' o o Transit Mix Concrete Co. <br /> dumped on backfill area F2 and F3, the north and east facing slopes will be regraded to the final <br /> design of 3H:1V slopes and reclaimed. <br /> Phase V-Reclamation <br /> Similar to the phases discussed above, during Phase V, prior to mining progressing downward in <br /> benches, the final endwall benches will be reclaimed. These activities will include placing at least <br /> one-foot of fines/overburden materials covered with six inches of topsoil as illustrated in Figure <br /> F-2 (inset). The fine/overburden material will either be direct hauled from the active mining area <br /> or hauled from F1 stockpile. Once this is finished, the remaining portion of the F1 stockpile (above <br /> elevation 7,250) will be regraded to the final design of 3H:1V slopes. A portion of the <br /> fines/overburden material will be hauled and placed on the western endwall and in the pit to assist <br /> with the final reclamation design as shown in Figure C-8. The F2 stockpile will also be regraded <br /> and reclaimed as each section of the stockpile is completed, and all north and west facing slopes <br /> will be reclaimed in Phase V. A drainage channel is established at F2 to provide an open channel <br /> connecting the stockpile to the pit floor in preparation of final reclamation. This will be reclaimed <br /> as a riparian corridor. The topsoil material will either be direct hauled from the active mining area <br /> or removed and hauled to the regrade area from TS1 or TS4. Following topsoil placement, the <br /> area will be revegetated with the seed mix provided in Table E-3 and with mixed conifer or <br /> mountain shrubland seedlings as discussed in Exhibit E. See Figure C-8 for endwall benches <br /> and backfill area F3 that will be reclaimed during Phase V. <br /> Phase VI-Mining <br /> No mining occurs in Phase VI. <br /> Phase VI-Reclamation <br /> During Phase VI backfill area F2 and F3 will be regraded to the final design of 3H:1V slopes. <br /> Stockpiled topsoil from TS1 and TS4 will hauled to the regraded area and be spread on the areas <br /> and the areas will be seeded with the seed mix provided in Table E-3 and mixed conifer or <br /> mountain shrubland seedlings planted as described in Exhibit E. <br /> As shown in Figure C-9, a drainage channel is established to provide an open channel connecting <br /> the pit area to Little Turkey Creek. This drainage channel begins on the upper lift of the F2 backfilll <br /> area (constructed in Phase V) and continues east through the pit and discharges to Little Turkey <br /> Creek. This channel will be reclaimed as a riparian corridor. <br /> Once mining is completed, the entire mining area and access road will be reclaimed as discussed <br /> in Exhibit E. The access road will be reclaimed as grassland, and the crossing of Little Turkey <br /> Creek will include riparian vegetation. <br /> Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry Permit Application <br /> October 3, 2017 D-11 <br />
