• Exibits Page 2 It is the intention of Midway.$and & Gravel, Inc. to hide the quarry as much as possible from traffic visi ity along I-25. The mining equipment to be use 11 portable, and will not require any public servi~:es such as water, electrici r gas. We will from time to time use the south mining area, depending on type of material needed. There is approximately 25 acres iy,,ts~~re~~l~~.c s been previously mined. ~ ~ ~r ~ ~i~. EXHIB7-T E - RECLAMATION PLAN "~" J U~J 7 ~J$g As indicated in the Mining Plan (Exhibit D), the areak}gpy~ptlehd~aliied from the northwest to :t he southeast. Approximately thregzztpp~~~f~QiJpp,FiC91+87fkIA5~~~`en removed and stockpiled for future reclamation use. We wi~Y remove topsoil as we proceE~d on a southeast direction to use for reclamation. The proposed area consists of high flat top bluffs, which after mining will be similar in appearance, but will be lowered by twenty to forty feet. During reclamation, all efforts will be made to keep the contour of the area looking as natural as possible. It is estimated that the operation will take approximately twenty years to complete. After the area is mined, it will be reclaimed to grassland, following those guidelines established by the Soil Conservation Service (letter attached). It ha:: been agreed that the seed mixture suggested ty the Soil Conservation Service be alternated as recommended by the Mined Land Reclamation staff to include Western Wheatgrass and Russian Wildrye. We anticipate reclaiming part of the north mining section as soon as we remove the sand and gravel from the northwest section. As we proceed our mining operation to the southeast, we intend to reclaim the area to the northwest, and the northeast, and work to the southeast. This will enable us to have all reclamation complete soon after mining is complete. We will reclaim the south mining area as soon as we finish mining the 5 acres that are left in this area. We anticipate this section to be completed within 2 years. EXHIBIT F - RECLAMATION MAP The affected area after reclamation will be plateaus, and a minimum of 4:1 sideslopes which will be daylighted to existing ground. All reclaimed areas will meet the unaffected land. EXHIBIT G - WATER INFORMATION The mining operation will consist of dry screening and crushing, no water resources will be used. There is no surface water, streams or ponds on the property. The surrounding land is relatively flat and bluffs, and there is no major drainage through the mining area. There has been erosion control dams constructed ty others to prevent sediment from entering Fountain Creek, as per recomm~=ndation by Soil Conversation Service.
