With regard to the situation that an insufficient amount of topsoil is stored at the <br />River Road Gravel Pit for the purpose of reclamation, United Companies commits to <br />following remedy. <br />Immediately adjacent to the west of the subject property is a property owned by <br />United Companies known and operated as the Railhead Gravel Pit (M-95-036). At <br />this location, there is an abundant surplus of topsoil that will be salvaged, stored and <br />used for reclamation at the River Road Pit site. In order to plate the floor of the <br />subject site with 8" to 12" of topsoil, approximately 30,000 cubic yards of topsoil <br />must be salvaged and stored. This topsoil will be stored in the northeast section of <br />the Railhead Gravel Pit. Please see the attached map that depicts the storage area. <br /> <br />III IIIIIIIIIIIII III <br />1 999 Sox 1909 <br />Monlmse, CO 81402 <br />(970)249.1815 <br />FAX: (970)240-8497 <br />DENVER OFFICE <br />PUBLIC FILE COPY <br />FILE: u-q~-~3d <br />SITE R~ut~ tz~tiv elr <br />E>J~-oRce~u~ ~al.p~ <br />t+as ~~~ r~n~~ <br />~- <br />The soil will be stockpiled using front-end loaders and dump trucks. During the <br />stockpiling process, a certain amount of compaction will occur. This will be <br />beneficial in the prevention of erosion. <br />
