CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL <br />LIMITED IMPACT (110) OPERATION <br />RECLAMATION PERMIT PACKAGE <br />T-BONE STONE (APPLICANT) <br />EXHIBIT D- RECLAMATION PLAN (6.3.4) (REV'D. 6!5!04) <br />(1) [a] Replacing overburden will be conducted on an ongoing <br />basis, where practicable, as part of normal quarry <br />operations. Estimated depths will vary between Oft and 2 ft <br />(1 foot on average per acre = 1.613c.y./acre. (see Exhibit <br />C(1)[cj) <br />(1) [b] The slope of the proposed site currently ranges from 5% to <br />55% (Non-Technical Soil Description, Exhibit B ). <br />Gradient used for reclaimed slopes will be 3:1 were the <br />original slopes support it. Gradients of greater than 3:1 will <br />be used only in areas where the original slopes are in <br />excess of 3:1, never to exceed the original slope maximum <br />gradient of 55%. Existine hieh walls left by historic quarry <br />onerations on the site have left aonroximately 200 feet of <br />highwalls 10-12 feet hig~(there are 2 highwalls <br />approximately 100` in leneth each As part of final <br />reclamation of the site, all hiehwalls remainine shall be <br />reduced durine the auarr n~'ng~nerations so that <br />replacement of overburden will leave no more than 100 <br />linear feet of walls havin¢ a heig it of 5 to 8 feet. <br />It is not anticipated that more than 7-8 acres of the <br />permitted quarryarea will be disturbed at any one time. In <br />approximately 30 years. reclamation of the original ?-8 <br />acre quam azea will begin to occur as the remaining_3 <br />acres are develo~d in order to maintain the 7-8 acre <br />"disturbed area" foo,^pt Tint. Grass reseeding using the <br />broadcast method will occur in the spring when <br />reclamation beeins upon cessation of quanvine activities in <br />the initially disturbed azeas. <br />It should be noted that the Reclamation calculations are <br />based upon disturbance of the entire 9.9-acre Hermit azea. <br />so an additional mazein is built into the reclamation bond <br />calculation. The intent is to return the slopes to their <br />approximate original gradient, and leave only those rock <br />benches that aze necessary and appropriate to promote <br />T-BONE STONE <br />06!05!04 <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
