There is a <br />layer of unprocessed gravel. It will cover an area of approximately 250' by 250'. <br />Reclamation Plan <br />We have ample overburden on the gravel strata on the west side of the pit. We plan to <br />excavate and shape the 250' by 250' area to a wildlife pond. We will put a layer of clay <br />(which is available on site) on the bottom of the pond to retain water. We estimate this <br />will take about 60 hours of dozer work. We currently charge $150.00 per hour for our <br />D9L Caterpillar dozer with operator. Therefore, the additional cost would be $9000.00 <br />Corrective action on Item #2, Page 3 of the above mentioned report is as follows: <br />We will have Customized Weed Spraying visit on a semi annual basis in the spring and <br />fall. We will have them spray as needed for any new crop of noxious weeds. We have <br />consulted with Rod Cook of the La Plata County Extension office regarding this weed <br />control program and he agrees with this plan. <br />• • <br />
