DEFICIENCY NOTICE CMLRB I I2 Permit Application <br />Agile Stone Systems, Inc. <br />• concluded that if the State Engineer's office enforces these water rights, they <br />will probably lower the water table and/or water reaching the Steer's spring. <br />Since the Steer's spring appears to be derived from an outwash aquifer, <br />there is no geological structure for any blasting to disrupt. These test results <br />and conclusions are thoroughly discussed in Exhibit G. <br />25. During the August 15, 1997 pre-operation inspection, Bill Fehr and Mitch Albert <br />of Agile Stone Systems stated that a berm to screen the mining operation at gravel <br />extraction area B would be constructed southwest of that area. This berm must be <br />discussed in the mining plan. All dimensions of the berm must be provided. <br />Describe where construction materials will come from. Show the berm on the <br />Mining Plan Map and discuss reclamation of this disturbance in the appropriate <br />exhibit. <br />The berm southwest of gravel extraction area B is shown on the Mining Plan <br />Map. The dimensions are shown on the maps in Exhibit C and in tables in <br />Exhibit D. Discussions are contained in Exhibit D, E and L. Construction <br />material will come from gravel and granite plant material. Once a berm <br />begins reaching its design dimensions, especially south facing, it will be <br />covered with topsoil from the temporary topsoil pile. This screening berm is <br />a permanent structure which will not be reclaimed as it will eventually be <br />• completely revegetated during these initial and subsequent near term <br />operations. <br />26. At the pre-operation inspection, the Division learned that the location of sections <br />of the permit azea rail line would be moved and other sections would be <br />eliminated. Make appropriate changes to the Mining Plan Map. <br />Any discussed railroad track locations have been made and appropriately <br />marked on the appropriate maps. <br />27. It was also learned during the pre-operation inspection that the plant azea for <br />gravel will be lowered 4-5 feet or more. Discuss this new land configuration in <br />the mining plan; describe what will be done with the excavated material; show <br />both on the Mining Plan Map and provide any necessary changes to the <br />reclamation plan and map. <br />The plant area on the gravel bar will be lowered an average of about 8'. See <br />Mining Plau Map in Exhibit C. The material from the plant area will be <br />topsoil or plant feedstock. The topsoil will be placed on the temporary <br />topsoil pile. The gravel will be placed on gravel area IB after its topsoil has <br />. been removed. <br />
