Segregate topsoil from overburden and stockpile each separately. <br />Topsoil stored longer than one growing season should be graded to <br />slopes no steeper than 3H:1V and seeded with perennial cover. Please <br />specify the cover crop to be used. <br />Exhibit E Reclamation Plan <br />1. You have submitted reclamation plans suggested by the Soil Conservation <br />Service. Are you going to commit to implementing the guidelines <br />outlined by SCS? <br />2. No slopes shall be steeper than 2H:1V and as out]ined in your <br />applications any slopes steeper than 3H:1V will be terraced and/or <br />other measures taken to protect against erosion. <br />Given the early (March 20, 1986) Board meeting, if we can resolve these few <br />adequacy questions, I will recommend approval of these applications as "no <br />problem" items during the March Board meeting. If the two weeks of <br />publication plus comment period cannot be accomplished before the scheduled <br />meeting, I will recommend that the Board approve these applications <br />423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel.
