Sections 2.04.9E and 2.05,4(4) have been, revised for the purpose of <br />addressing Prime Farmland designations and topsoil redistribution in prime farmland areas. <br />We guess since you won't give a 10 day extension for al) of us to have time to read and re-view <br />T R57, We are totally objecting to it and it's contents for these reasons: <br />(1.) Bench 1 is about 55 feet thick within the permit area ans approximately 83% is suitable <br />subsoil. Why is only 34 inches of material being returned as suitable. This is not acceptable. <br />(2) The total amount of topsoil and suitable will be approximately 4 feet. Where did you get <br />this? <br />Since some places our topsoil depth alone is 72 inches. This is not right- <br />(3)Topsoil stockpiles : It says 1-1.3 as listed on the chart. Only there is 10 listed on the chart, <br />Where are these and they are all listed as inixed. Where is the rest and why are they not listed <br />and where are they out here? There is not 13 stockpiles????? And they list A-K on the chart, <br />where are those 11 stock piles??????? <br />(4)Much of the upper overburden is suitable subsoil. NO!!!! <br />NO topsail is available to be salvaged,from existing ponds, roads, residences, farmyards. This is <br />an, absolute untrue statement. There is a lot of topsoil, in these areas!i!!! M1!1!11 <br />(5)Pernli.t was submitted March 2008. There was NO newspaper addressing this. Mr. Morgan <br />received no letter addressing this, No ONE Knew Anything!!!! Mr. i1iT.orgaa..is blind and it has <br />been discussed and re-discussed between Western. Fuels and right here at the table with the <br />division and we were promised, that any permitting or re-permitting that directly affected the <br />Morgan, plain that as letter and a copy would be sent to Frank Morgan, This never happened. <br />either. <br />(6)1t is a shame that we are forced to Kilitpick and can't have 10 days to examine all ofthi5. We
