The land owner <br />has requested that we leave a small berm around the western edge of the pit floor to prevent <br />potential erosion from occurring. The landowner is concerned that water running off of the pit <br />floor to the west will start gully erosion along the face of the unmined slopes below the gravel pit <br />floor. <br />Weld County will leave the berm as requested by the land owner. The berm will be seeded with <br />the same native seed mix that is to be used on the rest of the site. Additionally, Weld County <br />will slightly slope the pit floor back to the east in an effort to prevent erosion along the western <br />site of the pit floor. It is expected that all of the grading and top soiling will be completed by the <br />end of August. We anticipate seeding and mulching the entire site between mid - September and <br />mid - October. <br />The landowner will not allow Weld County to fence the disturbed area in order to keep livestock <br />off of the reclamation. Weld County is committed to reclaiming the mined area but if the <br />landowner allows livestock into the permit area, it is going to be difficult to obtain the Division's <br />required level of vegetative cover. <br />Please call with any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Clay Kimmi, P.E., CFM <br />Weld County Public Works <br />Original: Division of Reclamation Mining & Safety <br />CC to File: Peters Permit File <br />VAF d- RPT S -1-15 /Ajo V/,JcjlonS <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />M: \Clay \GravelPits\Peters Pit \Peters No 2 Pit Technical Revision Cover Letter.doc <br />R�C <br />s <br />� Fp p�� � <br />N�NG RFC <br />�S,gF�gTj�N <br />
