<br />Page 2 <br />Mined Land Reclamation <br />A mininum of 3-1 slopes will be used. <br /> <br />b.) How many acres will be reclaimed per year? <br />This will vary because of the nature of our mining operation. <br />Once we get ahead it should proceed at the rate of 2-3 acres <br />per year. <br />c.) How do you plan to reconstruct the drainage areas for the <br />affected land? <br />"^aterial will be left at the proper elevation so that water <br />will flow in accordance with the grades shoi,~n on the <br />reclamation maps. (See Exhibit F) <br />d.) Do you plan to follow the Soil Conservatiop Service <br />recommendations for reclamation? <br />Yes, depending on the availability of seed at the time of <br />reclamation. Substitutions may have to he made if materials <br />are unavailable or economically unfeasible. <br />e.) Where will the source of the material for backfilling and <br />sloping the north and east high banks come from? <br />8°l-10% of our sand deposit is waste fines (-200 mesh). Y7e <br />plan to build a dike along the north and east high banks <br />and pump this fill in a number of lifts until most of the slope <br />has been built. Then a dozer will be utilized to push the <br />excess material left along the top of the banks downhill to <br />provide a 3~1 slope from the top of the banks to the floor of <br />the pit. <br />3. For The Affected Acreage <br />a.) Outline the distant future mining area (59.4 acres) within <br />the 214.67 acres. <br />See Exhibit D (Mining and Affected Land Map). <br />4. Water Resources <br />a.) Will you affect the Fountain f'utual Canal Easement and the <br />canal itself? <br />The canal will follow its present course. We will provide a <br />pipe to bridge over our future excavation as shown on Exhibit <br />F, Reclamation #2. <br />5. Reclamtion Costs <br />a. Justify that it will cost only $183.95 to reclaim this area. <br />Exhibit L shows a cost of $29,321.84 of which $16,942.00 would <br />
