Cage c <br />= ` • <br />2. Depth of Mining I will try to provide this information <br />in both exhibit B and exhibit C. <br />3. sporadic Use. All of the permits being applied for are <br />for mines that will be used less than 180 days per year, <br />and nose will supply more than 70,000 tons of material <br />per year.No ne are being used in new construction, all'are <br />used in normal maintenance. Even though the pits are used <br />only a few weeks in each year they will all be considered <br />an active pit. <br />4. Topsoil Lincoln County will make every effort to save <br />the topsoil from any new parts of existing pits. In any new <br />pitall of the topsoil will be saved. I know of no area where <br />the depth of the topsoil would allow for leaving any. <br />In these gravel pit areas it is thinner than it is on the <br />regular farm and pasture lands. I doubt if the county could <br />go out and buy topsoil. I have never heard of any one wanting <br />to sell any. Leith the exception of the creek bottom gravel <br />sources these pits usually have an underlying layer of adobe <br />and clay which will sustain plant life when fertilized. <br />5. Flanned depth cf topsoil removal. Addressed in previous <br />paragraph. <br />~. stream channel extraction. I think we have only one <br />application where we nave a stream Chanel with any topsoil <br />and it will be address ed in the ammending of the application. <br />It is not our policy to leave product stockpiles for any <br />length of time, particularly in or near a stream bed. Stock- <br />piles are left occassionally when the maintenance men know <br />t at trey are coming back for more gravel within a short time. <br />i.e. Three of four weeks, when it would be inconvenient to <br />bring any machinery except a loader. <br />Exhibit L - i~iap <br />1. I have been studying your comments about exact permit <br />areas. I see that i have not been giving exact locations <br />of ti.e area to be permitted. ++ithout going to the expense <br />of hiring a surveyor I will try to request a permit area that <br />can be measured in feet from known landmarks, such as section <br />linesline fences or county roads. I have also gone to the <br />ASi, office and found tY.at for many of these areas they have <br />recently flown and developed new photographic mans. The <br />gravel pits snow plainly on these maps most of the time. <br />They are able to measure the disturbed areas with their <br />numonic planimeter. My ammended exhibitx will show these <br />measured acres, and the area to be permitted will be sl-:own <br />on the scaled drawing witi. dimendions. <br />2. Directional Arrows. These will be provided. <br />
