Dear Mr. Yust,
This letter is being written to address issues which need clarification in the technical revision submitted by
your company to the Division of Minerals and Geology (DIviG) on January 27 (Permit No. #M-2000-014,
Yust Ranch Gravel Pit). Please address the following concerns prior to the decision due date of March I,
2000.
I) Will the asphalt plan[ [o be placed on the site be a permanent of temporary strucmre? [f permanent,
will this structure be left on the site after mining is completed? If this is a permanent structure which
is not going to be left in place after reclamation, please submit the dimensions of the building and
information about the thickness of footings and concrete slabs used in the construction of [he plant. .so
we may calculate the cos[ of demolition. This is in accordance with Rule 4.2.1(1) of the Construction
Materials Rules and Regulations.
2) The seed mix specified contains only two species of grass, and the quantity of live seed per acre is
approximately half of that which the Division believes to be appropriate. This seed mix is not
sufficient to "insure the establishment of a diverse and long-lasting vegetative cover", in accordancz
with Rule 3.1.10(5) of the Constmction Materials Rules and Regulations. Please add at least two
distinct additional species to the mix, and increase the PLS to a quantity approaching 20 PLS/acre,
and submit the new mix to DMG for approval.
Please bz advised that this application may be deemed inadequate, and your application could be denied
on March I, unless the adequacy items listed above are addressed to the satisfaction of the Division. IF
you wish, you may request an extension [o the decision due date, to allow for morn time to resolve these
issues. If you have any funher questions, please contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Christina L. Kamnikar
