N <br /> i <br /> CASTLE CONCRETE COMPANY <br /> Application No. 77-210 " <br /> (Snyder Quarry) <br /> Information Furnished Per Staff Questions with Questions repeated <br /> herein : <br /> Question #1--Include access road as affected land. <br /> Answer #1--We had previously stated that access road to the mine <br /> would include an additional 13 acres of affected land. This was <br /> inaccurate because the entire access road would not be reclaimed. <br /> The access road to this mine , as it presently exists, is used by the <br /> adjacent land owners . Therefore, these roads will remain after <br /> mining operations cease. We had included in the total 27 acres of <br /> disturbed land approximately 2 acres of haul road adjacent to the <br /> mine in our reclamation phase. <br /> Question #2--Limit permit to area of surface disturbance. <br /> Answer #2--The open land , as it now exists , measures a fraction <br /> under 27 acres of land. Overspills that may occur in the building <br /> of the berm and possible future requirements for air vents away from <br /> the open land should be included in this 27 acres. <br /> i <br /> Question #3--Give a detailed explanation of the end land use for <br /> reclamation. <br /> Answer #3--Because of the projected operating period, "reclamation" <br /> should be considered as occurring in two (2) distinct stages. <br /> The initial stage contemplates completion of the "sight-and-sound" <br /> berm, running easterly and westerly along the southern tip of the <br /> operation. For practical purposes, and for a realistic view, the <br /> treatment which the applicant accords the berm will be evident, <br /> and the only evident event, for the next 50 to 100 years. <br /> The berm will be brought to full height as soon as commercial con- <br /> ditions allow with materials from within the worksite, and topped and <br /> faced with the stored topsoils obtained from the initial clearing. <br /> After appropriate fertilization, vegetation growth will be so placed <br /> and planned as to minimize the ability of a non-trespasser readily <br /> to identify the worksite upon an eye-scan of this area. <br /> "End-use" . Inevitable technological developments , societal concepts <br /> and needs will occur between the granting of permit and reaching the <br /> -1- <br />
