C~ Department of Natural Resources -4- 1D. Concerning Area A, what will be th tailings pile? Will drainage control erosion for final reclamation? Apr~l 26, 1985 i e final reclaimed sloes of this need to be implemented to minimize Area A will have a final reclaimed slope of nearly hori ontal to a / maximum of 3:1 on the peripheral of the revegetated ta'ls. This should provide for a stable land form compatible to the fi al land use of the permit area. The reclamation of the tailing will be ccomplished with sufficient reconstructed drainage and contoured in manner to reduce erosion, especially during revegetation. The final overall reclaimed slope of area of Phase I will~be 3:1 and will reflect the natural topography. Soil amendment addition will depend on soil tests conducted prior to seed as outlined in Exhibit ,paragraph 17. Until the planting medium can be tested later during th season of 1985, it cannot be determined if soil amendments are nee ed and the ~ application rate to maximize the success of the revegetati n program. Minerals, Inc. probably added soil amendments to their test plot. • 11. It is stated that all water impoundments will be remov d. Roads, facilities, pipelines, trash, and old equipment are not mentioned. Please address the removal and associated reclamation of th se items. Upon the completion of the project, the portable mill willl`be removed from the permit area as well as the rolling stock and support vehicles. / The upper metal pipeline which runs from Penn Creek to the of equipment site will 6e left since its grade has already revegetat d and its / removal will create a greater environmental impact than r maining in place. The lower P.V.C. line will be removed and, if necessar ,portions of the grade will be seeded by broadcasting of the same see mix as is approved on the rest of the permit area. The accessways not necessary for the access to the other mi ing claims and Forest Service land of Penn Mountain will be reclai~ed in the permit area. The trash generated from the mining of the permitted ar a will be removed and disposed of to legal and designated dumps in P rk County. ~ The mining of the project will not generate large volumes of rash. Old abandoned equipment left from previous operators will not a removed unless it becomes necessary in the mining of the permit a a. Since the mining of the permit area will not disturb the larger pieces of ~ the old stationary mill, it will be left as it was found. ~J 12. It is noted that Native Pines are mapped on one of your ma s. Is it feasible to plant trees in the areas where little or no tops it will be replaced?
