<br />BIM BURNT SHALE PIT <br />NORTH OF L,~1F~ <br />SCAM9AIZY <br /> <br />The pit is located on the northwest side of State Highway 139, 20.3 <br />miles North of It~ma, Highway Mile Post No. 21.7. The area is located <br />on BIM ground. <br />The pit is a strata of burnt shale and sandstone with sow soil overbur- <br />den. The pit has been used in the past by Garfield County and the Depart- <br />ment of Highways for road construction and maintenance in the area. <br />We intend to use the pit for maintenance and construction work in the <br />Lbuglas Pass area. Quantities used frcen the pit each year will vary, <br />depending on the road conditions. <br />Reclamation will consist of contouring the pit to blend with the surround- <br />ing area. Terraces will be left with near vertical slopes between them. <br />Soil overburden will be saved and spread over the pit floor and terraces <br />where possible. The area will be seeded and a straw mulch applied. <br />
