United States NATURAL RESOURCES 1607 Pheasant Ridge <br />Department of CONSERVATION Sterling, Colorado 80751 <br />Agriculture SERVICE phone---- (970) 522-7554 <br />May 29, 1996 <br />Richard Snook <br />Logan County Department <br />Logan County Courthouse <br />Sterling, CO 80751 <br />Dear Mr Snook, <br />of Planning and Zoning <br />We have examined the proposed sand and gravel pit site on the SE4 of <br />the SE4 of section 26, Township 7 North, Range 53 West. The <br />reclamation plan for this site is as follows: <br />Situation: A portion of the area is flood irrigated cropland. The <br />rest of the area is in native vegetation. The native vegetation area <br />has a fluctuating water table. According to your field visit with <br />Terry McKee, Army Corps of Engineers, the area is considered an <br />artificially induced wetland. <br />soils: The site consists of Fluvaquent soils, map unit 29 and <br />Fluvaquent Haplaquolls, map unit 28. The soils are deep, somewhat <br />poorly drained that are formed in recent alluvial deposits bordering <br />the South Platte River channel. These soils typically have a <br />fluctuating water table and are subject to frequent flooding during <br />the spring and summer months. <br />Vegetation: The current plant community is 70-75% grasses and grass- <br />likes, 20% forbs, and 5-10% shrubs. Plant species that occur on the <br />site are prairie cordgrass, rabbitsfoot, three square, foxtail barley, <br />indian tobacco and willow. <br />Reclamation: It should be noted that once sand and gravel mining is <br />initiated, all disturbed areas must be reclaimed. The following <br />information pertains to the reclamation of the site: <br />Site Preparation: Reclamation to the pit should be made by smoothing <br />all banks to no more than 2:1 slopes and should be flatter where <br />feasible and practicable. The topography should be made smooth with <br />no spoil piles or pits present. <br />Topsoiling: The current topsoil should be removed and reserved to be <br />used for reclamation. Topsoil should be spread uniformly over the <br />disturbed area to a packed depth of 6 inches. In the event that <br />existing soils have insufficient depth, topsoil shall be brought in <br />and spread over the deficient areas.
