<br />Site Condition Following Mining <br />Mininq of the quarry will be accomplished by drilling <br /> <br />and blasting on 40-foot tiers. Following mining, the land <br />at the quarry will have been shaped into a nit surrounded <br />on three sides by a series of 80-foot high sub-vertical rock <br />walls which will rise upward and outward in stepwise fashion <br />from an elevation of roughly 6255 feet above sea level to <br />an approximate elevation of 7050 feet. Year-horizontal 80- <br />foot wide benches will lie between each 80-foot escarpment. <br />Grading <br />All available topsoil stripped from the mining area <br />will be retained in stockpiles located near the production <br />plant. The salvaged topsoil will be mixed with overburden <br />and organic matter in order to provide a growth medium for <br />use in restoration of the site. This material will be <br />spread over the area to be reclaimed and graded as shown <br />in Exhibit F. Grading will be consistent with the work <br />done in previously reclaimed areas, no slopes will exceed <br />a gradient of roughly 1:1. Movement of machinery across <br />the slope will compact the soil and the compacted materials <br />will enhance the stability of the adjacent highwalls.
