Engineers' Comment~ikeview Quarry • <br />- Per-Letter of April 12, 1979 <br />Page 5. <br />Question 114--Comment Continued <br />{a) Continued. <br />fertilizing, and pruning. This would create an asthetic barrier <br />from the industrial site and a physical barrier from the wildlife <br />area. Little wildlife will intrude into an area heavily occupied <br />by man. <br />(b) As was previously suggested, the site will initially be relatively <br />smooth at a constant grade. Some natural revegetation may occur <br />from the time mining has terminated until the time industrial site <br />development takes place. Should the development not occur, the <br />area could receive limestone fines as a topsoil substitute, required <br />fertilizer, and seeding. This would follow the same recommendations <br />used in the wildlife area. <br />Question 115: A reclamation timetable that clearly indicates the phases <br />of reclamation in each area and the anticipated dates when reclamation <br />in each phase will be initiated and completed. <br />Comment: Reference is made to the Reclamation Plan Map forwarded to your <br />office (Exhibit F) for location of tracts. See Attachment No. 4 for <br />Reclamation Timetable. <br />Reclamation Experiment Area (2 Acres): <br />Transplant shrubs, grasses and small trees from undisturbed areas <br />within the mining perimeter. Project to begin in the Winter of 1980. <br />(See Attachment No. 2 for location.) <br />Tract "A" (81 Acres): <br />As the mining is completed in each 10 to 12 acres the three year <br />reclamation program will begin and continue for the entire life of <br />the mine. A one-year break period between each 10 acres will allow <br />for the mining operations to advance. <br />Tract "A-1" (3 Acres): <br />Reclamation to begin in 1982 and continue for a three year reclamation <br />period. <br />Tract "A-1" (11 Acres): <br />Reclamation to begin after the mining operation of the entire mine is <br />near completion. This is the future headquarters for the mining <br />operation. ~, <br />
