<br />it is diverted into Harrence Ditch miles <br />upstream from the mine area. The c eek bed <br />adjacent to the pit area is virtual y dry <br />even during the height of Spring ru -off. <br />b. Mill Creek will be protected from s dimen- <br />tation by the top-soil stockpile be ween the <br />creek and the pit. The pit will be at least <br />75 feet from Mill Creek. <br />c. The Stage Stop Pit will be operated as a dry <br />pit using rubber-tired loaders for xcavation. <br />As previously stated, Mill Creek adjacent Co <br />the pit is dry even during Spring r n-off. <br />d. Because of the diversion of the entire flow <br />of Mill Creek into the Harrence Dit h two <br />miles upstream from the pit, loss of top-soil <br />due to flooding is virtually impossi le; <br />however, the top-soil stockpiled bet een Mill <br />Creek and the pit will be seeded to revent <br />erosion. <br />3. The top-soil stockpiles will be seeded ith <br />Western wheatgrass at a rate of 16 lbs. PLS/acre. <br />4. Planned life of this mining operation i~ 10 <br />years. <br />Exhibit n <br />3 <br />1. The vegetation survey submitted by the CS <br />is still applicable to the new area. A great <br />deal of the new permit area overlaps th <br />original area. <br />2. Likewise the soils in the new area are ~he <br />same as previously submitted. <br />Stage Stop Pit will in no way interfere with any <br />water rights. The pit will be a dry pit ex- <br />cavated far enough from both Mill Creek and <br />Harrence Ditch to remain dry and to kee any of <br />Chose waters from seeping into the piC. <br />Exhibit F. <br />1. a. Stage Stop Pit will be mined in such <br />fashion to prevent a lake forming in <br />a <br />the pit. <br />2 <br />
