Following the eventual removal of the stockpiles , sites <br /> will be reclaimed using an initial fertilizer , the Climax seed <br /> mixture , hydromulch , and planted trees and shrubs. The exception <br /> is the McNulty Stockpile No. 1 , located at timberline, on which an <br /> alpine seed will be distributed , if available , and selected high <br /> altitude shrubs will be planted. <br /> 10 . 14 ARKANSAS AGGREGATE AREA ( 4 ) <br /> Ultimately, the Arkansas aggregate area (4 ) will be <br /> reclaimed to a recreational land use. <br /> Aggregate mining in the area temporarily ceased during <br /> the autumn of 1977 and may resume around the year 1982. During <br /> the interim, both permanent and temporary reclamation will occur . <br /> Depleted portions of the pit ( approximately twenty acres) continue <br /> to be landscaped and revegetated using the Climax seed mixture , <br /> spruce , pine and aspen trees, willows and other shrubs, an initial <br /> fertilizer and hydromulch. Also during the autumn of 1977 , the <br /> Arkansas River was relocated in this area to provide access to <br /> aggregate reserves when mining resumes . The new channel corridor <br /> was stabilized and reclaimed during 1977 and 1978 according to <br /> specifications provided in U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 <br /> Permit. <br /> Acreage over the remaining aggregate reserves was <br /> fertilized , seeded and mulched to obtain a temporary vegetation <br /> cover to control erosion and for aeschetics. This acreage will be <br /> r.edisturbed when mining operations resume. During 1981 or 1982, <br /> the _Storke Level settling ponds will be removed from this area and <br /> the ground temporarily revegetated as described above in this <br /> paragraph. <br /> Final reclamation under consultation with the Division <br /> of Wildlife will occur during Phase III or. IV, when aggregate has <br /> been depleted . Landscaping and revegetation operations will be <br /> similar to those used for the twenty acres described above, except <br /> that a limited amount of topsoil ( approximately 4 , 500 cubic <br /> yards) , some stockpiled prior to 1976 , will be available to spread <br /> over areas most lacking in fines and most visible from the <br /> 10-12 <br />
