• <br />G. STABILITY ANALYSIS. The quarried out area will be stable upon <br />completion of quarrying. A reclamation report from Charles Mallette, P.E., <br />Consulting Geological Engineer is attached on the third following page. <br />After the spoils pile has been removed, the following procedure will be <br />followed to reclaim these premises: <br />The barren, sized, limestone product stockpile left by CF&I is an eyesore, <br />and parts of it could conceivably become unstable during unusual flooding <br />conditions (i.e. 100-year, 500-year floods). There is no soil or vegetation <br />on the stockpile, and there appears to be no soil under the stockpile as the <br />stockpile seems to have been placed on leveled-off rock outcroppings. <br />The reclamation plan is basically the removal of the stockpile and the <br />dressing-off of any remaining "high walls" to a 3:1 slope on highwalls <br />created by the stockpile removal. The final graded slopes will be <br />contoured into the topography as practicably as can be accomplished. The <br />final configuration, while not vegetated any more (or less) than now, will <br />be more pleasing to look at and arguably more stable. The final <br />configuration in the stockpile azea removed will be similar to prior CF&I <br />disturbance. <br />A. OVERBURDEN. There is no overburden on the stockpi]es. <br />B. FINAL SLOPE GRADIENTS. Final slopes will be 3:1. <br />C. REVEGETATION. Since there is no vegetation on the stockpile now, no <br />revegetation will be undertaken upon stockpile removal completion. <br />D. REMAINING PONDS PONDS. ROADS. STREAMS_ BUILDINGS. There <br />are no ponds, streams or buildings on the existing stockpile. Of course the <br />existing roads on top of [he stockpile will disappear with removal of the <br />stockpile. The main canyon drainage (South Arkansas River) located between <br />the stockpile and U.S. Highway 50 will not be disturbed and will remain as is <br />now. Where practicable, there will be a ditch and settling pond between the <br />spoils pile and the South Arkansas River for sediment control. The existing <br />building within 200' of the stockpile will remain after stockpile removal. <br />E. DUMPS. MINE OPENINGS AND DITCHES. None of these facilities are <br />part of the mining plan required to remove the stockpile. <br />F. RECLAMATION COST ESTIMATE. See Exhibit L. <br />5 <br />
