The attached map <br />shows the areas we feel have been reclaimed to the standards out- <br />lined in our permit. Also attached is the Reclamation Affidavit <br />and address and phone number for the landowner. <br />Slope grading, resoiling and revegetation has been completed <br />on parts Lake Robert and Lake Marjorie located in the older section <br />of the mine. Underwater sloping was completed in Lake Robert and <br />along parts of the west, east and the north side of Lake Marjorie. <br />The above water levels were resoiled and seeded in these areas from <br />1998 to 2007. There has been some natural invasion of trees in <br />this area also. Reclamation has been successful in the areas <br />colored on the map and are ready for release. This request is to <br />release everything east of the ditch in Lake Robert and portions of <br />Lake Marjorie underwater slopes cross hatched and the above water <br />areas, colored green, from further reclamation. The actual lake <br />area in Lake Marjorie is needed for the dredge that will be used to <br />complete mining on the southern end of the lake. Table A show the <br />amount of area in each lake area that has been reclaimed and is <br />ready for release. The release of Lake Robert will reduce the <br />permit area by 22.72 acres leaving the total permitted area as <br />63.63 acres ±. <br />If you agree that these areas are reclaimed we will then <br />request a bond reduction to take some of the underwater backfill <br />sloping costs from the bond. Please call me when you are ready tc <br />do the site inspection so I can accompany you at that time. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Darren Gebhart <br />Vice President <br />cc Environment, Inc. <br />File. <br />enclosure <br />A? btv
