1 <br />i ~ ~ <br />L <br />Reclamation <br />~ The reclamation plan is based, to a great extent, on two <br /> key environmental factors: (1) the site is boarded on the west <br />~. ' and the south sides by the Cache la Poudre River, and (2) the <br /> site is located within the floodplain area of that river. With <br />' these factors in mind, the site is to be reclaimed for a park] <br /> open space greenbelt area and as a limited wildlife habitat area. <br />t Both measures are feasible and xould enhance each other. <br />' Assuming the water level in the Cache la Poudre xill <br />, <br /> fluctuate, depending on several variables (time of year, amounts <br /> of storm drainage, runoff, climatic conditions, etc.) the site <br />' reclamation plan must be able to accomodate the likelihood of <br />' several unique conditions. <br /> The relatively flat contour of the land xill generally be <br />1 i <br /> ma <br />ntained, except for the removal of gravel material from the <br />' three major mining areas, as outlined previously. These areas will, <br /> after mining, form three ponds which rill cover the majority of <br /> the acreage. (see accompanying drawing.) <br /> Reclamation plans call for large berms to be constructed <br /> t th <br />it <br />d <br />i <br />t th <br />t <br />d th <br />O <br />b <br />t <br />l <br />i <br />h <br /> ou <br />e. <br />ver <br />en ma <br />e per <br />me <br />er an <br />roug <br />e s <br />ur <br />er <br />s <br />a <br />a <br />1 will be taken from the direct mining sites and used to create the <br /> berms, in an effort to minimize double handling of materials. <br />^ The berms along the riverfront will be constructed and <br />^ compacted in order to maintain a definite separation between the <br />' river and the adjoining properties. <br /> <br /> <br />
