Eichmann Pit (M-1985-105) <br />Reclamation Plan <br />When construction material has been depleted, all areas will be re -graded to <br />form a 3:1 slope that blends in with the undisturbed adjacent ground. The <br />grade will also be sloped on the North and South side of Pond Creek to restore <br />the streambed. Mining of material in the bed has been executed deeper than <br />the original streambed outside of the affected area. Subsequent rain events <br />will cause sediment to be deposited in the streambed of the affected area, <br />eventually leveling the bed to the same grade as the bed in the unaffected area. <br />Additional imported topsoil material will likely be required to provide <br />quantities sufficient to allow for adequate revegetation of the site. <br />Three to four inches of topsoil will be used to cover the entire reclaimed area <br />(except for the streambed). <br />Supplementing the plant growth medium with 10-20 tons per acre of organic <br />matter (composed manure) will be part of the reclamation process. <br />As needed, compacted areas will be ripped and disked prior to revegetation. <br />Measures taken to re -vegetate the site will be in accordance with the seed mix <br />recommended by the NRCS. <br />
