Parkdale Project, Permit M-1997-054
The Fremont Conservation District has received notice of the amendment being requested for the
Parkdale permit.
The Fremont Conservation District is acquainted with this gravel operation and has worked with the
aggregate operators in the past, particularly with noxious weed infestation control on the site.
We have reviewed the application information, Mining Plan and Reclamation Plan, and offer the
following rommentc_
• Increase in size and depth of the pits will change the reclamation plans.
• Use of the mined out empty pits as water storage sites is a possible potential use of the mined
out areas.
• We foresee no conservation problems in the high walls, clay blanket and final slopes if
constructed as described in the write up and that they meet State Engineers Office
pertormance standards.
• It may be that only scant revegetation growth can be expected on the steeper reclaimed slopes
of the granite quarry.
• Continued future control of noxious leafy spurge weeds will be needed though out the site.
If further comments or information is needed, please contact this office.
Sincerely
