<br /> <br />Mined Land Reclamation Re: [lest Rifle Pit File jp81-6 page 2 <br />The pond shoreline will be irregular and peninsulas will <br />be incorporated if enough spoil material remains to build <br />them. However, economics of gravel pit operations will <br />doubtless not provide for leaving recoverable reserves in <br />place for islands. <br />We have called for an area of 5:1 slope at the ponds edge <br />in order to provide mudflats (better access for wildfowl) <br />in our reclamation plan. This is proposed to the Southwest <br />corner of the pond in order to lessen the impact of resi- <br />dential activities upon wildfowl. No fill is to be placed <br />in marsh areas. Some fill may be placed in portions of old <br />meander channels during construction of settling, ponds. This <br />material will either be removed or redistributed in what- <br />ever manner will best provide suitable reclamation. It is <br />our intent to solicit input from the Division of [dildlife <br />as reclamation along, the riverbank proceeds. <br />Cattails will be considered for reclamation planting in any <br />areas they would appear to grow. A portion of the existing, <br />marshy area will be left undisturbed (it is within the tran- <br />sition zone to the West) however, without beaver dams it is <br />doubtful if this area will remain boggy or marshy. <br />Revegetation plans are in accordance with Soil Conservation <br />Service recommendations. Division of L7ildlife inputs will be <br />considered as reclamation revegetation proceeds. <br />In addition, I submit other data in order to complete this 112 appli- <br />cation. Please find enclosed the following: <br />Proof of Publication from the Glenwood Post. <br />Copy's of certification of notification to surrounding <br />property owners regarding public notice for sand and gravel <br />pit. <br />Copy of title insurance policy to previous owners and copy <br />of specific performance contract between Whites and previous <br />owners. <br />4. Letter from Garfield County Planning Dept regarding condi- <br />tional approval for a gravel pit operation. <br />I hope the Mined Land Reclamation Board will favorably review this <br />application and grant approval to this operation conditional upon <br />our providing special use permit approval of Garfield County. <br />V ry Tr ors <br />H and <br />21 March 1981 <br />
