Please <br />describe how the roads will be reclaimed, the depth of topsoil. to be replaced and how the <br />drainages will be re-established. <br />There will only be temporary haul roads inside the pit boundaries. Those roadways <br />will be worked ap, sloped in with the final slopes of the rest of the pit, and re-seeded <br />under the same plan as the rest of the mined area. <br />14. The applicant provided a recommendation form the USDA for a seed mixture to be <br />used on site. Please state the timing of seeding, the method of seeding, sand state if the <br />guide sheet provided by the USDA will be followed.

The wells in the area are at least <br />230 feet deep. Some wells in surrounding sections are as deep as 400 feet The <br />mining plan keeps all equipment maintenance outside of the pit The only time <br />potential pollution could occur would be when fueling equipment. Special care will <br />
