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