Cut approximately 35 feet at the top of <br />Chen's Hill and fill lower slopes to outside edge of the road, thereby eliminating the road <br />around the perimeter of Chen's Hill. Establish a diversion ditch to divert drainage entering <br />Southfield's ponds. Division estimate of Bank Cubic Yards (BCY- for cut and fill operations: j <br />110,000 BCY. <br />2. West Slope: Reduce slopes to 3H:1 V or flatter. Cut upper slopes and push fill to outer <br />edge of road. Establish a diversion ditch and dozer basins to catch sediment from runoff. <br />Riprap lower end of diversion ditch as it enters Magpie Creek. Division estimate of cut and <br />fill operations: 30,000 BCY. <br />3. North End: Cut and fill slopes of disturbed drainage area to 3H:1 V or flatter. Reestablish <br />drainage channel with three dozers basins above pond. Reestablish access road to <br />Monarch Fan Road. Division estimate of cut and fill: 85,000 BCY cut; 32,000 BCY fill; <br />excess to be used in East Pit Fill. <br />4. East Pit: Cut approximately 290,000 BCY from west side of East Pit and fill pit. Reduce <br />south end of East P:it to 3H:1 V or flatter slopes. West side slopes will vary from 3:1 at <br />southern end to 6 or 8:1 at northern end. From approximately 100 feet back of east edge <br />of East Pit, cut at 3.5H:1 V 100,000 BCY and fill lower portion of east side of East Pit to <br />3H:1 V or flatter slope. Establish a new drainage down length of East Pit; riprap portion at <br />southern end. <br />5. Spread approximately 62,000 yd3 of topsoil from piles located at north end of Chen's Hill <br />and south end of East Pit to a uniform six-inch depth throughout the entire disturbed area <br />(approximately 76 acres). Any additional topsoil needed will be taken from the east side of <br />the East Pit. <br />6. Revegetate entire disturbed area with rangeland seed mix. <br />m:loss\bjw\hb~ <br />
