mop <br />LANGSTON <br />K Of • - <br />stockpiled and properly managed for the duration of material extraction activities. This material <br />will be utilized near the end of the excavation for placing on the backslopes & floor for <br />reclamation. We estimate there to be approximately 1' - 3' of soil. All of this material will be <br />salvaged for reclamation purposes and shall be mixed together prior to installation for those <br />purposes. <br />Towards the beginning of excavation, the material will be placed within the previously disturbed <br />area on the South side of the property; directly to the North of the High Meadows HOA vacant <br />land that sits approximately due East of the High Meadows Subdivision. There is logistically <br />nowhere else to put the material until some of the land is cleared off and more open space is <br />available. This location provides an area that is already a depression, in nature, and naturally <br />controls stormwater from running off. It is not a pond, but it slopes to the North and is backed up <br />into the area proposed to be excavated later within this permit application. Additional <br />topsoil/planting media information can be found in Exhibit I of this application. Vegetation <br />information can be found in Exhibit J of this application. <br />Once the material is in place and compacted and the slope is developed, hydro -seeding will occur <br />for the revegetation of the reclaimed land. The access road in and out of the property will also <br />not be reclaimed as that will transition into the subdivision access road and will remain a gravel <br />surface. <br />We plan on excavating approximately three acres at a time. The primary direction of excavation <br />is to the East, in a North-South manner. Meaning, material will be removed from West to East, <br />but the excavation will occur from North to South. We will remove a "slot" the entire length of <br />the property, then move to the East and do it again. We believe the deposit to be roughly 20' <br />deep on the North end and will taper down at the South end. We do not plan on moving <br />equipment to the site and removing ALL the soil/vegetative material off all 22 acres at once. We <br />will remove approximately three acres at once, excavate the material under the soil, move, <br />remove approximately three acres of soil/vegetative material, excavate the material under the <br />soil, move and so on. <br />We anticipate this to be an intermittent operation. We do not plan on being on the site 24/7 for <br />365 days a year. As explained before, we are not financially capable of cash flowing this <br />operation. The excavation will commence and cease when funds depict. Also, we are too busy in <br />the summer months when construction season is in full swing. We plan on utilizing existing <br />resources owned by the company. (ie trucks, excavators, loaders) We anticipate the majority of <br />this work occurring in the winter months when construction season is slow; when we anticipate <br />we will have time. <br />Stormwater control is going to be interesting. Given that we are excavating off a bluff, there is <br />no place to put a sediment pond until some area of the bluff is removed. As it sits currently, <br />whatever stormwater run-off there may be drains off the bluff and does what is wants. It is <br />apparent that not much run off occurs currently given the average rainfall per year is minimal <br />and the fact that the ground is covered in vegetation. <br />902 South Union Street Florence, Co. 81226 (719) 784-3878 Office (719) 784-1158 Fax <br />
