Footings for the conveyor will be removed below grade and the azea will be <br />prepazed and reseeded. There will be a minimum of two feet of cover over any portions of the <br />footings that remain below grade, within the City of Fort Collins drainage and flood control <br />easement. <br />Reclamation Measures -Material Handling <br />Disturbed areas associated with the conveyor will be scarified, covered with topsoil, and <br />revegetated. Topsoil will be replaced, where required, in reclaimed azeas at a depth of <br />approximately six to twelve inches. <br />Site grading will be performed to create stable topography and will be consistent with post- <br />closure land uses. Reclamation quantities and costs aze summarized below. <br />Topsoiling <br />Topsoil will be replaced, where required, in reclaimed azeas at a depth of approximately six to <br />twelve inches. <br />Soil amendments aze not expected to be required due to the nature of the soils. However, topsoil <br />samples will be subjected to agricultural testing prior to reclamation to assess fertilizer <br />requirements. <br />Revegetation <br />Following topsoil replacement, reseeding will be performed according to SCS recommended <br />practices. Based on SCS guidance for other local projects having similar surficial soils, the <br />following revegetation procedures are anticipated: <br />• Grass seed will typically be planted in unfrozen soil between October 1 and Apri130. <br />LanclscaPc Arcl~itecturc • P~anninP • Land Manav~cmcnt <br />
