EXHIBIT D 110 <br />The soil is in a lazge thick alluvial and is consistent from the top to maximum depth to be <br />removed. See soil type information enclosed. <br />The depth of this soil is unknown but continues below the level of Hwy 149 as <br />demonstrated on the opposite side of the highway therefore the medium left is suitable for <br />establishing vegetation. <br />This same soil on the south of HWY 149 was used to cap another VCUP containment <br />pile with excellent results. <br />The property and Hwy 149 slope slightly from west to east toward Willow Creek the flat <br />azeas adjoining Hwy 149 will be sloped to utilize the two culverts adjoining the azea. <br />Maximum gradient for the slopes will be 2:1 except as noted at Airport Corner as shown <br />on the After Reclamation map. 2/1 slopes aze requested because the slope of the <br />remaining hill side is almost this steep, see contours. This slope allows the availability of <br />the necessary amount of top soil. This slope has been vegetated across the road and is <br />adequate for wildlife. <br />Airport Corner would be left with a steep slope as shown in photo of east end of property <br />although only about I S' high in order to increase the sight line azound Airport Corner as <br />traffic is making a left hand turn onto Airport Road. This is necessary because of the <br />increase in traffic to the RV pazk and additional houses off Airport Road and the increase <br />of traffic on Hwy 149 in general. This request is supported by CDOT and Mineral County <br />Road Department. <br />The seed bed on the flat portion will be prepazed by harrowing with the teeth forwazd. If <br />necessary the drive roads would be chiseled. <br />Fertilizer and seed would be broad cast and harrowed in with the teeth pointed backwazd <br />except on the slopes where it would be raked in by hand. <br />The azea east of the culvert at the center of the project under Hwy 149 would be worked <br />and planted after completion of work in 2007. After completion of work in 2007 the <br />slopes of excavated areas west of the culvert would be contoured to a minimum of 2/1 for <br />the winter. As the remaining top soil is sold the excavation will progress from east to <br />west. Each fall for the remainder of the project, areas where excavation is completed will <br />be reclaimed. <br />See enclosed bid for seed mixture and application rates for broadcasting. <br />Tractor rent from Monte Vista COOP is $80/day and trailer is $20/day. <br />
