usually limit the ability of processing waste to be adequatfaly <br />revegetated. <br /> 4 <br />• It was found on the Visual Berm at the Snyder Quarry and the f <br /> 4 <br />waste dump at the Pikeview Quarry, to revegetate limestone processing <br />wastes successfully requires a top dressing with soil or a soil-like <br />growth medium. <br />Soils derived from Pinyon/Juniper woodland near the Snyder Quarry <br />have produced excellent growths on the Visual Berm where soil depths <br />are at least 4 inches. At depths much less than 4 inches the quality <br />of the growth, although still much better than what is achieved on f <br /> <br />waste alone, declines rapidly. r <br />i. <br />Exposed limestone waste on the disturbed areas along the road <br /> 1' <br />primarily are found on disturbance area #4. This disturbance area was ; <br />initiated at the request of Charles Helenberg, the former owner of <br />Cedar Heights, but was halted when it was learned Mr. Helenberg did <br />not have approval for the construction. limestone wastes on the other <br />disturbances tend to be highly localized and compose a minor portion <br />of the total surface area. Therefore, the application of a soil <br />topdressing on disturbance area #4 will be the primary location where <br />• this will occur. <br />On the other disturbances, soil will be placed on limes+:one waste <br />when the location of the waste meets certain conditions. No placement <br />of the soil will occur if such placement would adversely influence an <br />already developing adjacent vegetation cover composed of desirable <br />perennial grasses and fortis and that vegetation has achieved a ~. <br /> <br />protective density. For example, if the waste exposure is far down I <br />'. <br />the slope below an area where growth is already well developed and the <br />. <br />area of exposure of the waste is small, natural processes of recovery ~ <br />will be relied upon to produce a growth medium. In this example, the <br />process of placing soil on the waste would, in nearly all such cases, <br />cause excessive disturbance to pre-existing or developing vegetation <br />cover. This would increase runoff and sedimentation being controlled, <br />at present, by the vegetation. <br />On the other hand, exposures of limestone waste that are close to <br />the road or separated from the road by areas which are showing <br />marginal growth will be treated with soil, In these instances <br /> <br />Page 2 of B SNYDER ROAD CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN <br />
