ENVIRONMENT, INC. PAGE 2 <br />AUGUST 10, 201 1 <br />(d) The original imported topsoil was delivered to the site during <br />2001 and importing will continue thru the life of the mine. <br />The existing topsoil pile came from Fox Run, a'low income <br />community developed by Grand County and was clean dirt <br />excavated from the building foundation areas. <br />(e) The imported materials will be used to resoil mined areas as <br />described in the Reclamation Plan or used for slope <br />reconstruction as discussed in the Inert Fill Notice. Using <br />imported growth medium will increase the chances'that <br />revegetation will be successful. Use of inert material to <br />create slopes allows Grand County to maximize utilization of <br />the gravel available at the mine. <br />(f) See the Inert Fill Notice document for this information. <br />5. Grand County will commit to protecting the topsoil and <br />overburden piles if they remain disturbed for more then 180 <br />days as you suggest. We propose substituting 3.0 # -pls Western <br />Wheatgrass, that is a native seed, in place of the 3.0 # -pls <br />Crested Wheatgrass. Using a single seed is more cost <br />effective for the county then using an expensive seed mix when <br />temporarily seeding growth medium piles that may be disturbed <br />later. <br />Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan (Rule 6.4.5) <br />6. As noted before we will use Western Wheatgrass instead of <br />Crested Wheatgrass. Find copies of revised pages 5 & 10 <br />attached. <br />Exhibit R- Proof of Filing with County Clerk and Recorder (6.4.18) <br />7. Attached is a copy of the cover letter showing the adequacy <br />packet was placed with the Grand County Clerk and Recorder. <br />It included a copy of the Divisions adequacy review letter <br />also. <br />Thanks for your help on this permit and if you have any other <br />questions or need more information please call me. <br />Sincerely., <br />Environment, Inc. <br />Stevan L.
