a <br /> <br />WILDLIFE QUESTIONNAIRE <br />13 continued. <br />Page 2 <br />Mining will begin on the terrace face on the southwest part of the <br />plant area. It will then proceed to the west towards the west property <br />line along the 6460 contour elevation. <br />After stripping available soil, if any, front end loaders will remove <br />the sand and gravel and transport it to the processing crusher. Equipment <br />to be used for various operations may include, but is not limited to <br />bulldozers, dragline, scrapers, front end loaders, haul trucks and <br />water truck for dust suppression. <br />Excavation along the south, west and east lines will create 2 to 1 <br />slopes. Since the deposit is approximately 40 feet thick, the slope <br />will have a horizontal distance of approximately 80 feet. From the <br />base of the 2 to 1 slope a very gentle slope will be created toward the <br />undisturbed flood plain area to recreate the original natural drainage <br />pattern. Final grading will be such that the topography is appropriate <br />to the reclaimed use of the property, i.e, pasture. The area will then <br />be seeded according to the Soil Conservation Service recommendations. <br />
