RE: Surface Mining Reclamation Permit (revised) Number 70-012367
Gentlemen:
Enclosed is Reclamation Permit Number12367, which confirms the permit transfer from Scarcella
Brothers, Inc. and authorizing the continued surface mine reclamation within a 60-acre portion of the
NW 1/4 of the SW 1/4 and the NE 1/4 of the SW 1/4 and the SE 1/4 of the SW 1/4 in Section 20,
Township 23 North, Range 01 West, Willamette Meridian, Mason County. Please refer to the
permit number listed above when submitting inquiries or reports.
RCW 78.44 requires that reclamation of each segment of the permitted area shall be completed
within two years of cessation of mining in that segment. We strongly recommend; however, that
reclamation of each segment occurs concurrent with the removal of the minerals.
We hereby acknowledge receipt of Security Number 103812654 issued by Travelers Casualty and
Surety Company of America in the amount of$35,500.00. The security has been approved and
accepted by the Department of Natural Resources. A copy is enclosed for your file.
You are required to mail a Permit-Fee Invoice and Reclamation Report (Form SM-7) annually to:
Washington Department of Natural Resources. The form must be completed and returned to the
department with one thousand dollars ($1000.00) prior to the revised permit's anniversary date.

Supplemental Text FEB 2 0 2003
Peninsula Topsoils, L.L.C. `-7e010
Application for Reclamation Permit 9Y and tartr�
#70-012367
Introduction
The following report is presented to support a revision to an existing reclamation permit issued
to Scarsella Brothers, Inc. The mine is being purchased by Peninsula Topsoils,LLC. When the
new owners are satisfied that the reclamation of depleted segments by the previous operators
complies with the Department of Natural Resources requirements and sale of the property has
been finalized, the final transfer of permit will take place. Ms. Carol Serdar, Reclamation
Specialist with DNR's Central Region, has outlined the required standards for this phase of
reclamation, although the subsequent use is been altered and approved by Mason County as
Residential R-20.
The site is located about 1 mile north of Beifair in Section 20, T23N, R01W. (See Drawing 1-
Site Plan and Drawing 2 - Site Access Map.) This reclamation plan covers a 60-acre permitted
gravel pit, of which 7 acres have been disturbed to date. Several previous operators have
mined the site since February of 1984 (?). Most recently, Scarsella Brothers Inc. operated the
pit until 1995, when they last submitted an Annual Surface Mine Report.
The proposed subsequent use of the property after mining is slated as Residential R-20. A
revised NPDES plan, Sand and Gravel General Permit, Number WAG 50-1245, has been
prepared and is currently in force.
Sale of the existing 'fill" stockpile will commence immediately followed by plans to mine in a
northeasterly direction from previous mining. Mining will proceed to within 100 feet of a stream
that flows in a northeasterly direction at the northern end of the pit. Depending on market
conditions, mining may extend to the west in the central area of the pit.
Mining operations will include excavation, stockpiling, processing, and shipping of mineral
aggregate. Processing includes mobile and stationary equipment for crushing, washing,
screening and asphalt production. Screening and washing are planned during the summer
months using portable equipment. This campaign crushing will contribute to smaller retention
pond size and better control of stormwater discharge. Excavation will be performed using a
front-end loader.
Rapid runoff rates during storms are a major concern due to unfavorable site geology.
Aggressive ground cover revegetation will take place on disturbed areas just outside the
operating area during the first year to reduce fine sediment discharge. However, a key feature
is discharge to a deep, closed depression in the east-central portion of the mine, which should
offer superior retention.
2 #70-012367
Question #15
Although there has been some confusion within the mining community as to what exactly
"depth" is in relation to this question, the answer to this question is 60-feet (Written note from
Matt Brookshire, DNR). The deepest part of the excavation is and will continue to be in the
vicinity of existing mining activity. The west-central portion of the mine will be mined to a depth
of approximately 20 feet in order to mine the predominantly sandy layer that is interpreted to be
present here.
Questions #16 -#19
There is an estimated 3,000,000 cubic yards of material to be mined at this site. Market
fluctuations may occur. An inflated estimate per year of production is stated to allow for years
when the market is high for aggregate. Some years, of course, will be much lower.
23B - Site Preparation
Saving topsoil and subsoil
The site is composed of recessional outwash gravels and sands with lenses of clay. Topsoil is
thin at this site with an average depth of approximately 0.5 feet. Live topsoil handling will be
utilized, as stockpiling of such thin reserves of topsoil will only result in degradation of this
resource. There were no soil stockpiles at this mine when the sale of the mine took place.
There may be one or more small soil storage areas as mining progresses. See Attachment B
soil budget and Figure 3 Segmental Reclamation Agreement for topsoil movement direction.
Soils in the area are generally sandy and impoverished. Because the topsoil budget indicates a
moderate deficit, the soil will be used mainly on flatter areas, and revegetation will focus on
deep-rooted trees that will help generate a new soil over time.
Revegetation on Segment 1 will be monitored to access its success on the topsoil-impoverished
substrate and, in the event that revegetation is inadequate, the revegetation procedures will be
modified and monitored to assure improved performance.
23C - Setbacks and Screens
A permanent undisturbed buffer is not planned for this site, as the 30-foot setback will be
sufficient. Before Peninsula Topsoils, LLC. bought this site; mining had been completed up to
the mine boundary in a couple of places. No backfilling is proposed for future mining.
Backfilling was completed for parts of Section I that was disturbed by the previous operators of
the mine. A backfill plan for that material was not dictated or suggested by DNR.
There is a 100-ft buffer established along the Type 4 (T4) stream that was identified by Lee
Boad, biologist. This stream was re-routed by a previous owner of the mine, and it does parallel
contour lines as indicated. The stream location was mostly taken from information supplied by
Lee Boad in two reports to Jack Johnson dated August 2002. (copies included in this packet)
23F Ground Water
Groundwater tables are approximate and based on three excavated exploratory pits completed
in May 2002. The pits are in the eastem part of the mine. Groundwater flow is presumed to
follow the Union River valley south, then southwestward to Lynch Cove because of regional
3 #70-012367
topography and because the groundwater system is hemmed in by north-south hills cored with
low-permeability older glacial sediments if not bedrock.
Well logs are attached for properties in the vicinity of the pit. There is a possible perched
aquifer on the southwest of this property. Well logs were briefly examined for wells in the
vicinity of the mine; however, we have no opinion as to the need for a hydrology report Note
that Leslie Geological Services does not perform Hydrogeology and is not licensed to perform
such work in Washington.)
The site will include at least three retention ponds for the control of stormwater discharge. Most
of the capacity of these ponds will be in porous sediment above observed groundwater levels,
so enlarging the ponds creates more capacity. In addition, a large 25-foot deep depression east
of the main product stockpile in northern Segment VI will be developed as a constructed-
wetland/retention pond. (Note: the NPDES plan will be modified to incorporate this depression
as a constructed wetland, so it is not available at this time.) No stormwater will discharge from
the mine site. If necessary, the ponds may discharge water to the forested areas of the eastern
part of the mine with a dissipater system for infiltration to the forest duff and ground.
24 Mining Practices to Facilitate Reclamation
Slopes will be mined to their final configuration of between 2.5HAV and 3.OHAV. Topography
will be sinuous in plan and profile. A 30-foot setback has been planned and is marked on the
ground where appropriate. There is not enough room to mine effectively at the northeast corner
of the mine due to the 100-foot setback on the T4 stream. (See Figures)
