There is no topsoil in the pre permit <br />disturbed area. <br />3.

When a load of recycle material is <br />delivered it is sorted and screened for content. Any wood or <br />steel is removed and the concrete, asphalt and dirt are segregated <br />for crushing and screening. The wood it taken to a dump and the <br />steel is sold for scrap. There are times when very large pieces <br />of rebar filled concrete that can not be recycled will come in <br />with loads of usable material. In other operations Willits has, <br />this amounts to approximately 100 yards every two years. These <br />large pieces will be placed in the slopes by excavating an area <br />and backfilling around them with pit run material. Establishing a <br />
