<br />1. There is waste removal which includes topsoil provided in <br />the quarry plan. The topsoil can removed sequentially <br />as requested. 'I11ese answers will be sent to the Thorsons and <br />will become part of the quarry plan and will show that <br />the topsoil should be removed only as quarry necessitates. <br />The estimated topsoil that will be removed is 6-10,000 tons. <br />The revised rec:amation final plan now shows an area for <br />stockpiling topsoil. This area provides for an excess of <br />10,000 tons and will be level with the quarry floor on <br />the west side 5860 contour and extends level to a final <br />elevation of 5860 ft. as the toe of the stockpile reaches <br />the 5840 contour, The north side of the stockpile will <br />terminate at the haul road and the south side at the <br />drainage area. The north, east and south sides will be at <br />a 4:1 slope. <br />The SCS report :Ls ambiguous as it requests that 18 inches <br />of topsoil be applied, The distrubed area consists of <br />+ 8 inches on the flat elevated areas and 0 to 6 on the <br />slope area. An estimated 8,000 tons of topsoil will be <br />removed and stockpiled. This topsoil will provide up to <br />12 inches of topsoil for the disturbed area. The topsoil <br />will be replaced as described except that 6 inches of <br />topsoil will be placed and then ripped 8-12 inches to pro- <br />vide adhesion between the topsoil and subsoil. The addi- <br />tional topsoil will be placed on top of this ripped area <br />and harrowed. 7ihe depth of the final topsoil is estimated <br />to be between 10 and 12 inches, <br />The topsoil will. swell + 20% as it is being removed and <br />replaced. This factor in conjunction with an undulating <br />initial topography versus a relatively flat reclaimed <br />area will provide the extra topsoil final depth. It is <br />anticipated that: no additional topsoil will be required, <br />2. The revised final reclamation map shows the segrated top- <br />soil area 160' ~: 80' x 20' will provide an area for <br />10,000 plus ton:;. <br />Durable rock (ri.prap) will be stockpiled at the N.W. <br />corner (70' x 70' x 20') and will provide for 4,500 tons <br />of rock storage. Initially riprap will be used to line <br />the drainage area from the 5860 contour in the center of <br />the quarry to tYce culverts in the access roads. This will <br />eliminate excess. erosion. The small rock will be used for <br />road base within the quarry area. <br />INMlNCO <br />
