r' ~ • <br />A. RECLAMATION PLAN <br />IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'11 • (ENOINEERS'S COMMENTS) <br />CASTLE CONCRETE COMPANY <br />Application No. 77-211 <br />(Pikeview Quarry) <br />uestion #1: Trees and shrubs must also be added to the revegetation <br />program an should specifically state the type of trees and shrubs used, <br />where the trees and shrubs will be obtained, spacing of the trees and <br />shrubs, number of the trees and shrubs, when the trees and shrubs will <br />be planted, and how the trees and shrubs will be protected. <br />Comment: The type, size, common name, botanical name, and planting <br />method of the trees and shrubs to be added to the revegetation program are <br />included in Exhibits 5 and b. The planting of the larger trees and shrubs <br />shall be accomplished in the manner as described in Exhibits 1, 2, 3, and <br />4. Size and species of shrubs and trees will be determined by a qualified <br />expert in the field. In addition, a qualified expert will supervise the <br />planting and revegetation program. <br />Trees and shrubs will be planted to achieve a minimum of 12% ground cover. <br />This percent of cover is comparable with the surrounding terrain. To <br />achieve 12% cover would require the planting of a combination of 7,900 trees <br />and shrubs spaced accordingly. Trees will be planted in diamond shaped <br />clusters and spaced to 14 feet apart. Shrubs would be placed approximately <br />7 feet apart. The larger portion of the planting areas will be adjacent to <br />the water catchment areas or along the stream to these areas. The shrubs <br />and trees planting program will consist of 80 to 90% of those species <br />available through the Colorado State Forest Service. These will include <br />the small potted species (Bare root stock is not recommended). The <br />remaining 10 to 20% will be obtained through local nurseries, Colorado <br />State University, etc. These will consist of the same species but being <br />larger in size. The species listed in Exhibit 5 contains those trees and <br />shrubs suitable for planting in the environment that exists at Pikeview <br />Quarry. <br />Question #?_: What type of trees and shrubs will be used in the revegetation <br />s rim p~66 to 500 feet wide? Also state details as in A-1. <br />Comment: The 200 to 500 foot wide buffer zone between the industrial site <br />and the wildlife area will require a higher density of planting for visual <br /> <br />
