RECLAMATION PLAN EXHIBIT D <br /> 6 . 3 .4 - Final grading will be such that the topography is <br /> appropriate to the reclaimed use of the property, i . e . , as a <br /> private home site . The east slope left when material removal ends <br /> will be graded 3h to lv and the floor of the mine will be flat and <br /> daylight out along the south, west and north sides . The RECLAMATION <br /> PLAN MAP-EXHIBIT E-2 shows how we think the area will look when it is <br /> reclaimed. <br /> Reclamation will begin once the final floor level has been <br /> reached. The disturbed area will be shaped to match the final <br /> configuration needed to shape the building envelope area, the <br /> stock piles of topsoil will be spread on the east slope an average <br /> of 8 inches and the large stockpiles of dirty sand and dirt will <br /> be spread evenly over the gravel floor (-14" deep) . The Develop- <br /> ment area will not be resoiled until construction ends However, it <br /> will be temporarily seeded if development does not begin before <br /> seeding is required. If the revegetation areas are ready after <br /> the ideal planting time seeding will be done the first growing <br /> season after resoiling was completed. Actual construction and <br /> placement of the Development structure and features is not part of <br /> this Reclamation Plan as it will be controlled by Grand County <br /> under their development guidelines . <br /> Fertilizer will be used to enhance the seed growth and will <br /> be spread using a tractor pulled rotary spreader, on the seedbed <br /> and disced in during seedbed preparation. <br /> Seeding will occur between September 15th and May 31st <br /> Generally before the first freeze in the fall or after the last <br /> freeze in the spring. The seed will be drilled to insure maximum <br /> germination and most rapid cover establishment . The seeding mix <br /> and species of grasses to be used on the area are shown on page 18 <br /> of this report . The seed will be obtained from a supplier in the <br /> area so the mix is adapted to local conditions . Only inaccessible <br /> areas (if any) will be broadcast seeded. If the seed is broad- <br /> cast, the seed rates will be doubled. The seeded area will then <br /> be mulched using 2000 lbs/acres of clean straw and crimped onto <br /> the seed bed. <br /> After the second growing season the site will be inspected <br /> and an assessment of revegetation success will be done to deter- <br /> mine if additional seeding will be necessary. If the analysis <br /> shows additional work is needed it will be done that fall . <br /> Weed control will be implemented prior to and during <br /> revegetation activities . This does not mean we will attempt to <br /> kill all weeds, since some provide a natural ground cover and <br /> shade for emerging grass . We will concentrate on controlling the <br /> noxious weeds on the reclaimed area . <br /> Track 4 Grading Project June 11, 2020 <br /> 25 <br />
