f J, • • <br />-~- <br />The excavation, handling and removal of material will be done with <br />a combination of dozers, scrapers, front-end loaders, conveyors, <br />and trucks using haul roads developed as needed throughout the <br />affected area. <br />A series of three or four settling ponds, totaling approximately <br />two acres, will be used for the gravel washing operation. These <br />ponds will be located near the south boundary of the affected <br />area and drain into the existing pond shown on the map. This <br />existing pond was created by previous mining and is the only <br />settling pond that will contain water year around. <br />At this time there is no definite time set for ending <br />operations, but it would seem that this site can provide material <br />at the present demand for thirty years. <br /> <br />RECLAr4ATION PLAN <br />Reclamation of this site will include grading around the <br />existing pond as that pond is entirely within the permit boundary. <br />This grading will include sloping the banks to a 3:1 or flatter <br />slope and leaving a rough shore line. Large rocks and stumps <br />from the affected area will be placed in the pond bottom to help <br />prevent erosion and provide better possible fish habitat. Nielson s, <br />Inc. does not plan on stocking this pond, but it may be desireable <br />for .t he land owner or Division of ~Yildlife to do so. <br />
