<br />Mr : Bi Y.i F/e2Birff <br />Page -2- <br />March 30, 1982 <br /> <br />~ hdVe @9@pl@t@ly ~®Vl®wBd dl1 the various exhibit items that you have submitted <br />tB BUY tivision to date. i still have several questions and comments that I have <br />organized on an exhibit-by-exhibit basis below. Any exhibits or parts thereof not <br />mentioned are considered adequate for Board consideration at this time. <br />Exhibits B & C <br />1. Presumably, not that the permit area has been defined to be 600' x 600', <br />that distance will be the extent of the operation to the west a~d.sovth (as <br />opposed to 900' in each direction). Please clarify this matter. <br />2. The treatment of topsoil remaining on the site should be more clearly out- <br />lined. The correct soils map for this site should be copied and the permit area <br />outlined on it. The description of the soils thus shown to be in the permit area <br />should also be submitted. The depth of topsoil to be removed from undisturbed <br />areas can then be estimated. The proposed location for the future topsoil <br />stockpile can then be specified or shown on the map in Exhibit C. This topsoil <br />should be protected from mining operations and be stabilized from wind erosion <br />with a perennial grass cover crop ( to be suggested by the Soil Conservation <br />Service). In order to be able to do adequate revegetation of this site, all <br />remaining topsoil must be saved and protected. <br />3. The proposed location of the crusher should be described and/or shown on <br />the map. <br />4. Will product stockpiles now in existence be removed before new material is <br />mined or in an ongoing manner as the mining progresses? <br />Exhibit D <br />1. Water Resources - Wi11 any water be used in this operation for dust <br />control and/or processing? If it will, what will be the industrial use water <br />right available to provide this water? <br />2. Vegetation and Soils - <br />a. Please reference my comments concerning topsoil under Exhibits B <br />6 C, number 2. <br />b. Please review the material referenced by the Soil Conservation <br />Service and send a copy of the description of the vegetation and soils. <br />(I have enclosed a copy of their letter to you and underlined the materials <br />needed <br />Frhihih F <br />1. On March 25, 1982, you mentioned to me that the landowner, Mr. Clench, <br />wishes to use the completed pit bottom as a Iambjng area and corral for his <br />sheep. Please provide our Division with a more detailed outline of this <br />planned future Land use. It may be appropriate to only retopsoil and revegetate <br />the sides of the pit and not the bottom, if this is the intended use. Considering <br />the limited amount of topsoil available, this might allow more topsoil to be used <br />on the sides of the pit in order to promote revegetation there. <br />
