As this was not a part of the <br /> reclamation plan its presence needs to be addressed with regard to why it is there and what its final <br /> disposition will be. This pit has a long history that, since about 10 years ago or thereabouts the land <br /> ownership here has been a bit chaotic. But now the current landowner intends to put a housing <br /> development mainly on adjacent land immediately east of the area being reclaimed. The disposition of the <br /> floor of the pit will not be all that different from what it has been reclaimed for as it will mostly be Green <br /> Space and a Community Amenity with trails, picnic areas, playground, and maybe a clubhouse and pool. <br /> No houses will be built in the reclamation area as it is all well within the 100 year flood plain. In fact, <br /> there are no definite plans for the pit floor; there are just the concepts shown in the PUD submitted to <br /> Elbert County. <br /> I signed the technical revision form because I was the only one that can confirm what I found. But that is <br /> no secret as anybody who has examined the pile will agree that there is no evidence that there are any <br /> foreign materials within the pile. I did do soil collections for chemical tests on the soil to see if there are <br /> any chemical aspects of the soil that would limit its use as fill anywhere in the development. Those tests <br /> are not yet back from the CSU Soil Testing Lab,but should be coming fairly soon. This is a very busy <br /> time of the year for the Lab. I seriously doubt there is anything limiting, but it is good to be sure. I also <br /> signed it because I am Schmidt's representative and have been for about the last 40 years. <br /> If you have any questions please contact me. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Mark A.
