This makes it difficult to judge whether <br />or not the mining and reclamation is proceeding as permitted. <br />3. Active mining and stoc;rpiling of product is occurring. <br />4. Tte evidence of gullying in areas not recently disturbed on both gentle and steep <br />slopes indicates that this material is very susceptible to water erosion. <br />5. Peciamalicn in tr:e pit area has not yet occurred. Topsoil may have been stockpiled <br />to the north and cast of the pit area, but i.ts rocY.y nature makes it difficult to know <br />if this is topsoil. Some erosion of this material is occurring by the haul road, and <br />grass co:•er is somewhat sparse. Since about IO' of overburden toes removed to expose the <br />gravel, it ^tust be stockpiled somewhere. <br />1. Bring annual reports and fees up to date (as Mazk Heffner is now working on). <br />2. Incorporate erosion control techniques with revegetation to compensate for erosive <br />nature of `he substrata. <br />3. Clarify (probably using annual reports) the exact locations of topsoil stockpiles <br />(and amount stockpiled), areas being actively mined, areas reclaimed, areas to be mined in <br />future, anal other current details of the operation. <br />9. Make sure that the overburden/topsoil stockpiles are adequately vegetated and not <br />eroding. <br />:aspect=_u by: __/~?~ ct] - ~ISL' <br />[Z2 ~~.cT~aL1~R SDE^_~r:D <br />MSL/mmt <br />
