Jeer Mr. Mathias:
We have reviewed the auove application for adequacy and have the
following questions, comments and requests which are intended to help
bring the application into compliance with the Mined Land Reclamation
Act. Please respond on a point-by-point basis in the order given below.
In general, however, the application is pretty yood -- you seem to have
conceptualized the intent of the law. These inquiries are thus
principally written to help you to ultimately achieve your goal of
wildlife conservation.
exhibit B - Mining Plan
1. Vlease indicate the thickness of topsoil present (mean), and
indicate the volume of topsoil which will be salvaged for use in
reclamation.
2. As a stabilization measure, Rule 6.4(a) requires that topsoil
stockpile(s) be planted with a vegetative cover. We would recommend you
broadcast (and rake) 15 lbs/acre Western Wheatgrass.
3. Indicate where the topsoil will be stockpiled.
4. Indicate the maximum depth to be mined.
~ 5. The staff encourages the operator to post (flagging, stakes, etc.)
tree permit boundaries and topsail stockpiles. Tnis posting is not
required uy law but will provide fur a more orderly operation and may aid
in avuidiny possiole future proulems involving permit area - property
boundary conflicts and unauthorized topsoil removal.
