List any goernment approals or permits that will be needed for your proposal, if known. Reclamation Plan (forms SM-2 through SM-8) Reclamation Permit Stonn Water m Discharge Permit Passed the DOT State inspection (QS-L-288) Access Connection Permit (D01) Class I general Forest Practice Permit SW APCA certification approal Gie brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are seeral questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. (Lead agency may modify this form to include additional specific information on project description.) Further deelop a pre-existing basalt quarry used for forest road construction and for DOT emergency projects. Aproxirnately 20k cubic yards remoed since Continued deelopment will progress in phases. Within the proposed 28.6 acre permit area about 15 acres will be disturbed by mining.
