GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
RECLAh1AT ION
RECOMMENDATION:
Sand and Gravel
Just north of Paonia on the south
side of the Northfork of the Gunnison
River.
9 acres.
Gravel mining.
Small lake and river course
A podion of the area is presently
being mined. The rest of the area
is bottomland forest or previously
disturbed and re invaded by willows.
Delta does not plan on mining the
areas that are not presently affected
unless there is a very dry year that
prevents flooding and gravel replenish-
ment. It is anticipated all mining
will occur in the stream bed area that
has already been affected.
Natural reclamation via the river
course and natural revegetation would
be the plan if only stage 1 is mined.
If stages 2 and/or 3 are mined then
the banks would be sloped and planted
with Russian Olive and Cottonwoods. As
said befo[e, it is not anticipated
stages 2 or 3 would ever be mined.
to be made at Board meeting.
