a • <br />VII. Lloyd Cecil Pit (Permit No. 83-1) <br />A. Reclamation plan: Following mining, the county has proposed <br />originally to back elope the area not steeper than 5:1. The topsoil will <br />then be replaced, compacted and seeded to a cover crop of forage sorghum at <br />the rate of 811 pls/ac. The following spring from termination of the pit, <br />the land will be re-seeded with the following mixture: <br />Little blueatem <br />Sideoata grams <br />Switchgrass <br />Blue grams <br />1.750 pls/ac. <br />2.250 pls/ac. <br />1.254 pla/ac. <br />.254 pls/ac. <br />Fertiliser will be applied at the rate of 40 lba/acre at seeding of <br />cover crop. <br />To date, the county has sloped the gravel pit and has kept it <br />basically level. The stockpile of topsail has been seeded annually for <br />erasion control. The reclamation on a permanent basis has been minimal. <br />Gravel pit remains active. <br />All reclamation proposed or undertaken per recommendations of local <br />Soil Conservation Service. <br />B. Attached hereto is a map delineating the gravel pit, prepared by <br />Ron Sidebottom, a draftsman, from Anton, Colorado. <br />
