Top Soil Quantity Recap. <br />I measured the top soil berms currently in place on the south side of Phase 2 and the east side of Phase 1. <br />I dug three holes (photos enclosed) in the pasture land areas of the future mining area. The average depth <br />of what I considered topsoil came out to be approximately 15 inches. I used the "TR" Mining Map C3 & <br />Reclamation Map "F" to calculate the quantity of available topsoil and volume of topsoil required. My <br />recap sheet shows the volume of estimated topsoil available versus volume of topsoil required to place the <br />eight inch lift on the slopes and potential wetlands. The available topsoil is greater than what will be <br />needed. Sripped topsoil will be put in berms and saved for reclamation. The locations of these berms will <br />change as the mining area moves upstream. <br />Item 7. Revised Weed Management Plan <br />I ask that the enclosed weed management plan be accepted as response to this inspection item. This plan <br />has been reviewed by the United Companies weed management subcontractor (Eco-Rx Inc.) leader Paul <br />Schriner. This plan has been reviewed and found to be satisfactory by Mr. Callicutt - the Delta County <br />Weed Coordinator. A copy of his response is enclosed. <br />Let me know if you have questions or if more information is needed.
