Interspersed in the excavation area <br />' are strata of silty clay ranging from 3 to 13 feet thick which will be <br />' removed from the masonry sand product during the washing and grading <br />operation. This material, along with the silty soil which lays on the <br />' surface of the ground on the north side of the excavation area, wilt 6e <br />' stockpiled for use as topsoil in the revegetation process to establish a <br />' medium For reseeding and plant growth. <br />1 <br />1 <br />
