<br />14 r. John Auffrey <br />1. Dean Pit: <br />~ „s <br />~;~1 "x i; a. What i s <br />k Qse'~1~,~ produced as <br />~ St'/ <br />-4- <br />to be done with the "waste" stockpile? <br />a part of the mining operation? <br />October 17, 1983 <br />Is this material <br />P' b. The rectangular permit area shown on the map comprises 6.1 acres. <br />Furthermore, another shaded area labeled "previously disturbed" is shown <br />rfyfi V to the south of the outlined permit area. Keeping in mind that any <br />L°~„ty, areas disturbed by you since July 1, 1976 must be reclaimed as apart of <br />this operation and that any older disturbed areas that are redisturbed <br />yla 'l`~~6.as a part of this operation must also be part of the permit area, please <br />5;'~ ~ clarify the total acreage to be permitted. This may require <br />modification of the map. <br />8. Clodfelter Pit: <br />IL c <br />S~rb~wa°st ~`a. The planned location of all types of stockpiles (topsoil, gravel <br />{~Yr Jand waste) should be either clarified in the text or shown on the map. <br />~ k ~` <br />D Exhibit D <br />1. Wildlife - Please be advised that the recommendations made by the <br />~~ ~° Division of Wildlife for each of these seven operations are to be incorporated <br />4A. into your permitr applications. Specifically, protection from grazing until <br /><~` ~ vegetation has become established is important for all seven pits. Also, the <br />comments concerm,ing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pit are important <br />considering thatt the end use inay involve wildlife habitat. <br />2. Soi 1 s - Alit hough t <br />pits, no descriptions of <br />,rill with the descriptions of <br />wpb y, be able to provide these <br />~K~1 evaluate the rezommended <br />Exhibit E <br />ie enclosed maps show the general soils for these <br />these soils are given. Please provide the Division <br />the soils for each of these pits. The S.C.S. should <br />descriptions. This will allow me to more clearly <br />seed mixtures (and is an application requirement). <br />1. As a general rule., slopes should nut be left at greater than 3h:ly if <br />l °•~ any re vegetation is to be successful and if erasion is to be prevented. <br />3 J Therefore, I re mmmend that you commit to leaving reclaimed slopes at a slope <br />of 3h:ly or flatter for all seven operations. <br />2. In areas vhere dry creek beds are to be mined (the Adams and Smartt <br />IPits), a greater amount of detail should be given to the reclamation of the <br />site. The ends of the excavation in the dry creek bed should be left at <br />p1~ lOh:ly or flatter to avoid upstream and downstream erosion. Reconstructed <br />ll D~/,, banks should be left at 3h:ly or flatter and topsoiled and re vegetated as per <br />P' tfie plan. Any areas disturbed outside of the dry creek bed should be <br />reclaimed as per the S.C.S. plans. Please clarify your plans in this regard. <br />
