Ellicott Sand & Gravel - Schubert Ranch Gravel Resource Wildlife Questioner (cont) <br /> 4. ( cont) Mine entrance 38d48'31.7", -104d21'01.6". Turn at HWY 94 - 38d50'19.3", <br /> -104d21'02.6". Attached is a map showing the route and GPS waypoints for the turns listed <br /> above. <br /> 13. (cont) <br /> The soil and overburden stripped will be piled along the outside perimeter of the mine and <br /> parallel to the creek or will be used to reclaim areas previously mined. The site has from 0 <br /> to 6 inches of dirt liked sandy growth medium that will be saved. Then 55 to 70 feet of <br /> sandy gravel will be mined. As mining progresses across a mining areas, reclamation will <br /> follow closely on the areas where mining is done or are no longer needed for mining. <br /> Precautions will be taken to preserve the natural drainage across the property as much as <br /> possible. Black Squirrel Creek is an ephemeral drainage in this reach, but if the mining area <br /> captures runoff during a heavy storm event the areas breached will be rebuilt to preserve <br /> the character of the flow channel. The plan is to leave the excavated areas as dry non lake <br /> areas so no mining will take place within 2 feet of the groundwater table and no groundwater <br /> will be exposed by mining. <br /> Reclamation will involve sloping the exterior of the mined area 3h to Iv from the surface to <br /> the bottom of the mined area and spreading the saved soil and overburden an average of 6 <br /> inches deep to serve as seed bed. The resoiled area will be seeded with the seed mix shown <br /> in the provided seeding guide prepared by Mr. Greg Langer of the local NRCS office. Once <br /> an area is seeded it will be monitored for up to 5 years and remedial work will be done until <br /> it is deemed acceptable by the DRMS. <br /> Attached is a copy of the current requirements needed in the report from the Mined Land - <br /> Rules and Regulations. Any of the information you can provide will be greatly appreciated. <br />
