• CASTLE CONCRETE COMPANY <br />SNYDER QUARRY 77-210 <br />EXHIBIT E <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />The long future of the Snyder Quarry and its neeirly continuous <br />mining over most of its area makes the reclamation plan relatively simple. <br />The mining will proceed relatively slowly and only a little reclamation <br />can be done at any one time. Most of the reclamation work: will not <br />and cannot be done until the end of the operation. <br />The final land use selected for the quarry has several <br />possibilities. Two alternatives are presented here. One is to use the <br />area for underground storage as is done in some salt and limestone <br />mines elsewhere in the United States. The nearly constant, naturally <br />• controlled moisture and temperature conditions in the underground areas <br />is ideal for storage of documents. The outside of the quarry could <br />be carefully landscaped or returned to mostly a natural site. <br />The second alternative would be as a park area. This could <br />be an interesting option that could provide an interesting diversity of <br />recreational possibilities. <br />The final choice need not be made until late in the mine <br />life. Several other options could become feasible later depending on <br />community needs and developers' interests. At this time, the first <br />alternative is most feasible. <br />Adjacent land uses are rapidly changing. Residential uses <br />of nearby lands is certainly a possibility in the future and a few plans <br />are currently in progress on adjacent tracts. Some of the land is also <br />_~ <br />5-E-1 <br />
