There is no topsoil in the creek bed itself. Areas lying outside the creek bed have topsoil ranging from 0-5" in depth. That topsoil will be stockpiled and returned during the reclamation process. b) Slopes no grater than 3:1 will be left in areas outside the creek. c) Sloping will occur as materials are mined. d) The access trail will be left in tact once the mining is complete. e) There are no other reclamation treatments to note for this site.

However, aside from rainfall runoff, the excavation should not encounter any water during mining. The only water that affects the site would be runoff from heavy rainfall. Rainfall in the area averages about 17.8 inches per year. The site will generally not be impacted by water. The water table in the area is substantially below the surface, in most cases at least 50 feet deep.
