(. , ~ • • <br />I. Alt Ranch Pit (Permit No. 80-54) <br />A. Reclamation Plan: Although the county's records regarding this <br />gravel pit cannot be located, it is believed that the reclamation plan is <br />basically the same as other mines located nearby. At the conclusion of <br />mining, the land will be shaped so that no slopes steeper than 8:1 will <br />exist. Topsoil that is removed will be stockpiled and will be worked to an <br />adequate seed bed and drilled to a sorghum crop cover in late spring. <br />Followed by drilling a grass mixture in late fall or early in the next <br />spring. The mixture is to contain the following cover: <br />Switchgrass <br />Sideoats grama <br />Little bluestem <br />Blue grama <br />1.25U pls/ac. <br />2.25 pls/ac. <br />1.75U pls/ac. <br />.75U pls/ac. <br />Fertilizer will be applied at the rate of 40 lbe/ac. Cover crop <br />forage sorghum will be seeded at the 81f pls/ac. <br />To date, the county has sloped the sides of the pit and has kept the <br />area levelled. There is a stockpile of topsoil that will be worked in to a <br />seed bed next fall as the gravel is nearly exhausted. The gravel pit will <br />remain active through the following summer. <br />B. Attached hereto is a map delineating the gravel pit, prepared by <br />Ron Sidebottom, a draftsman, from Anton, Colorado. <br />
