They are attached. <br />6.3.4 EXHIBIT D - Reclamation Plan <br />Need control methods are required to be used for all noxious weeds on site, and a generic <br />flan to control all noxious weeds should be included in all permit applications. If a specific <br />oxious weed species appears in the future, the plan may need to be modified to deal with <br />hat particular species at that time. <br />ogan County has a noxious weed spray program. Should noxious weeds be discovered at the <br />ite, Mr. Couch will either retain the Logan County Weed Spray program to control the noxious <br />eeds or the services of Mr. Ben Winemiller who assists him with the pit. <br />gain, I believe it may be worth pointing out for clarification that there is an existing pre- <br />ermit high-wall along the northeast side of the site that is outside the current permit <br />oundary and specify if this area will be impacted by proposed reclamation activities <br />ssociated with this permit. <br />here is a high wall that lies to the northeast side of the current permit boundary. When we <br />expand the pit approximately 200 feet to the east a portion of that high wall will be contained <br />ithin the new permit boundaries. We do plan to include that in our reclaimed area as we <br />?ontinue mining and move toward final reclamation. <br />?ne reclamation costs are still under review at this time. Your estimate appears to be well <br />prepared; however, the division is required to complete a separate bond estimate as well. <br />Once all adequacy issues are addressed, this will be completed. <br />e realize the division will prepare their cost estimate for final reclamation. <br />¢.3.5 EXHIBIT E - Map <br />he maps with the proposed permit boundary should be modified to show that the affected <br />t ea/permit boundary will not be within 200 feet of the ditches to the south of the site, <br />ess a damage waiver is obtained from the ditch owners. It would appear that this would <br />, quire the removal or modification of the "tail" on the south end of the proposed <br />.Te <br />?ermitted area. You may also want to take another look at the contouring on the <br />reclamation plan map - as submitted it would appear to be a "pit", but on-site it seems to <br />1- a more of a "ridge removal" with the ridge/high-wall on the north end of the site, but most <br />of the remaining area being at the same level as the access road.
