I J.vnes C. Stevens • • Paec 2 Exhihit C - ~4inim~ Plan: The plan is to salvage and suxkpile all available topsoil. It varies in depth. We intend to salvage enough lix b u, 12 inches of reclamation topsoil. The reference to saved dirt on the Mining Plan Map probably should have been in a separate stockpile, which is how it wID he handled in the licld. The imcnt is to indicate that as the mining progresses, mixed fine materials will be sorted out and sux•kpiled liar reclamation. This material will include limestone and shale mixed together. We arc aware of the reyuirements to keep the topsoil in a separate stockpile from material generated during the nutting and intend [o do so. The crossing of the arroyo is necessary to access the quarry. In the pas[, vehicle access has been directly up the arroyo without construction of a road. We agree that a limestone base may be nmre appropriate than the proposed shale. I[ is possible that the native limestone will provide a suitable road hale liir the traffic. If erosion or instability of the road becomes a problem [hen the road section will he upgraded using limestone instead of shale as shown on the Mitring Plan Map. A copy of a slightly revised Mining Plan Map is enclosed. The Army Corps of Engineers has been comactcd end has responded to this project in writing. They have told us a permit is no[ necessary. A copy is enclosed. It is not amicipatetl that we will encounter refuse, acid, or toxic material during this operation. If it happens, then the toxic material will he hauled away and disposed of according to the proper handling rcyuircntents. Material piles will be sited [o minimize exposure to the drainage way. The native material is very alkaline in nature and will not produce acid runoff. Exhihit D -Reclamation Plan: The intern is to provide a minimum of 6 inches of topsoil for reclamation proposes. The 6-12 inches of topsoil referenced in the narrative and the SCS Reclamation Plan is now properly shown on the Reclamation Map. The revised map and Reclamation Plan, Exhibit D, are suhnutted to clarify this issue. The owner of the land, Mr. McKenna has been notified and is amendable to leaving the road and storm water catchments in place. As a matter of fact, Mr. McKenna was given a complete set of the Mining Application on April 9, 2000. Regarding Icnces, there is a cattle crossing located near the intersection of County Road 211 and Highway 10 and County Road 211 and 210. The crossings are part of the McKenna Ranches and the lencc li~llows County Road 210 and the Highway. The land between the crossing and quarry site is open range with no fences along the section of County Road 211 to the quarry site. The statement in the narrative is correct [ha[ [here are no fences along the right of way of County Road 21 I or the boundary of Ernn Liquors and So-Gas. Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan Map: This map has been revised to indicate 6 to 12 inches of topsoil replacement. A copy is enclosed. Exhihit F - Olher Pernuts: The Army Corps o(Engineers has been contacted regarding the possible need for a Corps 404 permit. They sold us we do not need a permit. We are forwarding a letter from the Corps regarding ibis project and their jurisdiction. A copy of the letter is enclosed.
