Channeling means a gentle Swale to facilitate drainage to the west as shown on <br />reclaimed contour drawing. <br />2. The community pit lies westerly of the area noted on drawings as "permit area". <br />Rio Blanco County Road and Bridge will be responsible only for the area designated <br />as permit area. <br />Prather Pit (77-136) <br />1. Reference mining plan which states depth of gravel as approximately 100 feet <br />and that due to safety reasons, 30 foot benches are being excavated in order to <br />obviate any unstable high faces. The material will be mined from the top down <br />and out toward the crusher in 30 foot increments until the floor of the pit reaches <br />a point where a uniform 2:1 slope from the property line intersects. The result- <br />ing slope wlll be uniform and no "benches" will remain. <br />2. Since the optioned area is 6.0 acres, and the pit has been operated for many <br />years, the area disturbed at this time is approximately 45 acres. The remaining <br />area will not be disturbed. <br />3. There is approximately 200 cubic yards of topsoil stockpiled and it will be <br />placed uniformly over the floor of the pit which would cover 1/8 acre 6" deep. <br />Layton Pit (77-137) <br />1. Average depth of topsoil was approximately 6 inches. <br />2. Approximately 3.5 acres have not been disturbed. <br />3. Topsoil is stockpiled along the northern part of the permit area. <br />T <br />4. The average depth of the face is approximately 10 feet and the depth after <br />reclamation will be approximately the same. ' <br />
