary if that change is proposed in the future. <br />5. Thanks for point this out. To restate the proposed plan only <br />1 acres will be dewater in each lake area to facilitate the <br />dredges' placement. This is consistent with the Leonard Rice <br />study. PS&G understands any changes to the approved <br />dewatering plan would have to be submitted as a revision. <br />6. The only inert material that would be used in the pit slopes <br />under the proposed plan would be concrete in sizes larger than <br />a basketball. An exact explanation is shown in the last <br />paragraph of page 12 in the application. This material would <br />be placed as bank armoring at the water line or as fish habi- <br />tat below the water line. On any material placed above the <br />water line the courser material would be in the lower layers <br />and finer material from basketball size to finer base material <br />would be placed in the next layer. The inert material would <br />then be covered with a minimum of 12 inches of growth medium. <br />The definition of inert material is very specific as to what <br />it can be. PS6G does not plan to make this site an inert <br />material depository, large scale recycling facility or land- <br />fill and plans to accept only material from their operations. <br />Each load will be inspected at the scale house as it comes <br />into the mine area and if it does not meet the definition on <br />our notarized affidavit it will be rejected and not allowed on <br />the site. If the load passes the scale house inspection, it <br />will be inspected again after it is dumped and prior to using <br />it for reclamation. Any material that does not meet the <br />definition of "inert material" will be segregated and removed <br />to an. acceptable offsite depository. <br />Placement under wet mining conditions is fairly easy, one <br />simply dumps it along the lake and it is dozed into the lake. <br />It will settle to the bottom. The dredge would then be used <br />to pump finer material over it until the prescribed slopes are <br />
