production in the area.The completion of the bridge and 35th Avenue will connect this area to the <br /> existing industrial area that is north of the river. <br /> a) The reclamation uses for the Stiles Mining Resource's include General Agriculture-dryland <br /> pasture and heavy industry. Reclamation to general agriculture and heavy industry is a positive <br /> and useful post-closure land use that is compatible with surrounding uses. <br /> b) The mining area will be reclaimed as either heavy industrial or general agriculture which will be <br /> reseeded with native grass and forb vegetation. <br /> c) Initially ASCI is planning to reclaim a twenty-three (23)acres of the of the permit area as heavy <br /> industrial within the first two years of operation.ASCI plan to reclaim one hundred and two <br /> (102)acres of the remaining mineable area as general agriculture—dryland pasture.The balance <br /> of the properties reclamation will consist of heavy industry, unimproved access roads or <br /> otherwise undisturbed land. <br /> 6) The Evans City limit currently includes ASCI's Parcel III on the west side of 35th Avenue,which is an <br /> undeveloped City Avenue.The City of Evans is extending their city limit by annexation to include <br /> Parcel I and II east of 35th Avenue. <br /> a) The annexation of the land by the City of Evans includes zoning of the property as a Heavy <br /> Industrial District, 1-3, per the City of Evans—Municipal Code,Title 18—Land Development <br /> Code,Chapter 18, 18.04.080—C.Heavy Industrial District(1-3).The purpose of this zoning is to <br /> supply a district in which heavy industrial uses are found within the city limit. Heavy <br /> industry consists of uses such as quarry and gravel pits,asphalt plants, ready mix concrete <br /> plants, large-scale industry, used auto parts, incinerators,and other similar operations. <br /> b) Asphalt Specialties intention is to run our asphalt hot plant, recycle aggregate material <br /> operation, and aggregate wash plant as a permanent industrial businesses.This site is a <br /> permanent industrial location and shall be the final reclamation for this part of the industrial site <br /> as depicted on the mine plan map, Mine Phase 1,Mine Blocks 1A and 1B. <br /> i) A minimum of twenty-three (23)acres will be reclaimed to heavy industrial within the first <br /> two years of operation. <br /> c) Mine Phases 2 through 4 will be zoned as a Heavy Industry District but will initially be reclaimed <br /> as general agriculture—dryland pasture, until such time that a heavy industrial use is found. <br /> Materials <br /> 1) Existing site materials and imported inert materials will be used to backfill the mine site. <br /> 2) Topsoil—The topsoil will be stored as shown on Exhibit C Mine Plan Map.The volume of topsoil for <br /> all the mining phases is±188,000 tons or t1,500 tons per acre.The depth of the topsoil ranges from <br /> six(6)to twelve(12)inches over the mining area.The topsoil will be striped for phase 1,2, and 3 <br /> and stored in the mine buffer along the south boundary of phase 1,2 and 4 in the flood plain and <br /> outside of the excavation area.The topsoil will be stored in stockpiles about 15 ft high for future <br /> reclamation activities.Topsoil stockpiles will have vegetative stabilization applied to the surface. <br /> 3) Overburden-Overburden will be used as backfill of phase 1 excavation areas.Overburden material <br /> will be used on site for mine backfill and reclamation.Overburden stockpiles will be found within <br /> the various mining blocks.The volume of overburden for all the mining phases is t1,125,000 tons or <br /> t9,000 tons per acre.The depth of the overburden ranges from 2 to 4 feet over the mine area. <br /> a) Overburden stockpiles shall be seeded if it is predicted the material will be stored more than <br /> one year.This will minimize erosion prior to use in mine reclamation. <br /> H:\Pits HBP Plants\EVANS\Stiles Mining Resource\Exh E Reclamation\Exhibit E Reclamation Plan.docx <br />
