1 <br /> <br /> <br />well developed Blue Grama/Western Wheatgrass grassland with mixed shrub <br />and tree cover. In a few cases the soil was derived from bottomland <br />situations where the soil tended to be somewhat higher in clay content <br />but showed high fertility. Upon completion of this dumping the area was <br />seeded. In most places, the soil was loose and the seed adhered to the <br />area quite well, but in a few small locations the seed did not adhere <br />well because of a hard surface or compacted soil. <br />The next area which was placed in a reclamation status was the <br />slope to the south of the shop area. This slope was graded using a <br />dozer and in the process soil derived from various developments in the <br />area was blended with the waste material. <br />The third area to be placed under reclamation was the remainder of <br />the slope behind the shop. This area had not been graded last year and <br />is located on the corner west of the slope completed last year as well <br />as the west facing slope just east of the new plant location. This area <br />was topsoiled using soil derived primarily from developments in the <br />surrounding area as well as a small amount of additional soil derived <br />from the stockpile on the southeast corner of the permit area. <br />RULE 2.41 3 THE LOCATION AND NUMBER OF ACRES IN THE VARIOUS STAGES OF <br />RECLAMATION (BACKFILLED, GRADED, TOPSOIL REPLACED, REVEGETATED). <br />Over the past several years a considerable amount of land at this <br />quarry has been placed in a reclamation status. The following figures <br />represent mainly those areas where reclamation has been applied, but <br />does not include the considerable amount of acreage where mining has <br />been completed, but revegetation not applied. If these areas were added <br />to the total presented below, the total area under reclamation would be <br />approximately 60 to 70 acres. <br />AREA APPROX.
