reclamation. At time of reclamation the topsoil will be redistributed <br />and seeded with the rangeland mixture. <br />The final part of the request centers around the need to allow the <br />crane to work in the Williams Fork River while the tube is being placed <br />over the river. The crane corridor and work area, which is <br />approximately 70 x 400 feet, has been shown on the Map IV-9. As can be <br />seen, the crane corridor proceeds in a general soutFiwestern direction <br />from the lay down area. Along the corridor one of two events may occur <br />that will dictate if topsoil should be salvaged. If the ground is not <br />firm enough to support the weight of the crane then tFie top 6-12 inches <br />of soil will be removed and stockpiled for future uses. Fill material, <br />which may be imported or pushed up from within the corridor, will be <br />used to construct a pad for the crane to work from. lJpon completion of <br />the project, if fill material was used, it will be removed and topsoil <br />replaced. In the event the ground is firm enough, the crane will walk <br />out to the site. Some leveling may occur and if this is done any <br />levelled area will be seeded with the rangeland seed mixture. An <br />alternate to this would be for the crane to gain access to the river bed <br />by walking over the disturbed area west of the river. If this is done, <br />a ramp would be constructed to allow access to the river. Upon <br />completion the ramp would be backfilled and then the area reclaimed as <br />per the previously approved plan for the overland belt.. <br />The Corps of Engineers, Grand Junction office, has been contacted <br />to determine requirements for obtaining a site specific 404 permit. <br />Empire is in the process of submitting the necessary paperwork on this <br />(REV. 9/24/84) <br />IV-441 <br />
