Gravel Pit No. 2 <br />Dear Mr. Green: <br />The Division is approving your permit with the following <br />stipulations: <br />(i) Ground water cannot be exposed until either a well permit <br />is obtained from the State Engineer's Office and proof of <br />such permit is provided to the Division or bond for <br />backfilling portions of the pit that have exposed ground <br />water is posted and approved by the Division. <br />(2) There will be no more than 3.5 acres of disturbance at <br />any one time, of which 2.5 acres is mining and 1 acre is <br />stockpiles and haul road. Alternatively, the operator <br />can clearly state in writing (by way of a revision to the <br />permit) the maximum acreage that will be disturbed at any <br />one time, and the reclamation bond will be adjusted <br />accordingly. <br />(3) Grading of the pit to the finished slopes will be <br />accomplished as mining progresses. This includes both <br />wet and dry portions of the pit. <br />The Division has calculated the bond for this operation to be <br />$4,800. This amount is based upon a scenario where 2.5 acres of <br />topsoil and overburden have been removed from the east end of the <br />permitted area and stockpiled on the western end, but no ground <br />water has yet been exposed. <br />Reclamation tasks include the following: Mobilization/demobili- <br />zation of reclamation equipment; grading of overburden stockpile <br />from angle of repose to 3:1; replacement of topsoil on 2.5 acres; <br />ripping of compacted area (about one acre); and revegetation of 3.5 <br />acres (including fertilizing of overburden area (about one acre)). <br />
