1 <br /> <br /> Site Condition Following Mining <br />' Mining of the quarry will be accomplished by drilling <br /> and blasting on 40-foot tiers. Following mining, the land <br />' <br /> at the quarry will have been shaped into a nit surrounded <br />' on three sides by a series of 80-foot high sub-vertical rock <br /> walls which will rise upward and outward in stepwise fashion <br /> from an elevation of roughly 6255 feet above sea level to <br /> an approximate elevation of 7050 feet. Near-horizontal 80- <br /> <br /> foot wide benches will lie between each 80-foot escarpment. <br />t di <br />G <br /> ra <br />ng <br />' All available topsoil stripped from the mining area <br /> will be retained in stockpiles located near the Production <br /> plant. The salvaged topsoil will be mixed with overburden <br /> and organic matter in order to provide a growth medium for <br /> <br /> use in restoration of the site. This material will be <br />' spread over the area to be reclaimed and graded as shown <br /> in Exhibit F. Grading will be consi stent with the work <br />' done in previously reclaime d areas, no slopes will exceed <br /> a gradient of roughly 1:1. Movement of machinery across <br /> <br /> the slope will comaact the soil and the compacted materials <br />' ~.aill enhance the stability of the adjacent highwall.s. In <br />finish grading, creation of a rough surface that is somewhat <br />' coarse and variable will further aid in moisture retention. <br /> <br />~ 1 <br />E-2 <br />
