.> ~ • • Eureka Gravel Pit Reclamation Plan San Juan County road department will be conducting reclamation efforts during material excavation. during the excavation of gravel material the county will be pushing material down from the bench road to the crushing site while cutting the slope the county will maintain an adaqute slope angle of 3 to 1 which is slightly less than the natural slope angle and avoiding any vertical slopes the county will correct and eliminate any vertical slope angles left over from past material excavation. The final grading of the affected slope will be at a 3 to 1 angle and 4 to 1 in place as the county works along the bench road for 350 feet. After all operations have ceased the county will regrade the slope at a a slight angle leaving small berms to control runoff and minimize erosion. The county will seed the effected site will native grasses and a dryland pasture `~u~ ~ grass mixture due to the absence of any topsoil on the slope the growth of vegatation 56' will be minimal so the county wiil not fertilize the effected area. The county will replant any tree or shrub that was destroyed the gravel operations with seedlings of the same type. The county will also clean up any trash or old junk in and around the affected site and also remove and soil that is contaminated with oil of diesel fuel from the area and replace with an adequete type soil and dispose of the contaminated soils properly. The county will be eliminating the old bench road from the affected slope after the county finishes reclamation efforts the site should looka alot cleaner and more pleasing site to the owners and the general public. The estimated cost of reclamation efforts should be $2,5000.00 this will include equiptmen~ grass seed and any seedling the county has to purchase. San Juan county will conduct any type of reclamation ~oqR the the MLRD recommends that the county do at the Eureka site. Louis K. Girodo San Juan County Road Supervisor
