CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN <br />SNYDER QUARRY ROAD <br />• PERMIT # M-77-210 <br />INTRODUCTION: The plan included in this document specifically <br />addresses revegetation and other aspects of the surface treatment of <br />the disturbances along the Snyder (quarry Road. The following plan is <br />preliminary. It supplements the 1988 engineering study by Obering, <br />Wurth & Associates. This plan may require some modification as a <br />result of the currently being completed geotechnical study of the <br />disturbance areas along the road. However, it is believed the <br />geotechnical study will not significantly alter the surface treatment <br />techniques, primarily revegetation, of these disturbance areas. <br />Therefore, the plan submitted here should be very close to what will <br />be implemented after the geotechnical study is completed and <br />modifications in the engineering plan incorporated into the physical <br />treatment of the disturbed areas. In the event the geotechnical study <br />causes a modification in the plan to an extent that portions of this <br />• plan would not be appropriate, then modifications will be p'~ovided for <br />those portions of the plan that would require changes. <br />PLANT GROWTH MEDIA: Over much of the disturbed area, the ~=urrent <br />i surface material appears capable of adequate revegetation without the <br />application of any additional growth media. This is eviden<:ed by the <br />common occurrence of various species of plants growing in the existing <br />material. <br />The primary exception to this occurs where limestone processing <br />waste fines are exposed on the surface. Past experience at this <br />quarry operation and other operations has shown that these i'ines are <br />capable of supporting good growth, but achieving that growth is <br />difficult and in most instances unsuccessful to an extent rE~quired by <br />the law or the desires and expectations of the company. Under an <br />ideal condition these fines can be revegetated to a high deri5ity, but <br />some commonly encountered factors that modify the ideal condition <br />u <br />Page 1 of 8 SNYDER ROAD CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN <br />
