JoEllen Turner <br />970 - 864 -7682 p.6 <br />truck - shovel loads a dump truck and by the way, what is a truck shovel and when did <br />they get dump trucks ? ? ?? WATER CANNOT RUN UPHILL FOLKS!!!!! <br />"The Bench one Suitable material is differentiated from the bottom of lift B (c horizon) by <br />greater percentage of coarse fragments." When did this happen. They did "COLOR" <br />change from the beginning and no bench one material can be considered suitable <br />unless the proper testing is done which never was and it had to be preserved and <br />protected which it never was. AND I HAVE PICTURES OF THE SO- CALLED <br />SUITABLE PILE OF ROCKS AS BIG AS MY VOLKSWAGON ALREADY SUBMITTED <br />MANY TIMES. None of this happened and even when 1 have disked the small acreage <br />that was layed, I pulled up rocks that could not be removed except with the backhoe!!! <br />AND MARCIA was there and I have pictures with MARCIA and the rest in the gang in <br />them showing ROCKs during the soil sampling bigger than my rock picker can handle. <br />The point is we had NO ROCKS IN OUR TOPSOIL OR SUBSOIL AND THE LAW <br />PROTECTS THAT WE DO NOT HAVE TO GET LESS THAN WHAT WE HAD BACK 0 <br />US. Ross Gubka documented that NRCS stated that ALL of our soils needed to be <br />returned JUST LIKE THEY WERE and to the same place they were and the aggregated <br />total prime farmland that has already been determined many times can not be <br />diminished from what we had prior to mining. <br />Our Eastern half of our property didn't have greater thicknesses. The ground was frozen <br />and Jim Irvine could only go down so deep. When the actual mining began, our soils <br />were 15 foot deep plus. Not as documented. Pictures of our soils , "A" lift 4 feet or better <br />documented by WFC as 18 inches, "B" lift 15 feet thick documented by WFC as 3 feet. <br />This was also a complaint that was submitted to DRMS and pictures to prove it and the <br />duty of the MINE is SALVAGE ALL AVAILABLE TOPSOIL AS STATED IN THE <br />RULES. Each area is site specific and all available topsoil must be salvaged. It's <br />amazing how Lewicki can describe all of this without being here and take the word of <br />WFC who isn't and hasn't done their job and and tell you why they had this cut off in <br />savaging materials when we had deep deep pockets of rich red soils some of them 20 <br />feet or better and alfalfa roots DOCUMENTED by WFC as being 25 feet deep and corn <br />roots DOCUMENTED by WFC as being 12 feet deep and beautiful rich deep soils as <br />they put it and then now this vaporized also. <br />Some of these foremans didn't even know what we we're talking about, this special <br />training. <br />NRCS does not know what the rules state. NRCS states that 4 feet is desirable, but the <br />rules and regulations state that the soils are to be retumed to the DEPTH, QUALITY, <br />AND QUANTITY THAT WAS IN THE NATURAL EXISTENCE... Read the first <br />paragraph of the rules and then go further. The first paragraph address soils that may <br />be just 40 inches so there fore they cannot require the State to have the mine restore <br />more soils than what was there, but the next paragraph explains that the soils need to <br />be put back to the natural depth and that even the A lift should be thicker than it was. <br />Since they MIXED our soils and stole our A lift from the property the mixed lift is no <br />better now that a subsoil because its all mixed up and they need to bring back BARX 2E <br />soils like we had for our "A" lift and give us back what we had prime farmland prior to <br />mining. <br />The rules and regulations do not allow for you to take our prime farmland West half that <br />had its own depth, quality, and quantity and steal from us again to fix what WFC has <br />37 1 Page <br />
