<br />TECHNICAL REVISION <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />MARTIN MARIETTA CEMENT <br />LYONS, COLORADO <br />Pit E. Pit E is approximately 70 acres in size and is a dryland pasture <br />area. The land slopes from west to east. This area is used extensively <br />for grazing. <br />Mining will progress from south to north. Top soil will be <br />temporarily stockpiled on the south s-ice of hi: a pit. Waste shale will <br />initially be taken to the mined out regions of Pits A and B. When mining <br />has progressed far enough, the waste shale and overburden will be placed <br />into the mined out area. When mining is complete in this pit, waste <br />shale from Pits A, C, and D will be deposited into the final mined out <br />area. The lake previously planned will be eliminated, putting the entire <br />region back to pasture. <br />Pit F. Pit F, which lies directly east of Pit E, is approximately 70 <br />acres in size. This is a continuation of the dryland pasture of Pit E. <br />This area also slopes from west to east and is used for grazing. <br />Mining will progress from south to north as in Pit E. The <br />topsoil will first be stripped off a~tockpiled. When mining has pro- <br />gressed substantially, the mined out area will be filled with waste shale <br />taken out in front of the mining operation. Eighteen inches of clay <br />overburden and six inches of topsoil will Cover the shale. This will be <br />seeded with dryland pasture mix. The topography will tie in with Pit E <br />and will be the same as the original topography. The lake planned in the <br />original reclamation plan will be eliminated by filling in the final <br />mined out area with excess material from Pits A, C and D. <br />
