<br />Mr. Peter O'Connor <br />February 12, 1985 <br />Page Two <br />Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan <br />The ground water flaw and perched water table is addressed <br />and clarified in Exhibit G - Hydrology. Please refer to this <br />section to answer any questions regarding hydrology of the site. <br />Page 9: <br />The apparent discrepency is clarified in the same paragraph <br />following the sentence "ponds will not be cleaned out", of the <br />adequacy response letter dated December 14, 1983. <br />Ponds will be reclaimed insitu, meaning in their natural or <br />original position, as they fill with sediment. The ponds have <br />been designed in such a way and due to the nature of the sand and <br />gravel being mined, siltation of the ponds is not expected to <br />occur at a rapid rate and the dead storage area should handle the <br />silt and clay for the full period of operation. <br />It is also si.ated that replacement is not expected to occur <br />except possibly once. If this is the case, the minimal amount of <br />accumulated sediment will be used as a backfill - spread evenly <br />and covered with regular backfill material or topsoil. <br />Page 11: <br />Nowhere does t:he permit state the broadcast method of seeding <br />will be implemented. This is a suggested broadcast seeding rate <br />in LBS/Acre of prire live seed and noted, if drilled, half the <br />amount. <br />Page 11 - Last Paragraph: <br />1. As many soil tests as determined necessary by the recognized <br />institution u~;ed, i.e., Soil Conservation Service or CSU. <br />2. Please see Page 8, Number 6, of the adequacy response letter <br />dated December 14, 1983. The operator owns a drill seeder <br />and hydro-mulcher and fully intends to use them. <br />The operator sloes not commit to ripping, but does commit to <br />scarifying the Filant site area and any haul roads to alleviate <br />compaction problems. <br />Site drainage is explained in the first paragraph of the <br />Reclamation Plan - Exhibit E, Page 7. An erosion control system <br />is discussed and explicitly shown in detail on Maps 3 and 4 of 7. <br />
