-~ iii iiiiiiiiiiiu iii Soil Dozier Avenue ueparimgenc or ~ Conservation ~on City, CO 81212 Agriculture Service Phone (719? 275-4465 SUBJECT: Reclamation Plan - County Road 2 DATE: 10-04-90 TO: Marshall Butler Fremont County Department of Planning and Zoning Fremont County Courthouse Canon City, CO 81212 SITE PREPARATION: Unsuitable soil material should be removed and buried so that it does not adversely affect water quality or plant growth. Areas to be graded shall be cleared of brush and any other material that would interfere with reclamation operations. Boulders, other rocks, and similar material shall be buried or otherwise placed where they do net interfere with reclamation r~perations, planned land use, or adversely affect plant growth. An effort should be made to reconstruct the soil with materials available on the site. Same disturbance with little thought of reclamation has already occured on the site. As we discussed there is an area with soil material that is suitable for reclamation on the west side of the property. Soils to the east of the property will also be suitable. This material may turn out to be sufficient to cover the entire area. The reconstruction material should be stockpiled in an area away from the main operation and protected for use as final cover material. In the event there is not enough suitable soil material on location, topsoil will need to be hauled in from another sit=_. Any areas u=_ed for borrow material will also need to be graded and shaped to blend in with the adjacent landscape and final slopes of the area to be reclaimed. All roads to be reclaimed and excavations should be shaped and graded to blend in v+ith the original slope. Any high walls should be graded to a lower slope if possible, or if they are to be covered, sloped on a 1!2 to 1 slope before the soil is placed against the wall. There will mast likely be some quartz monzonite ledges or pegmatite di4:es to deal with in this manner. Final grading should leave slopes flatter than 3:1, a+here at all Possible. Slopes of 6:1 or flatter are much more desirable for greater success in reve9etation and operation of equipment. In some areas, shallow depressions might be left after final shaping. These would serve to collect water to encourage the establishment of native trees and shrubs, as well as providing some e~;tra wildlife habitat. The drainageway that run along the west edge of the property may be a possible location for a shallow depression. At the time of reclamation, the stec4:piled topsoil should be spread about 6 inches thick: over the area to be reclaimed and then disced or ripped to incorporate it with the subsurface material. FERTILIZATION: We recommend that fertilizer be applied to the area to be reclaimed, either prior to seeding or after grass seedling=_ have reached the 2 to 3 leaf stage. No less fhan 20 pounds of of nitrooen (N? and 40 pounds of phosFhate ~P,nSg.~ per acre should be applied, unless a soil analysis indicates ``=_ufficient amounts of these elements. Animal manures, or similar organic material, may be used to supply all er part of the specified nutrients. .
