Commissioner Llewelyn asked about land reclamation plan. Per RCW 78.44, the project would follow a reclamation plan that is a condition of permit approval. The Department of Natural Resources sets reclamation conditions for segmented reclamation. Topsoil is retained onsite and then used to plant trees at end of mining project. Commissioner Koan asked why Pope is leasing land that is being reclaimed. Ransavage says that it is because Miles Sand and Gravel is the one legally responsible for the current reclamation project.
