<br />1 <br />1 <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />' Excavation of the subject site will occur as a continuation of the existing <br />permit (M-91-136) and will result in an approximate 6 acre expansion of the lake <br />that was originally planned and an additional 1.3 acre of graded slopes. <br />1 As depicted on the Reclamation Plan Map, the slopes of the excavated area will <br />be graded to correspond with the slopes of the previous operation. <br />' During gravel extraction, the banks will he excavated at 1:1 and the e <br />backfilled to a 3:1 slope or gentler. The slopes will be plated wit 8" to 12" <br />' of topsoil as a seed bed media. The soil that is to be stored in the stockpile <br />will be used for this. <br />The ern t t will be constructed along the south and east portions of the <br />' perm{t ed area will remain in lace throw final reclamation procedures. This <br />berm will be at an eleva on that corresponds with the berm along the south <br />boundary of the original permit that serves as a buffer from the Colorado River <br />' during extreme high water periods. <br />Final grading of slopes and placement of topsoil will occur after the completion <br />' of gravel extraction. <br />After the completion of all reclamation efforts, the excavated area will be <br />permitted to fill with ground water. This will result in a lake that will be <br />' approximately 22 acres in size. The surrounding shorelines will serve as a <br />habitat for wildlife that typically frequents the area. The water will serve as <br />habitat for various fish species as well as a habitat for resident and migratory <br />birds. <br />Revegetation will be performed in the fall of the year following the completion <br />' of final grading of affected slopes. Grasses that have been recommended by the <br />U.S. Soil Conservation Service will be used, and will be applied according to <br />their recommended rates and procedures. <br />1 <br /> <br />1 <br />1 <br /> <br />1 <br />
