<br /> <br />' fines can be revegetated to a high density, but some commonly <br />encountered factors that modify the ideal condition usually limit the <br />ability of processing waste to be adequately revegetated. It was found on <br />the Visual Berm at the Snyder Quarry and the waste dump at the <br />Pikeview Quarry, to revegetate limestone processing wastes successfully <br />' requires a top dressing with soil or a soil-like growth medium. Of <br />course, where the surface is dominated by large boulders, little can be <br />' grown. <br />' Soils derived from Pinon/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 of <br />' the growth, although still much better than what is achieved on waste <br />alone, declines rapidly, especially where steep slopes are lnvolve~i. <br />Exposed limestone waste on the disturbed areas along the road <br />' primarily are Pound on disturbance area #4. Limestone wastes on the <br />other disturbances tend to be highly localized and compose a minor <br />'' portion of the total surface area. Soi] will be applied as a topdres;>ing <br />on land currently occupied with limestone waste or having remaitiing <br />waste present on the surface after its removal (e.g. disturbance area :r4). <br />Mapping of the Individual situations where sail will be placed cannot <br />' be provided because the areas where each treatment will occur are often <br />small and highly localized, except for essentially all of disturbance area <br />#4. Each treatment area will need to be examined individually and <br />treated according to the conditions present. <br />' Areas where soil will be applied, other than lands occupied by <br /> limestone waste, will receive an application of soil by one of two <br /> methods, depending upon the local topography, the distance from the <br /> road, and whether equipment can be used to grade the land.
