Dept. of PJatural Resourre^ <br />ATTN: Jim McArdle <br />RE: State Land - Jensen Pit; Your File No. 83-50 <br />Dear Jim, <br />I am submitting this in response to the questions you asked in your <br />letter of March 29, 1983 concerning our permit application for the State <br />Land - Jensen Pit. <br />A. Exhibit B - Mining Plan <br />1. The topsoil stockpile should be located in an area which is not <br />subject to periodic flooding. <br />Response: Our policy is to not specify a specific stockpile site <br />unless there are circumstances that dictate the use of <br />some certain location. In this instance, the bulk of <br />the affected area is probably 10 to 15 feet above the <br />dry creek bed. Therefore, unless the stockpile is <br />placed in the creek bed, which we would not allow, <br />there is very little chance of the stockpile site <br />flooding. <br />2. To what depth will material be mined? <br />Response: As stated under Exhibit D: Soils, the overburden in <br />this pit ranges from approximately 2.5 feet to 7 feet. <br />The gravel thickness ranges from a layer of 3.5 feet, <br />up to a thickness of 8.5 feet. It appears our excavation <br />will range from approximately 6 to 12 feet. However, <br />the excess overburden will be placed back into the <br />excavated area. I would estimate that the final <br />reclaimed area would be lowered an average of <br />approximately 4 to 6 feet. <br />B. Exhibit G - Source of Legal Right to Enter <br />The State Land Board granted us permission to mine gravel during <br />their March 28, 1983 meeting. We have not received the permit yet. <br />However, as soon as we receive it, we will forward a copy to your <br />office. <br />
