~J <br /> <br />The operator is proposing to reclaim the site as a <br />basin and rangeland. The proposed reclamation of the <br />would result in a depression, approximately 10-12 f~ <br />depth, covering approximately 27 acres of the proper <br />side slopes of the depression would be regraded to ~ <br />slope of 3H:1V, and all unsold, processed materials <br />re]ectable materials produced from this operation w: <br />backfilled into and made part of the regraded basin <br />topography. The slopes of the basin and disturbed ai <br />outside the basin would be topsoiled and revegetatec <br />rangeland. The floor of the basin would be graded az <br />smoothed, but would not be topsoiled or revegetated <br />not inhibit recharge through the basin floor. <br />recharge <br />? site <br />et in <br />ty.
