• ~ • <br />• ADDITIONAL RECLAMATION INFORMATION <br />Location and numbers of acres affected this year: <br />SE 1/4, NE 1/2, E 1/2, SE 1/2 of Sec. 5, T 3 S, R 70 W, and SW <br />1/4, NW 1/4, and W 1/2, SW 1/2, Sec. 4, T 3 5, R 70 W, Jefferson <br />County 65 total acres. This surface area has increased. Rock <br />removal continues to be from the high rock wall face and has <br />resulted in enlarging the area to the north. <br />Number of acres reclaimed this year: <br />Surface areas reclaimed: 20 1/2 acres <br />Number of acres in various stages of reclamation: <br />No new acreage was reclaimed. <br />Acres back filled: 3 1/2 <br />Acres graded: 3 1/2 <br />Acres revegetated: (17 to date) <br />Topsoil acres replaced: 6 acres previously topsoiled <br />With our present quarry activity involving the "high wall" <br />the same quarry floor area continues to be in constant use. <br />• This situation will continue for some years to come. <br />Species, locations and approximate planting dates of vegetation: <br />Species: 20% Rye, 5% Blue Gamma, 75$ Wheat Grass <br />This mixture is being used on all the seeding areas <br />(level surface areas, berms, and road backslopes). <br />Approximate dates of planting: October 1980; April, 1981; <br />October, 1981; October, 1983; October, 1984; October, 1985; <br />November, 1990. No fertilizers required to date. <br />Appraisal of the success of reclamation efforts: <br />The previously seeded areas continue to do well. We have found <br />that when seeding, rolling or compacting the seed into the <br />topsoil is necessary to prevent wind loss and insure a higher <br />rate of ground cover. Normal rain this year has produced <br />acceptable grass. <br />Estimate of the number of acres to be affected this coming year: <br />We anticipate 2 acres will be started beginning this summer <br />season. This 2 acres will be a continuation to the north along <br />the "high wall" area. <br />• 15 <br />
