SCS Reclamation Information -August 31, 1978 <br />The pit is located in a sandy wash known as Sand Arroyo. The soil material is recently <br />deposited sands. There is no vegetation on the site. The area is subject to annual flooding which <br />brings added sand deposits to the azea. The mining operation takes advantage of this and continually <br />mines from the same area as new deposits are washed down. Revegetation would be impractical as <br />the site occurs naturally as unvegetated sands. <br />If arroyo banks aze to be backsloped and seeded, the seed mix recommended is: <br />Species #/A PLS <br />Covington Blue Grama 1.0 <br />Indian Ricegrass 4.0 <br />Sand Dropseed 0.1 <br />Yellow Sweetclover 2.0 <br />7.1 #PLS <br />If required by the Division the arroyo banks will be backsloped at 3H: I V. The operator feels <br />that this would be a redundant gesture as the backslopes will be washed away by flood waters and <br />left vertical. <br />
