X 55.435 = 2,414,749 Sq. ft. X 0.25 (3')603687.25 Cu. ft.. 27 = 22,358.78 Cu. yds. <br />The 3:1 slope to the south that doesn't already have topsoll on it, wtll be placed before all the <br />topsoll is stockpiled from that area. <br />The reclamation on slopes wlll be done as material is removed. The northwest sloped <br />portion will be done when mining is in that area. Tbpsofl removal will not be done until needed <br />for mining. Any vegetation wW also remain untll removal is needed to not interfere with the so11 <br />stabiltzatlon already >n place. Stockpiles of topsoil can be seeded with oats Sn the fall. Once <br />roots are established, there should be no problem with the wind etc. There will be no slope <br />where permit abuts DS&G's pit. The exact method used will probably follow already existing <br />fence maintenance. Each wW be assigned a I / 2 of each straight section between two comers. <br />The pit floor cannot be reclaimed untll a final elevation 1s determined. The fence cannot wait <br />that long, but 1 suppose tt can be redone later if not suitable. In this area a legal fence must <br />separate the two pmpertles. This is a three wire lence with post spacing no more than one rod <br />apart and comer braced. This is the minimum that can be used. <br />1 have totaled the acres on the three portions that need topsoll removed. The surface <br />area is ] 8.9 acres and I estlmate the average depth of topsoll to be 6 inches. <br />43,560 sq. ft. X 18.9 = s 823,284 sq. ft. X .5(6') = s 411,642 cu. ft. + 27 = s 15,246 cu. yds. <br />of [op soil. The 3 areas from south to north and west are 6.5, 4.1, and 8.3 acres respectlvely. I <br />contacted Childs Excavating to comment on hauling of topsoll down to pit floor. He has a lazge <br />double engine scraper. The haul distance isn't great because material would be placed(as <br />shown on new map) near removal area. The reclamation hopefully can be done as soon as each <br />of the three areas are completed. The slopes when approaching the fence need t0 be made sate, <br />but a small enough deposit leftt to remove in a short tlme so the placement of the fence is not <br />interrupted for too long a period. <br />
