1. We are receiving our Land Disturbance and mining permit for this project any day
now. They are OK with the 25 feet buffer. We have added 10 feet to it so equipment
can access the excavation area. This 10 foot area is shown as disturbed.
Understand there will be no dewatering. Excavation will be with pans and dozers
down to groundwater, and with drag lines from there down. Any stockpiling will be in
the excavation areas, as per our forthcoming land disturbance and mining permit.
Groundwater will remain in the excavation at essentially the same elevation as it is
now in those areas - it will just be open to the atmosphere. Other than the crossings,
we do not plan any work that will affect the wetlands or its hydrogeology. We feel the
25 feet buffer plus the 10 feet maintenance area will. be more than adequate to
avoid any impacts to the wetlands. We do not recommend any change in the plans
at this late date. Please call Kristen Hickland, if you feel necessary.
2. The crossings will be at existing grade. There will be no roads installed. The
equipment and dump trucks will drive at existing grade over the crossing areas. Mats
will be used if needed to keep them from getting stuck. Silt fence will border the
crossings. After the project is done, the crossings will be leveled back only to the
extent necessary to remove ruts. Mats and silt fence will be removed. This has
been conveyed to Henry Wicker some time ago and he was OK-with it. We do not
need culverts out there and do not want to install them. We feel culverts will disturb
the wetlands more than necessary anyway. Based on this, we are not adding the

requested cross section or pipe. We assume you will concur.
3. We are not dewatering, as mentioned above. We assume this means we do not need
monitoring wells and we assume this means we do not need an operation and
maintenance plan.
