Figure 1 shows the area of both sites captured in <br /> GoogleEarth; the Spring Creek Pit is outlined in red, the Base Products Gravel Pit 1 is shown as <br /> two parcels outlined in blue. Current mining and reclamation plans for each pit include final pit <br /> slopes of 3H:IV around all slopes. <br /> A small strip of land totaling—8 acres exists between the two pits, outlined in yellow shown on <br /> Figure 1. This strip is originally planned to remain once both pits are completed; however, the <br /> strip is now proposed to be collectively mined to the pit floor elevation. Both Oldcastle SW <br /> Group Inc. dba United Companies of Mesa County and Rock Pile, LLC commit to mining to a <br /> common floor. During mining operations, a minimum two-foot tall stormwater berm will be <br /> maintained between the sites to keep runoff separate. <br /> Removal of this pit separation berm will result in a large combined final reclamation foot print. <br /> Reclamation plans for both sites involve final grading of the pit, topsoil replacement, and <br /> revegetation with rangeland species and do not differ from one another. Both Oldcastle SW <br /> Group Inc. dba United Companies of Mesa County and Rock Pile, LLC commit to reclaiming <br /> the mined separation strip to the standards outlined in their collective approved reclamation <br /> plans. <br /> Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions, concerns, or comments. <br /> Sincerely, <br />
