<br /> <br /> RECLAMATION PLAN <br />' <br /> The intention of the applicant is to conduct mining operations and subsequent <br /> reclamation efforts in such a manner that the affected site can be rehabilitated <br />' to bey of beneficial use to the citizens of Mesa County and to various wildlife <br />~ species. <br />i The ultimate purpose is to create a property that contains a lake of <br />, approximately S acres and a public trail as depicted on the Reclamation Plan <br /> Map. <br />' At the completion of Reclamation, the property will be deeded through donation <br /> to the Colorado River Front Commission or their designated recipient. <br />' With the end product in mind, the reclamation efforts shall be performed so as <br /> to construct features that are conducive to public use. <br /> To be taken into account are several factors including public safety, adjacent <br />' land uses, wildlife habitat and aesthetics of the property. <br />' The components of the Reclamation Plan will concern two areas. <br /> 1. The lake that will result from the extraction of gravel will result in <br /> approximately 8 acres. <br />' The intention of the operator is to perform the sloping and contouring of <br /> the pit banks in conjunction with the mining operations. As the mining <br /> proceeds, the banks will be shaped directly thereafter. As discussed in <br />' the mining plan, some of the overburden in Phase 2 will be used to create <br /> the banks in Phase 1. <br /> The banks in Phase 1 will be created with varying degrees of slope, from <br /> 3:1 to 5:1. The purpose being to create shallows for fish spawning and <br /> for the support of riparian vegetation. <br /> The overburden from Phase 3 will be used to create the banks for the Phase <br /> 2. <br />' Again, irregular shoreline and banks slopes will be implemented. A minimum <br />of 3:1 slope will be provided. <br /> The banks in Phase 3 will be built with excess overburden from Phase 2 and <br />' 3. As previously established, some topsoil will be stored on the north <br /> i~order of the property. <br />[t is believed that an adequate amount of topsoil is present on the site <br />ro provide 6" to 12" of soil on all the slopes. <br />' The floor of the lake will be left irregular so as to foster a more <br />:suitable habitat for aquatic species. <br /> <br />1 <br />
