road channelling. Methods used will be these which have been approved by the U. S. Forest Sevices for drainage control on roads an forest service lands. Where drainage is channelled off the road, rock or vegetation materials will be placed in such a way as to disperse the drained waters to prevent channelization of flows and subsequent erosion. P-1c. The entire access roadway does not require improvement and the applicant does not foresee any need far improvements at this time.

Adjacent landowners will be notified to allow for consideration of their concerns, if any. as to having such a facility adjacent to their property. P-ie. If drainage across the mine site becomes a problem due to increased erosion, the applicant will use a system of berms and ditches to carry runoff around the mine site. During reclamation, mulch and/vr furrowing will be used to prevent channelized drainage flows on the newly replace or exposed soils. Hav/straw mulch will be secured, if necessary, to assist is the control of erosion of topsoils during revegetation. Surface scarification should 6e adequate to control draingae erosion and most of the soil should contain sufficient debris (rocks, roots, stems, etc.) to hold seeds in place. P-if.
