priority system does not only include all the permitted lands currently <br />• controlled by Daniel's Sand and on the west side of Academy Boulevard, <br />but also the Sand F'it area to the north and currently under permit to <br />Castle Concrete Company of Colorado Springs. Pecause the reclamation <br />plans of these two operations have been linked under a single <br />develepaent concept, the limited soils available gust be distributed <br />over a wider area than just this one permit. This has certain <br />advantages to both areas. <br />The Sand Fit areas will undoubtedly have the greatest need for <br />soil, but there is little sail present that was saved. The west portion <br />of the Daniel's Sand operation is an relatively level, moderately severe <br />sites that could he adequately revegetated with limited soils. <br />Therefore, by integrating the plans, the sail is able to be used where <br />it is cost needed. Without integration, the area needing soil the worst <br />• would. have little to use and the area having the least need would have <br />the aost soil available. Without reaoval of the dike of sand between <br />the operations, moving soil froa Daniel's to the Sand Pit would be <br />uneconomic, but with the dike reaoved and the pit opened into the <br />Daniel's Sand Pit, aovement of soil becomes a very real and simple <br />matter, thus enhancing the reclamation of both areas at once. <br />SOIL SALVAGE RECDMMENDATIONS FOR THE SITE: <br />---- ------- --------------- --- --- ----- <br />It is apparent that an the west side of Academy Boulevard, soil <br />salvage is hardly passible. What soil is there has already been <br />"salvaged" and is in various piles around the site. Moving those piles <br />would not be wise as it would further harm the growth characteristics <br />that have developed in the surface layers of these piles since the time <br />they were first piled. On this side of Academy, it becomes a matter of <br />finding the best use for what is present. <br />F'AGE B ~F 9 - EXHIBIT I <br />
