The permit is set to expire on July 31, 2004, and you aze requesting the permit be extended 10 yeazs to July 31, 2014. Our office conducted a site visit to do a compliance check on March 16, 2004, and found you in compliance except for Special Condition A that states: "That native grasses will be planted within the mining boundaries to reduce erosion, promote the growth of native vegetation, and improve wildlife habitat. Planting wilt be performed during and prior to the completion of the mining operation in areas that are heavily disturbed. " It is appazent that the vehicular activity is of such frequency that to require constant revegetation would be impracticable and a waste of time, resources, and seed. Therefore, Special Condition A is amended as follows: "That native grasses will be planted within the mining boundaries to reduce erosion, promote the growth of native vegetation, and improve wildlife habitat Planting will be performed prior to the completion of the mining operation, if praMical, but must be planted at the cessation of all mining activities." The Corps of Engineers has reviewed your request and, with the additional modification of Special Condition A, extends your permit until July 31, 2014. Be sure to attach this letter to your permit.
