STOVER 8 R650CIRTE9 TO ~ 1089919702475104 P.07 <br />• Seeding will occur doling late fall or eazly spring (from about October 31 to April I) in <br />order to take advantage of available soil moisture conditions during the spring. The <br />applicant holds sufficient water rights within the Gurley Ditch to provide irrigation to all <br />areas and phases of the gravel operation to enhance the revegetation effort if necessary.' <br />80/20 Nitrogen/Phosphate fertilizer will be applied at the time of seeding at the raft of 200 <br />ponds per acre and worked into the soil during the seed bed preparation. <br />The pit excavation will leave neazly vertical faces of approximately 32' in height, if the pit is <br />mined to planned depth, during advance. These slopes will be reduced to 4h:ly before the <br />application of topsoil or cover material. This slope reduction will be accomplished by placing <br />refuse material along the nearly vertical face of the side walls of the pit, providing acceptable <br />slopes that will follow the advancing face at not more than 300 feet. ]f insufficient refuse material <br />is available, the operator will also excavate the side slopes to a 4h:1 v slope on advance. The <br />advancing face will be excavated to a 4h:ly slope as it nears the disturbance line. The operator <br />will take cazc not to encroach on the disturbance line during slope reduction. In Phase 1, a berm <br />will be developed along the southern and western exposure of the pit during mining, this berm <br />will remain in place and will be covered with topsoil or cover material at Seal reclamation. <br />Phase I will expose a maximum advancing face of 1200 feet, Phase II will expose a maximum <br />advancing face of 1495 feet and Phase III will expose a maximum advancing face of 595 feet, <br />Phase II will a expose a pit floor area oC25.3 saes, Phase II will expose a pit floor area of 32.0 <br />acres and Phase >n will expose a pit floor area of 2.0 acres. <br />Phase III will expose an azea for facilities and processing of 3.2 acres, Phase II will expose an azea <br />for facilities and processing of 3.8 acres and Phase III will expose an area for facilities and <br />processing of 3.8 saes. <br />Any compacted side slopes and floor of the pits will be ripped before final reclamation. If the <br />underlying sandstone floor is exposed, a minimum of 2 feet of cover material will be applied <br />before final reclamation, if the sandstone floor is not exposed, due to the presence of ground <br />water, the 2 feet of gravel material ]eft in place above the ground water will remain in place as <br />cover material. The final slope of each pit will be loosened by the front~nd loader and then <br />reshaped before final reclamation. <br />The access road and ditch crossings to Phase I and Phase III serve as entry onto the private land of <br />the gravel pit Owner/Operator and will remain upon completion of the operation. <br />Other mclamation tasks will include the removal of the semi portable truck scales and the removal <br />of the portabto saeening/crnslling plant, the portable storage shed, the portable dieseUelectric <br />generator set, the portable fuel tank and the portable sanitation facility, <br />The operalor is awaze that grazing may not occur on the acreage in reclamation without prior <br />authorization fi:om the Division, in consultation with the local Soil Conservation District. <br />'These recorded rights can be found in Exhibit N -Legal Right to Enter and they aze <br />restated in Exhibit G - Water Information. <br />E-2 <br />TOTRL P.07 <br />
