The main portion of the loadout was located north and east of the Roaring Fork River. <br />This land is know as the Diamond A Parcel. The Diamond A Parcel is being developed <br />V into a residential community with a golf course and related retail establishments. Work on <br />the development continues as of April 1996. The Diamond A Parcel was removed from the <br />permit by the DMG's approval of TR-15 on February 1, 1994. <br />Experience on newly-leveled land has shown that it normally takes 2 or 3 years of cropping <br />before pre-disturbance productivity is restored. Fertility management will be an important <br />part of achieving good productivity and soil tests will be performed on samples on <br />redistributed topsoil. Fertilization recommendations made on the basis of the analysis will <br />be followed. Reclaimed areas will be checked regularly for the formation of rills or gullies <br />" and appropriate maintenance action will be taken if necessary. <br />~ The truck dump site was constructed on a bench cut at the top of a slope. A concrete <br />retaining wall was constructed to provide a confined nearly vertical face to facilitate the <br />installation of the truck dump hopper. The truck dump site, about 200 feet square, is <br />paved and bermed to contain rainfall or snowmelt. The truck dump hopper, conveyor, <br />associated facilities and foundations will be removed. The top 5-feet of the retaining wall <br />will be removed and the bench at the base of the retaining wall back filled to an <br />approximate 2h:1v slope. A 10' strip of the paved parking area adjacent to the retaining <br />• wall will be cut off at a 2h:1v slope as part of the fill material. The remaining fill material <br />will come from nearby fill and topsoil stockpiles. The remaining parking area and the <br />associated berm will be left in place and used by the landowner as a hay storage area. <br />Reveyetation of Irrigated Cropland <br />Most of the disturbed area at the loadout facility occurs on improved pasture and hayland. <br />- Reclamation will involve restoring this land to agricultural production. After dismantling <br />and removing the surface facilities, regrading will begin. Gravel surfaces will be scarified <br />and mixed with subgrade materials before topsoil redistribution. Concrete pavements, <br />_ footings and so forth, will be broken and buried or removed from the site. Pipes, cables, <br />and bituminous material will be separated and disposed of off-site in an approved fashion. <br /> <br />a-86 11-99 <br />
