The existing abandoned quarn• located on both prit°.uc land and National Forcu System Land would remain in it. current condition and no action would he taken to reclaim the site. The need for : rrvcl in Tcllcr County would he met through the dcvclapmcnt of new yuarrics or the expansion of c~isting quartics nn state or private land: at other locations. Altet7tative B is the proposed action submitted by PK Enterprises. Under the proposed action, the applicant would develop and reclaim the site in three phases: I 1 pre-production site preparation: 2) production: and 3) reclamation. Part of the reclmnation phase would hl implemented concurrently with production. Pre-production site preparation activities arc designed primarily to secure the site boundaries, provide access for minin;, storage and rcmov;tl of eravcl, and to implement drainage improvemcn~s. The production phase of the proposed action consists of the activities neceswry to remove gravel, prepare and stockpile the mined material, and then remove the material from the site. The quarry would operate txtwecn the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.. Monday Ihrouph Friday. it is anticipated that an average of two full-time employees would he required to operate the site, with one or two additional employees occasionally required For peak production periods associated with special projects. The reclattration phase of the proposed :cation would follow the production phase a~ mining progresses from north to south. Fina] reclamation will be completed one year after mining has txen completed. The reclamation of the gravel pit will be done in accordance with applicable USDA- NRCS specifications. standards and guidelines. National Forest standards specific to [he use of seeded species from locally native plants. fertilizers and mulch will also apply to the reclamation activities. Detailed descriptions of the different phases of the proposed action ate included in the EA. Alternative C is the reduced mine size. This alternative would involve the same site preparation, gravel production and reclamation process as described above under Alternative B. Under Alternative C, the applicant would develop and reclaim the site in three phases: I) pre-production site preparation: 2) production; and 3) reclamation. Pan of the rectamation phase would be implemented concurrently with production. Hrdrmpllne Remuroe [opu4anLL 1002 Wdnvl Suite 200. E{ouldr. C•O 807(1?
