Dear Mr. Sorenson;
J e
The folbwing are our responses to the Items listed in your Adequacy
of Application fetter of May 26, 2004:
Soil And Planiing
You agree that the law aril the regulations bosh requrre that affected
land be revegetated do a vegetative cover equal to or greater than the
existing vegetative cover at the site. Since Uie existing vegetative Dover at
the site is esserrtialty zero, Everist Materials is not required to revegetate the
site.
However, we do agree that some vegetation on the site would help
to reclaim many environmental and aestheticaspecxs of the site, including
some of the visual, wildlife, air, and water gt,~lity concerns related to
harvesting Uiis maderial.
You have suggested that we co~ it to inv and report to
DMG on the potential to Incorporate oust effective soi ndmenis into the
reclamation of the affected land - namely savrng.the screen and crusher lines
and amending same with horse manure.,Qnd hay or straw b build a sob to aid
revegetation of the srte.
We do wish to rev etate the site, but we do not wish to do research
on revegetating amended~nes and do not wish to report to you about the
progress of the research. Therefore, as disa~sed; we will sigtificantly ~.
improve upon your suggestion and committo plating an avenge of 1-irtch~of
sal to the sire to aid the revegetation effort That amount of soil will provide
far better vegetation than fines amended with horse manure and straw or hay.
Also as discussed witi1 you, we do not-expect to be held to any
r vegetation standards at this site (because the law requires no revegetation
of this sRej.
