- ~ ~~ <br />CASTLE CONCRETE COMPP.77Y <br />Application No. 77-210 <br />(Snyder Quarry) <br />Information Furnished Per Staff Questions with Questions repeated <br />herein: <br />Question #1--Include access road as affected land, <br />Answer #1--We had previously stated that access road to the mine <br />would include an additional 13 acres of affected land. This was <br />inaccurate because the entire access road would not be reclaimed. <br />The access road to this mine, as it presently exists, is used by the i <br />adjacent land owners. Therefore, these roads will remain after <br />mining operations cease. We had included in the total 27 acres of <br />disturbed land approximately 2 acres of haul road adjacent to the i <br />mine in our reclamation phase. ;~ <br />.i <br />Question #2--Limit permit to area of surface disturbance. ~, <br />Answer #2--The open land, as it now exists, measures a fraction <br />under 27 acres of land. Overspills that may occur in the building <br />of the berm and possible future requirements for air vents away from <br />the open land should be included in this 27 acres. <br />Question #3--Give a detailed explanation of the end land use for <br />reclamation. <br />Answer #3--Because of the projected operating period, "reclamation" <br />should be considered as occurring in two (2) distinct stages. <br />The initial stage .contemplates completion of the "sight-and-sound" <br />berm, running easterly and westerly along the southern tip of the <br />operation. For practical purposes, and for a realistic view, the <br />treatment which the applicant accords the berm will be evident, <br />and the only evident event, for the next 50 to 100 years. <br />The berm will be brought to full heigkit as soon as commercial con- <br />ditions allow with materials from within the worksite, and topped and <br />faced with the stored topsoils obtained from the initial clearing. <br />After appropriate fertilization, vegetation growth will be so placed <br />and planned as to minimize the ability of a non-trespasser readily <br />to identify the worksite upon an eye-scan of this area. <br />"End-use". Inevitable technological developments, societal concepts <br />and needs will occur between the granting of permit and reaching the <br />-1- <br />
