Transit Mix Concrete Co. <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. Final grading and reclamation of the F1, pit crest, and F2 area <br /> includes grading this area to a smooth topography free of highwalls and other abrupt changes in <br /> topography. A drainage channel is established at F2 to provide an open channel connecting the <br /> stockpile to the pit floor in preparation of final reclamation. This will be reclaimed as a riparian <br /> corridor. The upper section of this channel will be vegetated as it has a low-gradient slope, the <br /> middle section will be armored with riprap, and the lower section is excavated into bedrock, which <br /> provides erosion protection. Additional details on the channel are included in Exhibits E and G. <br /> The topsoil material will either be direct hauled from the active mining area or removed and hauled <br /> to the regrade area from TS1 or TS4. Following topsoil placement, the area will be revegetated <br /> with the seed mix provided in Table E-7 and with mixed conifer or mountain shrubland seedlings <br /> as discussed in Exhibit E. See Figure C-8 for endwall benches and backfill area F3 that will be <br /> 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-7 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 /> Table D-3 illustrates the affected areas for each of the Phases of mining by disturbance type. <br /> Disturbances associated with the scale house are included in the "roads" acreage. Affected land <br /> areas associated with "Plant" and "Topsoil Stockpile" are also included in the "Mining Area" and <br /> "Roads" areas; therefore, values listed under "Plant" and "Topsoil Stockpile" are not included in <br /> the "Affected Area" columns. <br /> Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry Permit Application <br /> March 20,2018 D-12 <br />
