1 � <br /> 6.2.7 Miscellaneous Improvements <br /> ' The drain ditches along a couple of the existing roads will be <br /> ' regraded to provide proper drainage into the catchment basins. In <br /> addition, areas that are disturbed during construction or that lack <br /> ' vegetation will be drill -seeded using the seed mixture previously <br /> submitted to MLRD. Certain areas may require additional topsoil or the <br /> addition of fertilizer to aid the establishment of vegetation. The area <br /> ' that has not been released by MLRD will be fenced to keep cattle out and <br /> allow time for vegetation to grow. <br /> 6.3 Erosion Control Improvements - Johnson Pit <br /> The drainage basin above the permitted area is approximately 5.1 acres <br /> as opposed to the total 35 acres shown in the Chen report. Currently <br /> ' there is approximately 1 acre feet of storage provided by 2 catchment <br /> basins. Apparently, the dike of one basin breached a couple of years ago <br /> after cattle trampled a depression along the top of the dike. This area <br /> has subsequently been repaired. The size of the basin will be increased <br /> to 2 acre feet which would provide more than total containment of the <br /> ' 100-year, 1 -hr storms. The upper dike will be raised by 1 foot and the <br /> lower dike by 3 .5 feet. Portions of the permitted area are lacking <br /> ' topsoil and vegetation . These portions will be topsoiled and <br /> drill -seeded. The perimeter of the permitted area will also be fenced. <br /> 1 <br /> -19- <br />
