Present <br />quarry operations are directed at processing this vertical height face <br />in a safe and practical manner. Physical appearance of the deposit <br />walls will not visually change dramatically. In as much as the final <br />result appearance is foremost in reclamation planning, we are proposing <br />that present operation continue rather than sloping the vertical walls. <br />To produce a flattening or sloping appearance would detract from the <br />beauty of the adjacent vertical faces. Removed deposit areas will be <br />• blended smoothly with a small terrace thence conforming to the approximate <br />creek level. <br />Overburden from past and future mining, that lies above the dep~.sit <br />is currently being segregated and stockpiled above the quarry site. It is <br />estimated that approximately 41,000 to 50,000 yards of this coluvial s9i1 <br />will be needed to plate the bottom area of the quarry, stockpile and <br />production areas. There will be mote than enough of this soil to complete <br />the re vegetation and restoration effort. <br />Other than the vertical walls left from the quarry operations the <br />entire affected area will be reclaimed as cattle range land. This will <br />be accomplished as follows: <br />1. After completing mining in phase 2 and 3, the production <br />• equipment will be dismantled. <br />2. Soil material containing oil from roads and work areas will be <br />
