Backfill placement required for site <br />reclamation work will occur behind the sand and gravel highwall. Topsoil <br />placement, mulching, seeding, and fertilizing activities will be delayed until all <br />sand and gavel has been mined from the site. Reclamation for the 32.5 -acre <br />area is anticipated to require three months to complete. <br />3.1.4 Public Use <br />The owner will not to allow public use of the permit area for recreation <br />purposes. <br />
