Phase II: <br />This phase will be completed when the pond area has been excavated <br />approximately September 2003. At this time, the slopes will be finished to a 2.: <br />slope using a Cat 160H Motor Grader and a D-9 Dozer. Following the finishing <br />we will seeded and mulch as per permit specifications. <br />SPECIALS <br />1. FULTON DITCH <br />Ground Engineering is contacting the ditch company's engineer concerning the <br />work on the West Side of the pond. It is our intent to complete the majority of the <br />work in this area when the ditch is not active. With no water flowing, we can <br />eliminate any potential damage to the integrity of the Fulton ditch. <br />2. DEWATERING <br />We plan to lower the water table as needed prior to January 1, 2003. This should <br />minimize the impact on the local shallow wells and by building the liner to +5022 <br />ft. elevation; the wells should restore quickly. <br />3. SETBACK, GRADE CONTROL, AND SLOPE MAINTENANCE <br />Prior to grading the slopes to establishing the 1.5:1 grades, we will locate a point <br />10 ft from the property line onto the north, east, and south sides of the pond. On the <br />west side (the locating of the Fulton ditch), we will establish a series of points 40ft <br />from the east bank of the ditch, These points will mark the limits of our activity. <br />After these points have been determined we will use the cores from ground <br />engineering to determine the toe of slope. The vertical average will be approximately <br />42 feet to bedrock. In this case the distance to the toe of slope to the toe for sub-grade <br />(excavating) would be 63 feet. The distance to the finished toe would be 120 feet. <br />To establish and maintain the 1.5:1 s]ope, we expect to use a DS Dozer on the upper <br />30ft of the slope and use a track excavator to achieve the correct slope on the <br />remaining area. As we stated earlier, we feel that our lowering of the water level in <br />stages will reduce the Bluffing or caving of the existing material, due to infiltration of <br />ground water, and confine it to the lowest portion of the slope. We will also grade <br />check regularly to ensure slope maintenance is under control. <br />
