We were unable to determine from the application and map where the 2.93 reclaimed acres lie. <br />(See 13. By moving the existing pit boundary to the east a little over 300' will allow for more <br />gravel to be mined and the reclamation will be improved by creating mono level land. It will be a <br />natural slope also the 2.93 acres have been reclaimed. Allowing to stay under 10 acres.) I assumed <br />by this statement that the 2.93 acres was to the west. If this is the rase I did not see evidence of <br />reclamation sloping or seeding. <br />2. The "reclaimed" portion should be graded to 3:1 or better and native grass seed should be drilled <br />in with a mixture reccommended by the Morgan County Natural Resources Conservation Service. <br />3. There is a pile of old tires on the west side of the pit site. If this is on the site of the <br />'reclaimed' area it needs to be removed and disposed of properly. If it is being usod to hold soil <br />Urea topsoil should be hauled in, ground properly prepared and seed should be drilled in. <br />Any loss of soils and vegetation has a negative impact. on wildlife habitat. <br />If you have any questions regarding any of this information please call me at (970) 484-2836 Ext <br />322. <br />Sinc rel <br />Doerr <br />Acting Environmental Biologist <br />767 <br />Post'it• Fax Nof <br />cc: File <br />Badde/Kroening <br />DFBARTMF.Nr oe NATURAL RBSOURCFS.
