k~ <br />i ^ ^,~~u~,,«~. <br />Second, the rather high slopes on either side of Academy Boulevar~lN- <br />• will be totally or partially removed This will aid in the maintenance <br />of the highway as well as provide better access and visibility of any <br />future industrial developments on this or adjacent sites. In some areas <br />on the east side of Academy a large powerline somewhat limits the extent 7 2 <br />to which the slope can be lowered, but the slope will at least be <br />reduced in half. <br />~~. <br />~ Third, the plan allows for a close following of mining by \ Jv „n.~ <br />reclamation once about 30 to 40 acres have been opened on the east side 1 ~v~" <br />of Academy. This will help to reduce the band cost exposure of the <br />operation as well as provide for a more rapid change from mining to <br />whatever final land use is applied to the area. <br />_~~-- <br />Another feature that is somewhat problematic at this time is the <br />irrigation ditch that more or less splits the area on the east into a <br />• north and south section. If the ditch is not eventually moved or <br />possibly eliminated in the far distant future, then it will have to be <br />piped across the cut separating Phases Ie and IIe. Also the ditch will <br />cause a ridge to remain which will separate phases IIe and IVe. Because <br />bath of these situations will not have to be dealt with for at least <br />20 years, it is hoped that by then alternatives can be found as it would <br />further improve the situation in those areas and make the land even more <br />useful for building. <br />The computer generated cross-sections provided at the end of this <br />exhibit are helpful in visualizing the slopes and gradients of the pit <br />sides and the overall changes that will occur relative to the existing <br />surface configuration. The reclamation plan map (Exhibit F) was <br />derived from these sections, therefore there is a close correspondence <br />• between the sectional views and the vertical views shown on the maps. <br />FAGE 2 OF 14 - EXHIBIT E <br />
