. Dr. 'Richard War Chairman March 2, 1979 Page Three 5. We initiated the use of a trash compactor for compact- able refuse at the mine site. The results are reduced requirements for incineration and refuse dump space. 6. We are just completing a 267 foot by 59 foot addition to the office building at the mine site to provide additional dry and office space. This project includes an extension of parking facilities. 7. We leased a Tryco flotation-tired vehicle for spreading Coherex on the tailing for dust control . This vehicle is more efficient than the Flex-Trac vehicle previously used for this task. 8 . A company sponsored C.S .U. study concerning mycoxrhizal- inoculated evergreen seedlings has been completed.. The initial year for field observations was 1978 and the results are encouraging but inconclusive. All land affected by the items listed above was previously designated as disturbed in the accepted permit application. Items 2, 3, 4 and 6 are shown on the updated map (enclosed) . To facilitate the soil stockpiling operation, a 50 foot by 1, 000 foot haul road was constructed just north of the tailing toe dam. The road will be maintained throughout the life of the mine for access inside the northern portion of the tailing basin. Access is necessary for daily operation as well as periodic timber removal, soil stockpiling opera- tions, etc. The road will be extended as the tailing dam grows in height and length. In fact, the road (presently 1. 15 acres) will probably be used for respreading the soil during ultimate tailing reclamation and will be reclaimed as a part of that 1, 314 acre disturbance. Please find enclosed a check for $275. 00 for the annual fee required by rule 2. 42 .
