• The old home site foundation, orchard remnants and the dense stand of <br />20-30 foot high cottonwood trees adjacent to the old home site will not be <br />disturbed during the grading process. <br />During the process of grading this area, Light Use Roads 3, 4 and 5, and <br />the portions of Haul Road 3 inside the rail loop will be eliminated. <br />Culverts and ditches associated with these roads will be removed. The <br />portion of Haul Road 3 between the County road and the rail loop will be <br />reduced to a i 6-foot travel width and remain in place as long term access <br />to the property. The first step in width reduction will be the salvage of <br />gravel surfacing. The gravel surfacing will be moved to the section of the <br />road to be left in place. The second step in width reduction will be to <br />slope the southeastern section of the road towards the conveyor corridor <br />so it tapers into the adjacent ground surface. The southeastern section of <br />the road in most cases will be approximately one-half of the road width. <br />The embankment for the unit train loadout forms a portion of the <br />embankment for the two sedimentation ponds at the loadout. In order to <br />• reclaim the unit train loadout and restore the essential hydorlogic function <br />of flood irrigation, the loadout embankment and the sediment ponds must <br />be leveled. Therefore, sedimentation control for the reclaimed loadout will <br />be achieved with the use of alternative sediment control structures which <br />may include ditches, berms, silt fences, sediment traps or other approved <br />devices. <br />Sedimentation control east of the irrigation ditch wi11 be provided in the <br />area shown on Exhibit 11 C. This alternative sediment control will consist <br />of a combination of berms and silt fences or straw bales. Generally, a <br />berm will be utilized to direct run-off to the low lying areas where straw <br />bales or silt fences will filter run-off before it leaves the reclaimed area. <br />Run-off from the area west of the irrigation ditch will flow into the irrigation <br />ditch where run-off will be treated with the use of sediment traps as shown <br />on Exhibit 11 C. The operator does not plan to utilize the irrigation ditch so <br />it is available for use in the sedimentation control plan. <br /> <br />14-9i (Rev. 2/01) <br />
