December 9, 1976 Department of Natural Resources Mined Land Reclamation Shaping and grading 62,000 cu. yds @ ;0.75 46,500.00 Benches and backslopes Revegetation of backslopes Placing of top soils 4,000 cu. yds @ ;.1.00 4,000.00 Seeding & Mulching 5 acres @ 7(10.00 3,500.00 Total $54,000.00 The mining of commercial aggregates, in so far as this ~~pplication for Conversion of Existing Permit to a Permit for Life of the Mine is concerned, will be restricted to the area designated as Parcel 2 on the "Exhibit G" topographical map. Extraction of t:he commer- cial aggregates will reduce the existing ground surface to the approximate elevations shown by the projected contour lines on the "Exhibit G" map. At these projected elevations, the ultimate sur- face will be both the floor of the quarry and the reshaF~ed surface for building sites, and complete the reclamation plan for this por- tion of Parcel 2. Reclamation of the remaining portion of Parcel 2 pertains to the west high wall of the quarry. During the extrac- tion of aggregates a series of terraces or steps are consecutively created by the mining procedures from the top to the bottom of the wall and more or less horizontally across the face of tYie wall. In essence the ridge of rock will be progressively sliced transversely until the west boundary of Parcel 2 is reached. As each slice of rock is removed a new series of terraces will be develoF~ed. Con- sequently the shaping of the west high wall terraces is an intergral function of the extraction processes. At any given point of time the terraces should reasonably conform to the shape desired for the planned reclamation of the west high wall. Final reclamation of the west high wall can be completed by some dressing down of the terrace surfaces, placing top soil at a few random intervals on the terraces and then planting selected vegetation in the top soil treated areas. Cost to complete the reclamation in Parcel 2 are as follows: Reconstruction of Jackson Gulch Revegetation of highwall terraces Placing of top soil Seeding & Mulching 2,000 cu. yds 2~ acres $8,000.00 @ ;1.00 $2,000.00 @ 700.00 $1,750.00 Contingency for dressing west high wall terraces Dozer 160 hours @ $E 0.00 $9,600.00 Total $21,350.00 cont.
