disturbance to a poorly developed vegetation above the limy=stone waste <br />exposure is justified. The placement of soil will improve the <br />• eventual growth to a point where it will control runoff an~j sediment <br />at least equal to what is occurring where good growth has already <br />developed. <br />Mapping of these individia`31 situations cannot be prov:~ded because <br />the areas where each treatment will occur tend to be small and highly <br />localized, except for practically all of disturbance area iF4. Each <br />treatment area will need to be examined individually and treated <br />according to the conditions present. A judgment must be meide in each <br />case based on a consideration of whether the placement of soil will <br />improve or degrade the prevailing conditions. <br />Areas where soil will be applied other than disturbance area #4 <br />will receive an application by one of two methods, depending upon the <br />local topography, the distance from the road, and whether Equipment <br />can be used to grade the land. On the few areas of disturbance #1 <br />where soil would be of benefit, placement probably will be <br />accomplished by the equipment used to correct the other conditions on <br />this disturbance area. <br />• On disturbance areas #2 and #3 the application of soil will be <br />very limited and will be done simply by end dumping over the side of <br />the road. Although end dumping seems a precarious method of soil <br />distribution it actually works well if conditions are proper, as they <br />appear to be here. This method has been locally used at other sites <br />and, provided the area needing soil is uniform in grade, the method <br />provides an excellent and uniform soil distribution. This nethod was <br />used to spread soil over the face of the 100+ feet high waste pile at <br />the Pikeview Quarry and the growth, after seeding, has almost totally <br />stabilized the site in about 3 years. <br />On disturbance area #4 the end dump approach also will be used, <br />at least initially. Although this area is deeply and variously cut by <br />rill erosion, in our experience, if the soil is introduced into these <br />rills and the general slope made more uniform then the grow{:h of the <br />eventual vegetation can be completely acceptable. <br /> <br />Page 3 of 8 SNYDER ROAD CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN <br />
