Riprap will he installed on both ends to control erosion. This construction will be on <br /> private land. <br /> A septic system on the private land has been removed and disposed of on private land.This fill area <br /> will also be used for the disposal of any stumps that cannot be used in final reclamation. A drainage <br /> and erosion control report was completed by URS Greiner for this project and has been included with <br /> this plan of operations. This report calls for the installation of a large detention pond located on the <br /> private land portion of this project. Silt fence will be used at the west boundary fence to reduce and or <br /> eliminate storm run off.Silt fence will also be used along the bottom of the intermittent stream to help <br /> insure water quality. These silt fences will be on private land. <br /> There will need to be a new access route constructed on private land to connect to an existing road <br /> p g <br /> on National Forest land in the north drainage by the north(marked boundary)blue line.When final <br /> reclamation is complete this road will no longer exist, and will be reclaimed in conjunction with the <br /> reclamation plan. <br /> All maintenance will be preformed by PK Enterprises for the life of the gravel pit and until final <br /> reclamation has been approved. Slash and topsoil will be stored along the outside of the painted <br /> boundary line. <br /> B.
