Hernandez, Alysha <br />From: <br />Sent <br />To: <br />Cc: <br />Subject: <br />Hello, Ross <br />During my inspection on May 1, 2012, you mentioned that now that WFC has purchased the Lloyd property, it might be <br />beneficial to WFC to be able to shift the IP (25.62 acres) further to the west. This change would make use of a side roll <br />sprinkler feasible, in lieu of the currently approved gated pipe and furrows, <br />1 discussed this issue with Sandy Brown upon my return to the office. A review of the permit has brought to light some <br />complicating factors. Post- mining topography and Land use, as approved with PR -06, appears on Map 2.05.4 -5. It is not <br />clear that the reclaimed topography for the WFC (formerly Johnson) property, west of the Lloyd. parcel, will be <br />Conducive to the use of side roll sprinklers; the slope of the eastern side of the WFC parcel is noticeably steeper than <br />that on the Lloyd IP area. <br />A more significant issue may be the topsoil thickness. As shown on Map 2.05.4 -7, topsoil replacement thicknesses on <br />the eastern portion of the Lloyd parcel are an average of 21 inches. The average thickness for the western Lloyd and all <br />of the WFC parcel is only 13 inches. Revegetation success would be more difficult to achieve on the thinner soils. <br />If Western Fuels does choose to pursue a modification of the location of the I c age, a Technical Revision application <br />will be required. <br />Please let me know if you have any additional questions. <br />Murcia <br />Marcia L.
