i • <br />Ripping and Scarification: Map R-4 shows the areas where ripping or scarification are <br />needed in the Lower Zone. Most of the work is on two of the benches. These should be ripped <br />(~ as deeply as possible, although there is not much need to rip the bedrock which rests an <br />J unknown distance below the surface. The surface of these benches is fairly compacted and is <br />not supporting much growth because of it. Deeply loosening the surface would permit much <br />better growth. <br />Scarification can be done with a harrow or a heavy duty disk pulled by a tractor or <br />even afour-wheel drive pickup truck. All that needs to be done is to loosen the surface just <br />before planting. This will allow the seed to be buried and increase the growth success. The <br />existing surface probably could be seeded and might be successful, but a scarification would <br />considerably improve the chances for success. This scarification should be done at the same <br />time it is done in the Upper Zone. It might be necessary to open some of the roads to the <br />Upper Zone with a dozer. It would be best to try to avoid running the dozer into the Upper <br />Zone, unless it stayed exclusively on the roadways that require scarification and went no place <br />else. <br />Concrete Structures: The concrete structures previously mentioned are problematic. <br />Certainly the scale needs to be removed, but the question remains about what to do with the <br />concrete supporting the scale and other concrete structures including the fuel tank support and <br />"mafia" blocks. One difficulty is that the usual expectation is that concrete either be removed <br />.'' or buried. Removal of some of the concrete is possible, but the fuel tank support would be <br />difficult to remove. <br />The blocks probably could be left as they provide a barrier. The concrete supports for <br />the scale might be removed, but the fuel tank support is a large structure and would be <br />difficult to break into movable pieces. <br />It is recommended that when the plan is altered, hopefully through a technical revision, <br />it be proposed that as much of the concrete as possible be left. Rule 3.1. ] 1 Buildings and <br />Structures is somewhat confusing. On the one hand, it seems to say that if the structures do not <br />conflict with the post-mining land use then they can remain. But another interpretation is that <br />they must have "significant historical value" before they can be left. I think, if removal is not <br />feasible, then it should be proposed that the structures remain as they may have a future use if <br />the site is opened by another operator or is possibly developed. It should be understood that <br />proposing this may not work as the MLRB may require some kind of commitment to future <br />use that incorporates these structures. It is possible that the MLRB will require total removal <br />of all concrete structures. Burial is another option, but that might be as difficult as removal. <br />Deer Creek Quarry Rehabilitation June 1994 Page 11 <br />
