Ms. Carol Russell June 14 , 1984 Page three feet and at the western terminus of the permit area approxi- mately 6 ,420 feet . 4 . NS&G hereby commits as a term and condition of its permit application that the settling ponds located in the permit area will be operated at all times as a no-discharge system such that there will be not be any discharge of water into the irrigation ditch or other surface waters. 5. A small catchment pond will be constructed by the concrete batch plant operator in order to prevent any possi- bility of soil and water contamination. In addition, NS&G commits that any contaminating material not appropriately handled by the catchment pond will be transferred to the county land dump or otherwise properly disposed of. 6. NS&G understands and agrees to the standard water quantity stipulation upon issuance of its permit , such that NS&G will at all times comply with all applicable state water quantity laws . IV. Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan. 1 . NS&G has determined that certain modifications of the reclamation plan as developed by Land Design Partnership are necessary and desirable in order to enhance the possibil- ity of achieving reclamation success. Specifically, NS&G pro- poses that no seedlings be planted as part of the reclamation plan based upon the advice of the local representative of the Soils Conservation Service that any such seedlings have no chance of survival given the conditions of the permit area. With regard to terracing at 10-foot vertical intervals on the north facing slope, NS&G will instead create a gentle 2 : 1 slope , that will be stable and capable of supporting permanent vegetative cover. This method of regrading is preferable to terracing because terraces will be more subject to sloughing through water accumulation. Moreover, the primary purpose for the terraces was to allow planting for seedlings and this objective is obviated by deletion of the seedling proposal . The seed mixture to be used for the permit area will be that which NS&G determines to be most successful based upon use of the mixture proposed by Land Design Partnership in alternation with use of the mixture proposed by the Soil Conservation Ser- vice, as set forth in its permit amendment application. NS&G has determined from prior experience that use of drill seeding does not substantially enhance the prospects of revegetation success and thus proposes to use broadcast seeding only. NS&G commits to apply mulch at the rate set forth in the Land Design Partnership proposal and will also employ fertilizer,
