~1 <br />I g. Roadways - N/A <br /> h. Planting Not Required - Planting will not proceed until the screening <br />' d <br /> moun <br />s a re constructed to their ultimate size and shape. In addition, <br />i , planting will not be required in the areas of the permanent ponds. <br /> i. Adverse Characteristics - N/A <br />O. Relationship to•Environment <br />' The entire area along the St. Vrain Creek consists of a natural <br />wildlife habitat- river, ponds, ground cover, cottonwood trees. The re- <br />claimed area will consist of exactly the same. In fact, since the ponds <br />will increase the amount of water surface in the area, more waterfowl <br />will be attracted to the area. <br />The proposed ponds will not actually impound water but simply contain <br />~ groundwater. The ponds will not collect runoff from surrounding areas. <br />E. Topsoil tanagement Plan <br />The topsoil management plan will consist of the following: <br />1. Strip the topsoil and overburden from the area to be mined with <br />a scraper-type machine. <br />2. Using the scraper, relocate the material to the perimeter of the <br />property, particularly the west and east boundaries of State 1 and <br />' State II areas and the west boundary of the Stage III area. <br />3. Construct screening mounds as large as 20 feet high with a base <br />width of 15 to 20 feet. Once the area is mined, material stack- <br />, piled in the screening mounds will be relocated to form dividing <br />areas between the proposed ponds. <br />F. Revegetation Plan <br />' Native species of trees, shrubs and grasses will provide wildlife <br /> <br />
