<br />RECLAD9ATION REPORT <br />General <br />Our company's reclamation of mined lands will provide a basic <br />level of rehabilitation. This includes grading, drainage and <br />grass seeding. Any improvements beyond this basic level would <br />be made with due regard for the ultimate land use ownership <br />and economics. <br />Land Use <br />At this site the reclamation plan calls for backfilling, grading, <br />topsoiling and seeding the 96 acres of mined land in the I- <br />Industrial zoned parcel. The land may eventually be suitable <br />for development but reclamation calls for immediate return of the <br />land to pasture. About 48 acres of mined land zoned agriculture <br />will also be suitable for use as open space. The historic <br />Rigden house will be preserved. <br />Grading <br />Reclamation will proceed concurrently with mi:ing. The land :;ill <br />be backfilled and graded. The 2.5 acre lake in the northern part <br />of the site will have an irregular shoreline to entrance wi:diife <br />habitat and waterline slopes of less than 3:1 grades. All slopes <br />will conform to Mined Land Reclamation Act standards and Larimer <br />County Standards calling for 4:1 grades; gradients will be con- <br />ducive to vegetation, erosion prevention and safety. Overburden <br />will be used to return as much land south of the railroad as <br />possible to contours necessary to meet development standards. <br />E-1 <br />
