Backfill placement required for site <br />reclamation work will occur behind the sand and gravel highwall. Topsoil <br />placement, mulching, seeding, and fertilizing activities will be delayed until an <br />area of 10 acres or less in size is backfilled. Reclamation for the 10-acre area is <br />anticipated to requve two months to complete. <br />3.1.4 Public Use <br />The owner will not [o allow public use of the permit area for recreation <br />purposes. <br />3.1.5 Reclamation Measures-Material Handling <br />(1 J Reclamation grading for [his project will be performed in accordance with the <br />Exhibit F drawings included with this application.
