a revised map will be submitted as part of this submittal showing finished contours <br />based upon physical survey at the time of release request for this permit. <br />2) Previously approved inert fill activity is proceeding over the northeast third of the <br />permit area (areas A & B). While area A fill is nearly complete, approximately 5.0± <br />acres remain to be filled (area B). All fill activity should be completed within the next <br />five (5) years, or approximately July 2015. <br />Since the combined basin areas comprise 45.0± acres, and approximately 0.6± acres <br />comprise permanent routes along the permit boundary and perimeters of basins, the <br />balance of lands will require resoiling and revegetation over a portion of the remaining <br />57.0± acres, including the area of fill, stockpiling and recycling activities. While <br />resoiling and revegetation will occur within the next year for the southern reservoir, and <br />within five years of completion of the northwest reservoir, correlated resoiling and <br />revegetation activities over the fill, stockpile, and recycling locations will be deferred <br />until all recycling of construction materials and the removal of construction materials <br />stockpiles is completed, which may continue indefinitely. <br />3) The southern reservoir is a completed basin of apx. 24.6± acres and has met the <br />liner construction and test requirements of the State of Colorado Division of Water <br />Resources Office of the State Engineer. The approval letter from the Office of the State <br />Engineer dated 28 November 2003 is included with this submittal. <br />4) The northwest basin is a reservoir presently under construction using the same <br />methods and standards approved for the southern reservoir. The reservoir lining is <br />completed over a majority of the location and the liner test is pending. Essentially, <br />construction of the liner utilized the following methods and standards: <br />a. Cut a 3 foot x 3 foot keyway at the toe of the basin outslope. <br />b. Backfill moist to wet shale to the required slope limits or flatter. <br />C. Compact in approximate 1 foot lifts with a sheepsfoot compactor. <br />5) Reclamation Status and Clarification of Future Activity: <br />a. 2.7± acres surrounding the northwest basin (area 2) will require six inches of <br />soil and vegetation. <br />b. 5.2± acres surrounding the planned farm storage area will be soiled and <br />vegetated as a filter strip. <br />c. 2.6± acres of the current stockpile area on the northeast corner of the <br />completed southeast reservoir (area 4) will require resoiling and revegetation. <br />The balance of the area surrounding the southeast reservoir has been soil <br />and only revegetation is pending. <br />Soil requirement total = 10.5± acres - total soil volume required = 8470.0± cu.yds. <br />Soils available on site are shown as: <br />Soil Stockpile i.= 3100± cu.yds. <br />Varra Companies, Inc.
