3B - Continued These buildings no longer serve a critical purpose for the sand-gravel operations . The scale house/ office and an equipment storage shed are located approximately 500 feet south of the crusher . A hot mix asphalt plant is not on site at this time , however , such a plant is planned for the future to be included in the overall operations at the sand and gravel pit . 4 . Sand and gravel stockpiles will be maintained on the site in the Phase III areas as shown on Exhibit C . The stockpiles are indicated by "Material Stockpiles- ' (Typ . ) " on Exhibit C and may be identified by contour lines showing material piles , both north and south of the crusher site . These locations will be continued until removal of the sand and gravel in the area occurs , at which time the crusher and stockpiles will be moved north to areas outside the excavation. S . Topsoil stockpiles will be planted with a perennial grass such as western wheatgrass at a rate of about 6# PLS/Acre , if left undisturbed for more than one growing season. C. Exhibit E Carrol E . Hamon , District Conservationist for the United States Department of Agriculture in Longmont was consulted for his advice on the type of native grass seed mixture and plantings that would do best on the property in question. The seed mixture suggested is Smooth Brome , 6 . 5 lbs . /acre , Orchard , 2 lbs . /acre , and Alfalfa , 2 lbs . /acre . The germination and purity of the above seed would be determined at the time of purchase and quantity would be determined then. The dikes and other open areas will be smoothed by dragging in preparation for drilling and/or broad- casting the seed , and then covered with 1/2" of soil . The timeline for planting the seed would be ideally during the Fall season or springtime prior to May 1 , before the weather becomes too hot. The applicant intends to comply with Mr . Hamon ' s recommendations . 2 I
