r `••~ <br />• <br />Page -2- <br />APPLICATION FOR PERMIT FOR LIMITED IMPACT OPERATION (Cont'd) <br />Water: A few Springs cut as we mine, they dry up. <br />A pond has been built to take care of the <br />run-off till it dries. <br />Vegetation: Cactus, Soap Weed and grass. <br />Soils: Clay, sandstone, very little top soil; it <br />is sandy. <br />11.) Reclamation Plans: ROBCO has mined this land since <br />1961 and as we advance with the pit we push overburden <br />back into the mined out area, reclaiming the land as <br />we advance (approximately 5 acres last year), making <br />the cost a lot less and also don't have as much open <br />area at one time. The ground is put on a slope con- <br />forming with the surrounding land as much as possible, <br />eliminating erosion. This land is pasture land and <br />goes back to cactus, soap weed and grass. <br />We also have planted 1,000 trees per year on the <br />property but lack of water kills most of them. <br />
