In the event that the.:mini.ng operaaion:'did .not.p-ro.we `successful at for -some other reason the Logans were not able ,to iti't .a•te and 'complete reclamation of the land, the performance bond would allow .the C6un.•ty .:-".'to'.. complete. the work by hiring someone to do .it.

Phase I. would restrict him to a maximum output of .2O cubic yards per .day, the li,mit- ::�ation on his current permit from the `Departmen.t of Fish and Game. • Phase .1I .would double the output of mined material to 40 cubic yards ger`day.

DI'SCUSSION; OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION Summary: The project is a permit for a placer mine :and a reclamation plan. The project area has been exten- sively worked in the past and has been .known asthe.,�Xear..- _..Thc gold bearing strata cro'ss�e""'t`Yie canyon from eastto twest; and the -gold is contained in tertiary gavel deposits. above a ` b-edro`ck of Mariposa slate. The strata is believed to.pe:,a portion of the tertiary Mag alia channel. The gold beaxIn.g strata is believed to be about 1/3 to 2/3 mile.wi.de..and-between 90 to- 180 fe°i' Iii depth as it passes through the canyon. The subsurface i.s composed of cemented, river washed gravels ranging. — ram- sina3l . atori.es t o very--l.apg==e sb'o-u1 d ers-.sugge est in g =$- i gam. - quantity in the :channel in' the' past; The Mariposa :s=late. ha -s been turned sideways under the ..gravels creating a natural trap for gold of `l1 sizes. Assay information indicates rich depos- its of minerals throughout the tertiary gravel layers. li The mining operation itself will be open -pit and wil1--c-.;be .staged over a period of years.

One of your neighbo.r-6- indicates concern that a fill with a four -foot culve J�'*tght wash out and cause :'- ubsequent damage to downstream - structures. It is not A.1y my business but I�'would suggest that you give this some consideration and make calculations if you- do propose such an installation. You would also need the a:prp-.r' of Fish and Game if you are going to do such an installation. Your mining plan didn't indicate the possibility of the culvert installation so this is only a suggestion if appropriate.
