<br />GLEN JOHNSTON <br />PIT #1 <br />MINING FLAN <br />This pit has been in existence over twenty years. It was previously used to <br />construct Highway 24. It is approximately five acres in size. It is a bowl- <br />shaped area with access to Highway 24 on the south aide. All runoff will discharge <br />out this existing ingress and outgress route. <br />Equipment to be used includes a bulldozer to rip and loosen the rock and e <br />front end loader to load into the trucks. The gravel will be removed from the <br />northwest corner of this pit. <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />The reclamation goal at this site will be to contain sediments at this site. <br />To prevent flooding, erosion, and sedimentation deposits from occurring, a dike <br />needs to be constructed across the entrance way to the pit. Seeding, fertilizing, <br />and mulching recommendations are contained in C0.CON5-6; however, without large <br />amounts of topsoil being hauled into this site vegetation establishment will be <br />extremely difficult. <br />
