Mr. Boyce has submitted the necessary application fee <br />since July 30, 1985. Your office should have the fee on <br />hand. <br />2. Please refer to the attached map marked location map. <br />Rancho Rosado Pit No. 1 is shaded red; Rancho Rosado Pit <br />No. 2 is outlined in yellow. You can see that pit no. 1 <br />is a portion of pit no. 2. The strip shown in green is <br />the new alignment for County Road 66T, which has been <br />swapped by Boyce for the old alignment of County Road <br />66T. <br />3. The topsoil in the area varies from four (4) inches <br />to twelve (12) inches, with an average depth of six (6) <br />inches, therefore an average of six (6) inches of <br />topsoil will be salvaged and reapplied during <br />reclamation. There is no overburden between the topsoil <br />and the gravel mined. The material in the pit will be <br />mined to a depth of ten (10) to fifteen (15) feet. <br />Final slopes will be 3:1 and the reclaimed pit will be a <br />dry pit. <br />4. The pit will be reclaimed in the same fashion as <br />Saguache County San Isabel Gravel Pit approximately 1/4 <br />mile West; stockpiled topsoil will be packed and seeded <br />with native grasses to minimize erosion and invasion by <br />weeds. The top soil stockpile area will be fenced to <br />prevent disturbance from mining operations and activity <br />on the adjacent lands. <br />I <br />
