CnK - CONTINENTAL MATERIALS CORPORATION <br /> Response: We request all options be allowed to be based on site conditions. Final slopes steeper than <br /> 3H:1V are difficult to seed across the slope.Therefore, such areas may need to be broadcast seed and <br /> the seeding rate doubled. Benches, if safe, may be drill seeded. For bonding purposes, we recommend <br /> the benches and slopes steeper than 3H:1V be broadcast seeded. Hydroseeding should not be <br /> considered as part of the bond calculation but remains an option we may want to use if practical and <br /> more efficient than other means. <br /> c.Tree planting:The DRMS understands trees will be planted after grass seeding and watered initially to <br /> saturate the roots(ref. p. E-5, Revegetation).The following information is necessary in evaluation the <br /> reclamation bond: <br /> Response: The watering is part of the "enhanced reclamation" and may be performed at CMC's option. <br /> Anything included as Enhanced Reclamation is not part of the reclamation bond calculation, because it is <br /> optional. <br /> i. How will trees be protected from the proposed seeding method? <br /> Response: As stated above, "...trees will be planted after(emphases added)grass seeding..." are <br /> planted and established. If trees are planted after grasses and forbs are established,there should not be <br /> a need to plant and or to replant grass and forb species in such a manner to injure shrubs and/or trees. <br /> If for some reason, interseeding is needed,the areas would be broadcast seeded. <br /> ii. What equipment is planned for watering the trees? <br /> Response: Should CIVIC decide to water as part of the enhanced reclamation, light duty equipment(i.e. <br /> quads) will be used to limit disturbances.Access will be maintained along benches, also to limit <br /> disturbances.As stated above,the watering is optional, and the reclamation bond should be calculated <br /> assuming that no watering occurs. <br /> iii. How much water is required? <br /> Response: The amount of water will depend on the precipitation that occurs; however, as stated above, <br /> the watering is optional, and the reclamation bond should be calculated assuming that no watering <br /> occurs. <br /> iv. What is the source of water? <br /> Response: Water will be obtained from a legal source located onsite.As stated above,the watering is <br /> optional, and the reclamation bond should be calculated assuming that no watering occurs. <br /> Pikeview Quarry Amendment 4, Response to Adequacy <br /> February 7, 2020 <br /> 11 <br />
