• n ~ • <br />Mr. R.ay P. Bingham -2- September 30, 1982 <br />2. Are any new areas (not part of the gravel bars or the existing <br />I processing area) to be disturbed? If any new areas within the permit <br />area are disturbed, they should first have the topsoil stripped, stock- <br />piled and planted with a perennial grass cover crop for stabilization <br />purposes. If no new areas are to be disturbed, please verify this now. <br />3. Where is the pile of coal gob within the permit area? If you do <br />. disturb this material, the river should be protected from it. <br />F.rhi bit n <br />1. Wildlife - It is vital in this operation that the recomunendations <br />made by the Division of Wildlife be adopted. Specifically, the riparian <br />habitat should be undisturbed to the extent possible and equipment should <br />'~~ not push gravel entirely across the river. This seems fairly clear from <br />your plans, but please verify this once again. <br />Glrhihit F. <br />1. If the pile of coal gob is used by you as product, how long will <br />it take to remove it? Zf not, when will the miming company remove it? <br />In either case, as I understand it, the pile will be removed in final <br />reclamation. Please clarify this matter. <br />2. As long as the existing processing area is the only disturbance <br />outside of the gravel bars, it would appear that levelling and grading <br />is the only potential reclamation needed. However, if the undisturbed <br />parts of the permit area are affected by this operation, activities <br />such as topsoiliny and planting would also be needed. Please be advised <br />that, if this occurs in future, a technical revision or amendment to the <br />permit would be needed to add plans for these activities and a seed mix <br />for the area. The arrn~unt of the financial warranty would also require <br />adjustment, in this situation. <br />Exhibit H <br />As I understand it, about 5 acres of the total permit area will be <br />disturbed. In a worst case situation, all 5 acres could require some <br />grading work. At a conservative figure of $200.00 per acre for regrading, <br />a financial warranty figure of $1,000.00 seems a bit more reasonable. <br />I am quite willing to listen to your objections (if any) to this figure, <br />but at this point I would plan to recommend $1,000.00 to our Board. <br />
