RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> groundwater remediation plan on the southern portions of the site east of Academy Boulevard <br /> there are a lot of constraints imposed to produce a good blending of those uses with the pit itself. <br /> The sediment pond area west of Academy Boulevard, now that the processing plant has <br /> been removed from the permit, is rather easily reclaimed. When sediment deposition has been <br /> completed and the area allowed to dry out some so the surface is more firm, this area can be <br /> Qp <br /> tsoiled and seeded. In areas where woody vegetation has already become established, care <br /> must be exercised to limit the amount of disturbance while reclaiming. There is little point in <br /> destroying that which nature has provided and which already meets the selected final land use. It <br /> may be that not much effort will be needed to reclaim this area, but anywhere nature has not <br /> provided the proper natural vegetation, active reclamation will be required. <br /> The east side of Academy is considerably more complex. The southeastern corner will s` C <br /> have a very gentle slope upward into the old Little Johnson Reservoir area. The southwestern <br /> corner, where the ew s�imentwill be established, will be turned into a forested area very J <br /> similar in size and character as the sediment basin on the west side of Academy. The rest of the '°✓ <br /> eastern side, all of the northern side, and the west side north of the tunnel will hav 4:1 lopes o <br /> above and 5 5:1 to 4:1 slopes below where the Fountain Mutual Ditch bench will be established. <br /> These slopes will be revegetated to grass. The northern upper slope (above the ditch)will rise up <br /> to the new airport highway. The rest of the west side and most of the south side will be sloped to <br /> 3:i`and grade into the floor of the pit. It is important to note that on the south side there will be <br /> somewhat of a broad terraced pattern with the higher level to the east and the lower level to the <br /> west including the new sediment basin and its forested area. The E of the pi will become a <br /> bjg4q, nearly level grassed basin,possibly with some localized spots of woody vegetation where <br /> the groundwater is closer to the surface. <br /> No lakes will be created other than the recharge facility that has been in place for many <br /> years. By the time all of this is finished or even well before that point, the remediation program <br /> to remove solvents from the groundwater and being conducted by others may well be completed. <br /> RECLAMATION OF THE LITTLE JOHNSON RESERVOIR AREA <br /> As was done in the mining plan(Exhibit D), the reclamation plan for the Little Johnson <br /> Reservoir area is presented as it was approved in that amendment. Because of the special <br /> requirements, due to the presence of the groundwater remediation program, the plan for this area <br /> is best kept as a separate section in this exhibit. Any editing of that plan is indicated in the same <br /> way as it was done in the mining plan. That is, the original text is crossed out and any new text is <br /> shown in capitals. After this plan is a section that discusses any particular needs to merge this <br /> Daniels Sand Pit Amendment (2008) Exhibit E Page 3 of 22 <br />
