Construction Material Regular 112 Operation Reclamation Exhibits <br /> Raindance Reservoir#2 — VIMA Partners, LLC <br /> the existing soil isn't suitable for native plant growth. <br /> Reclamation Plan — <br /> The reclamation plan is to turn the site into a reservoir to support the non-potable <br /> water system of the Raindance Subdivision to the north. The reservoir will fill around 44 <br /> acres of surface area at its highest point, roughly 1500 acre-ft of water, and 12 additional <br /> acres will be vegetated in the surrounding areas of the reservoir. Most of the surrounding <br /> area is farmland that will remain undeveloped for the time being. Southwest of the site is <br /> an existing reservoir called Oklahoma Reservoir. <br /> The stated reclamation plan will follow each applicable requirement of 3.1. A post <br /> mining use of a reservoir has been established and no land will be substituted in the <br /> reclamation process. The reclamation process will be completed within five (5) years and <br /> the owner recognizes that the land can be designated for public use. Additionally, there <br /> will be no backfill required for this operation. All Colorado and federal water laws will be <br /> followed and the necessary permits for the reservoir have been received. All necessary <br /> protections for groundwater have been implemented, including those pertaining to the <br /> WQCC. Groundwater levels are monitored in nearby monitoring wells. Any topsoil that was <br /> not stripped prior to the notification from the state or the current 111 operation will be <br /> stockpiled to the west of the reservoir. The approximate location of this stockpile is shown <br /> in Exhibit F. Once the operation is complete,topsoil will be placed to cover the site outside <br /> of the reservoir water level if needed. The revegetation process will include diverse <br /> seeding as stated in Exhibit J. There are no buildings or structures on the property and a <br /> sign has been posted at the entrance of the site with the correct requirements. Finally, the <br /> operator acknowledges all requirements if a spill occurs on the site. <br /> Approximately 4" of plant growth medium will be replaced, and or soils will be <br /> amended as needed to establish proper plant growth. The reclamation schedule is as <br /> follows, <br /> 1. Completion of excavating operation. <br /> 2. Fine grading of outer edge of reservoir. <br /> 3. Reservoir filled with raw water with a high-water elevation of 4913'. <br /> 4. Topsoil placed and graded around outer edge of reservoir. <br /> 5. Revegetation of disturbed areas through planting and seeding around outer <br /> edge. <br /> The maximum slopes that will be outside of the reservoir coverage are planned to <br /> be 3:1 or flatter for the banks of the proposed reservoir. The excavation process will <br /> happen in 5' to 6' lifts but once completed the banks will be graded and maintained at a <br /> TST. INC.CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br />
