Specifically, Map 3, Loadout Area <br />Reclamation, seeding and interseeding illustration. <br />The Interseeding is detailed in the Legend, intended to illustrate that the <br />interseeding occurred on almost all of the Loadout but only covering 25 percent of the <br />Loadout area. The 25 percent interseeding of the area was approved by the Division with <br />the understanding that the interseeding would not reset the `clock' for the 10 year <br />reclamation liability period. A detail that was missing in the illustration was that the <br />interseeding was done in `drill strips' metered by the seed-drill's meter totaling 3.75 acres <br />(25% of the area). <br />As you request, for a clearer illustration we have revised Map 3, Loadout Area <br />Reclamation map. A copy is enclosed for your review. <br />Sincerely, <br />orge . Patterson <br />Gen Mine Manager
