Reclamation Unit: East end of South Berm. This area has mounds of what looks like overburden <br /> mixed with some soil that has been stacked on top of an unreclaimed cut face that is very steep to nearly <br /> vertical. Its east end is adjacent to and south of the erosion area just described above. Both of these <br /> areas could be reclaimed at the same time. <br /> The piles of material on the top can be pushed over the edge to bury the cut face. All of the <br /> material down to the original surface will be deposited over the cut face. The top of the area where the <br /> piles were located will be very gently sloped to the north -just a couple of degrees is all that is needed so <br /> rainwater that falls on the top of the area flows northward rather than southward toward the privacy <br /> fences that are a short distance to the south. <br /> To finish the slope, soil and overburden from the North Berm will be hauled to here, as needed, <br /> and spread over the covered cut face to finish creating a 3:1 slope from the top to the bottom. Care will <br /> be exercised to not create a steep section at the top of the slope but rather the slope will be uniform from <br /> top to bottom or even less steep at the bottom. That is, the top of the slope will be no steeper than 3:1, <br /> although the lower parts of the slope can be less steep. Soil will be at least 6" deep at the top of the slope <br /> and can be deeper on the lower slopes as needed to create the proper slope grade. But nowhere shall the <br /> soil be less than 6" deep. <br /> The south side of the berm here begins as a fairly low rise on the east that rapidly gets higher to <br /> the west. This slope must also be reduced to 3:1 in a way that does not interfere with water flow along <br /> the north side of the privacy fence or is up against the fence. <br /> The toe of the eastern end of this filling and grading on the north slope will be blended with the <br /> gradual slope from the finished southeast erosion area described previously where the two meet near the <br /> floor of the pit. <br /> Vollmer Pit Technical Revision June 2018 Updated Reclamation Plan Page 11 of 26 <br />
