J I <br />• <br />revegotation plan. <br />K. Roads and Transportation <br />Access to the site will be by way of State Highway 82 and the recently <br />improved River Road. It is anticipated that the traffic resulting from <br />this action will not increase and, in fact, the peak traffic loading will <br />probably decrease due to diversification over the construction season. <br />Should a contractor other than Elam Construction be awarded the 1982 project <br />contract, then the resultant peak loading will be spread over the six month <br />construction season, and the high peak period volume that was experienced <br />last season will be avoided. Assuming a 40,000 ton contract spread over <br />a four month construction period, the truck traffic should amount to a <br />maximum of six round trips per hour. <br />L. Operation and Revegetation Plan <br />The first step of this operation will be to strip all available top soil <br />from the excavation site (approximately one acre). This top soil will be <br />stockpiled and replaced following operation. Following completion of <br />the project, all slopes will be flattened to a minimum of 4:11 (4 horizontal <br />to 1 vertical), and the top soil will be respread to a depth of 4 to 6 inches. <br />Native grass seed will be broadcast over all disturbed areas, fertilized and <br />raked. The seed mix and fertilizer type will be determined by the Pitkin <br />County Environmental Coordinator. A performance bond and revegetation <br />guarantee will be posted with Elam Construction in the amount of $2,000.00 <br />per acre, and all work will be completed within thirty (30) working days <br />following the removal of the plant. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
