<br />RECLAMATION PLAN (5-16-77) <br />THOMAS PIT - ANII~4AS AGGREGATES, INC. <br />The majority of this site (approximately 16 acres) <br />is made up of river wash materials consisting of sand and <br />gravel only with no overburden. The area of excavation is entirely <br />within this area and will not be revegetated. Included in this <br />unrevegetated area are the dredge hole and channel, settling <br />pond and ditch, and the existing hole excavated at the north end <br />of the affected area. The dredge hole and channel along with <br />the existing hole will remain as they are at present except that <br />walls will be sloped to 2:1 or flatter. The settling pond <br />and ditch will be obliterated. This work will be done with a <br />dozer. <br />At least 50 narrow leaf cottonwoods will be planted <br />as bare root stock in this area. They will be randomly spaced <br />along the west side of the dredge hole and south to the south <br />boundary of the affected area. These trees will be planted during <br />the spring and watered as required the first summer. No <br />replanting of trees will be performed as it is expected with <br />normal mortality rates to retain approximately two dozen of the <br />trees. <br />As shown on the reclamation map approximately ten (10) <br />acres of the site will be revegetated with grasses as irrigated <br />pasture. This area is relatively flat (slope = 3`k +) and at <br />present is used for stockpiling and processing aggregates. <br />Upon the end of operations and beginning of reclamation this area <br />will be cleaned of all stock piles and other foreign materials. <br />The soil will be plowed and disced for aeration and to obtain a weed <br />-1- <br />
