Reclawation Plan <Supplewental 2/17/86) Since the ne~ority of the plant site is wanwede fill it is doubtful that wuch "topsoil" can be recovered frow the plant site. Any recovered suitable topsoil shell be stockpiled along the south end of the eastern boundary. The plant site eree will be covered with gravel at least 6" in depth to reduce fugitive dust ewiasiona frow the site. The Special Uae Perwit Laaued for the plant aie requires the planting of trees along the northern boundary of the site. It is unlikely this site will ever be reclaiwed as agricultural or grazing lend. In view of the developwent occuring in the eree end the availability of access to the highway et this point, it would appear that the site will always be aowe kind of buaineaa site. However, if for aowe reason the plant site is abandoned it will be reclaiwed by rewoving the grovel, placing 4" of topsoil, frow the stockpile or iwported, and will be fertilzed, seeded end wulched with a seed wixture acceptable to the property owner that will not be injurious to hie surrounding crops. The seed wixture will probably resewble the wixture specified for the pit with spwe changes to insure no contewinetion of adjacent crops. wring operation of the plant lendacaping of the site will be done as a Hormel course of buaineaa. The haul road will rewain in place ae an acceaa road to the plt area to be purchased by Southwest Reedy-Mix. It will also be used by Rich end Co. ea a ferw road for acceaa to their propery in the eree. During contruction topsoil will be bladed to the •idea end stockpiled in windrows. Upon cowpletion of road construction th• topsoil will be placed beck on th• alopea o£ the road to the shoulder line. During the Spring or Fell of 1986 the alopea will be fertilized end seeded with a seed wixture acceptable to Rich end Co.. Since the road la ed~ecant to •eny fields operated by Rich end Co., they have dewended the right to specify the seed mixture to be used. In fact the actual leading will probably ba done by Rich end Co. to ovoid problewa that Wight arise due to contewinetion of croplands during this seeding operation. The seed wixture will closely reaeabl• the rates end varieties specified for the pit eree. Our plans now indicate that no wore than 10 acres of the pit area will be exposed groundwater. Thies Wight require working portions of the pit to a depth of only 10-12 feat in order to avoid exposing groundwater to evaporation.
