P-lh. Waste rock. dumps will 6e removed and if the materials are to be screened, the materials larger than minus two inch will be dumped where a previously removed dump was situated. See Exhibit E - Map for the relocation of the screened waste rock:. Soils under the old waste dumps will be left in place. The material will not 6e salvaged if screened wastes are to be left on the site. The waste rock will not be covered with any soil since materials larger than minus two inch would not lend itself to retention of soils. Most soil would be washed off the dump or down through the voids. P-ii, Soil will not be removed from previously disturbed sites. Soil will be stockpiled and salvaged only from new areas of disturbance. Soil will be salvaged to a depth of 12 inches. Soils below this depth will be left in place. P-1~. The applicant plans to reworl; only previously disturbed surface lands. As such there is no need to stockpile topsoil. If any new disturbance would cause the potential loss of top soils, the soil will be salvaged. P-iF::. See E::hibit C - Map and Exhibit E - Map. C-la. Consideration of a loadout area has been withdrawn from the application and there is no planned improvements to the access road, Should anything change these plans, the applicant will provide MLftD, other regulatory agencies, and adjacent landowners with the proposed plans prior to implementing any activities to the specific site of road improvement and/or operation of a loadout. C-lb. The U. S. Forest Service is the only adjacent landowner to the permit area in the application. D-1. It is the applicant's understanding that MLkD has received DOW's assessment of wildlife effects of the mining operation. D-2. The ford has been used for many years by a variety aof private and commercial vehicles. The stream flows rapidly through the ford area sweeping the bottom of fine materials. The larger rack provides a nearly paved bottom which will not require any improvements. Pictures of the ford can 6e provided to substantiate the above claims before use by the applicant. Haul truc4;s will be inspected regularly to insure that oil and fuel leaks will be repaired to prevent such contamination of the stream. Some dust and dirt may be washed from the wheels of the haul trucks causing some short term turbidity problems. Due to the volume of stream flow. flow rate and the expected low dirt accumulation on the undercarriage of the truc~;s, turbidity will have little effect on downstream water quality.
