All aabulations for backfilling, grading, and repladng <br />topsoil will be based on the maximum of 33 acres. This estimate is father modified <br />by the fad that Sandy Creek runs through each of the 3 areas. In Area 1, Sandy <br />Creek oocuplies at least 12.7 aces. Those 12.7 acres will not be reseeded and they <br />will only be graded abng the creek edge. In the remaining 20.3 sags Ure area of <br />exa3vation will be graded and sbped as it is mined. Topsoil will be reapplied <br />to the exatvatbn. This area will be fertilized with fertilizer or barnyard manure <br />as indicated by soils tests and then seeded with a cover crop. Once the cover <br />aop is established, the grass will be planted as recommended by the heal <br />Natural Resource Conservation Service. The assts units bebw already inGude <br />labor arxi fuel.
