~1Q~~ (~^ „^ ~ Revised 3/86 under protest and will reserve the right to appeal any proposed or final findings by the Division that the loadout area is classified as an AVF, Reclamation Plan Regardless of the outcome of the AVF determination, Terror Creek Company has proposed a reclamation plan that will ensure the return of the area to irrigated agriculture. The reclamation plan for the area is set forth in Section 2.05.4 of the Terror Creek Company submittal to the Division. The following additional details regarding the planned reclamation techniques and the reclamation monitoring for the loadout site are provided. Terror Creek Company plans to place approximately 4,672 cubic yards of topsoil on the graded area following operation of the loadout facility. Topsoil will be replaced on an average depth of over five (5) inches. Depth of soil resources present prior to disturbance is shown on the • Soils Map (Map 3) found in the Terror Creek Company submittal. In addition, Terror Creek Company has attached a figure showing the soil profile at each sampling location (see Soils Map (Map 3)). As shown on these profiles, topsoil and subsoil material above the colluvium is quite thin. During removal activities, the subsoil and topsoil were removed as a single operation. Because of the small quantities present, the topsoil and subsoil materials could not be feasibly separated during the removal process. Prior to topsoil replacement, the colluvial material will be graded to its approximate original contour. After grading is completed, the surface will be sacrificed or ripped to provide a bonding surface for the topsoil material, to prevent slippage along the interface, and to promote root penetration. Ripping of the backfilled material will also decrease the bulk density of the material and alleviate any compaction detrimental to re-establishment of vegetation. . Following: ~- APR 1 5 iSBi~ r. . .
