B. We will do a 3 to 1 slope during reclamation which has been covered in <br /> several places in this application. <br /> C. We will revegetate the site using the seed mixture, approved by <br /> B.L.M., dry land grass and return it to pasture land. See Formula <br /> included. <br /> 1. The topsoil used to resurface and cover the gravel pit is the <br /> same material on our farm meaning with water just about <br /> anything will grow and without water dry land grass will grow <br /> with natural moisture fall. <br /> 2. We will disc the land to be revegetated, add fertilizer, seed, and <br /> use a trackdozer to do two things, push down seed into ground <br /> and crimp straw from mulching. We will use a broadcast <br /> spreader for seeding and fertilizing. <br /> 3. We will plant Dryland grass mix using formula from B.L.M. <br /> 4. Broadcast seeding will be done at a rate twice that required for <br /> seed drilling . The area would then be tracked down with a <br /> dozer. <br /> 5. Straw will be spread over area and crimped by going over it <br /> with dozer track. <br /> 6. This is open country and no trees are present so we would not <br /> plan to plant any. <br /> D. The only water source would still be the canal. Our work will not <br /> make any changes to the Rio Grand Canal except for the road and <br /> bridge we plan to build and it will be perminant and maintained by <br /> us to connect both sides of our farm property. The recharge pit will <br /> also become a perminant fixture to be used for our farm purposes. <br /> We do not have any plans to build ponds. <br /> E. We will not have any waste rock as we will be mining the rock. The <br /> rock will be 99% smaller than 6" so we will be using it all. We will <br /> slope the land again after finishing and replace top soil and reseed. <br /> We will do no underground mining and we will have no chemical <br /> facilities. The only building will be the office which will remain for <br /> continued farm use during the hay season as described above. We <br /> will reclaim land as we finish each phase of mining. <br /> F. When finished only 2 acres would remain to be reclaimed because we <br /> plan to reclaim the land as we go. This 2 acre area will be reclaimed <br /> when mining has finished. The maximum push distance would be 50'. <br /> 1. Backfilling - N/A <br /> Grading - $800.00 per acre for dozer work to reclaim <br /> Topsoil application- 6" to 8" deep over entire sight. Maximum <br /> hauled distance would be 200'. 1064 CU <br /> YDS top soil $1.00 per cu yd, <br /> Seed/fertilizer - $100.00 for 40lbs seed to cover 2 acres. <br /> $50,00 for fertilizer. $200.00 per acre to <br />
