Box 5 <br />Omaha, Nebraska 68101 <br />Re: La Poudre Sand and Gravel, Inc. - File No. 83-90 <br />Dear Mr. Broers: <br />Per your request of June 21, 1983 to Jim McArdle, this letter is <br />intended to present the final reclamation plans for the above site <br />as approved by the Mined Land Reclamation Board on November 17, 1983. <br />Enclosed are maps for the mining phase and reclamation phase of this <br />site. <br />As can be seen on map 2 of 3, the Plant Site is located on the south <br />side and most of the mining is on the north side of the Cache <br />La Poudre River. The operator has specified using "... 60" Arch <br />Pipe by 24 long (culverts) of adequate number to carry the normal <br />flow". The operator goes on to state, "Are plans and procedures <br />regarding this crossing will be worked out with the Corps of Engineers. <br />Other than this river crossing, all mining operations will stay a <br />minimum 100 feet back from the bank full stage of the Cache La Poudre <br />River. <br />Map 3 of 3 depicts the final land configuration once mining and <br />reclamation are completed. Reclamation will consist of sloping the <br />pond banks 4h:ly to ten feet below the water level and 2h:ly from <br />ten feet downward. The bank slopes above water level will be topsoiled <br />to a depth of six to eight inches and seeded with a seed mixture <br />recommended by the Snil Conservation Service. The operator proposes <br />to plant cottonwood trees at approximately 16 trees per acre. The <br />area will also be planted with a variety of shrub species at four to <br />six shrubs per clump. The proposed final land use of the area is <br />"Wildlife habitat/conservation/recreation"- <br />If you have any questions, feel free to contact this office. <br />Sincerely, <br />'r <br />Peter ~ ~ O'C~ino`-_ <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />PVOC/ygt <br />Enclosure <br />423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel.
