~ BERTHOUD PINR STONE QUARRIES • III IIIIII'lllllllll <br />sss <br />1. The operator commits to salvaging all available top soil d fines for <br />use in later reclaimation. Aowever, because the depth of top s it and fines <br />is minimal, 2 - 4 inches, not much is available. Some top soi and fines <br />have been previously salvaged and were shown on one of the maps Any add- <br />itional disturbance of the surface in this quarry would have th top soil and <br />fines stored in the same area. Because the tdp soil in this a a is very <br />heavy and contains many small stones from from surface outcropp ngs, erosion <br />is minimal. This pile has been there for over fifteen years an no erosion <br />has occurred in fact it has reseeded itself with some brush, gr ss and some <br />small trees. We really do not expect to enlarge this area much because of <br />the very small amount that we take from these quarries each yea , onlq <br />100 - 200 tons per year. <br />2. Adjacent land owners were identified: Ann Mc Color and Vir it Aber. <br />3. Lengths and xidths were shown on the new maps. <br />4. The access roads from the north to the south quarries are d rote per- <br />manent, pre-existing roads of 20 or more years and so should no be included <br />in the permit boundry. <br />$. When recalculated on the nex maps the acerage xas under th 10 acres. <br />6. Quarries are not normally quarried more than 12 feet in de th. <br />7. Normally no high vertical walls are left on completion of he mining or <br />during the mining because most mining is done with the aid of a fork lift <br />type loader. In order to do this the mining must be done in to benches to <br />facilitate the moving the stone from the quarry to the stone cu ter or to be <br />loaded on pallets and to then be loaded onto the truck. <br />8. The general slope of the reclaimed areas will be similar to the slope of <br />the surrounding mountain because the slope of the quarry stone ase determined <br />the slope of the mountain. Where it it differs the slope will a lodged every <br />few feet to keep the slope at a reasonable grade. <br />
