<br />i : ,, <br />provide any beneficial use as crazing land for either domestic <br />stock or wild animals. <br />~~ . <br />METHOD OF OPERATION <br />Operation of the permit site will be performed in the <br />following manner; <br />Since there is no over-burden over the sand and gravel <br />deposit, there is no need to remove or stock pile top soil for <br />future use. The benched gravel deposit will be removed from the <br />ground by traditional excavation methods such as the use of front <br />end loaders and trenching machines. The aggregate will then be <br />processed by the use of a portable rock crusher. The sand and <br />gravel will be stored on the permit site as stock piles for <br />present and future demands. <br />PROPOSED METHOD OF RECLAI•tATION ~=~( <br />At such time as mining operations cease on any portion of <br />the permit area, that specific area will have the slopes struck <br />off to a two to one or three to one slope in order to prevent <br />erosion, Much care will be exercised to assure the down stream <br />water users that no stage of the reclamation will interfere with <br />the water flow which historically occurs in 8 Mile Creek on a <br />periodic basis following cloud bursts in the foothills lying to <br />the north of the permit area. <br />Almost the entire tract of land located within the 9.93 <br />acre permit site could best be described as non-reclaimable <br />land. Each flood that occurG in R Mile Creek marries a s~ibstantial <br />amount of .sand and gravel down stream and the same would naturally <br />be deposited in the permit area filling in and leveling off any <br />excavated holes or pits, Since no over burden is present and <br />Training operations merely consist of a collection of the aggregate <br />by bulldozer and front end loader operations, any depressions made <br />in tFie stream B'ed by the Training operation will be naturally alluviated <br />by the. flood stages of 8 Mile Creek. Great care will be taken by ~ <br />the operator to guarantee that the historical bank or banks of <br />8 Mile Creek will be protected from erosion caused by flooding on <br />said creek, <br />-2- <br />
