Mining Permit #M1979 -002. The City of Delta has purchased the property and is <br />currently looking at the property to be developed into a Park for the residents of the area. <br />In this proposal we are asking for a Technical revision of the current plan. The original plan <br />was to make this into a recreational area for public use. We are proposing to do that. <br />• In that we need the ability to build three parking areas for the people to utilize the <br />property which would be about 50,000 sq. ft. in size. <br />• Also in addition to the parking areas we will be adding roads to those parking areas <br />along with a maintenance road for the park which will add another 3.5 to 4.5 acres. <br />For a total of approx. 6 Acres of graveled areas. <br />• This will also include about 2 acres of Picnic and playground area. <br />• In addition we will also be adding about 2,600 to 3,000 ft of trails through the <br />wooded areas. The trails will be 8ft in width as to provide handi -cap accessibility <br />also for security and maintenance vehicles. <br />• We will be looking at the removal of all of the Tamarisk and Russian Olive as <br />required by the original plan as well as other noxious weeds. <br />• Also included in the plan is the sloping of the berms around the lake and the sloping <br />of the shore line of the lake to the required 3 to 1 slope. <br />• Removal of waste piles, there are currently 6 piles of crusher fines, rejected <br />Asphalt, Lime stone, and chips. All material except the Asphalt will be used in other <br />areas of the property from sloping of the lake and shore line to assisting in soil prep <br />for grasses. <br />• Rejected Asphalt is being hauled off by Delta County to be recycled into its Asphalt <br />program. <br />• Crusher fines and berms will be used for the soil remediation of disturbed area's as <br />to allow grasses to grow where the top soil was removed. In order to comply with <br />this stipulation we are proposing the following: Ripping of the compacted soils in <br />those area's adding approx. 2 inches of compost to the ground and then putting <br />crusher fines down then re- ripping the soil to mix compost along with an application <br />of fertilizer prior to planting a drought resistant prairie type grass in those area's. <br />They are as follows Westem Wheatgrass, Agropyron smithii. & Streambank <br />wheatgrass, Agropyron riparium. Drilling rate of 16Ibs. and 11 Ibs. per acre, and <br />doubled if broadcasted. <br />• The soil from the berms around the lake will be lowered to meet the requirements of <br />the plan, they will also be added to the area that needs top soil this will also assist in <br />soil requirements. ft will also give us the ability to adjust shore linEggpettatbe 3 D to <br />IVE <br />A ( 5 ?013 <br />DIVISION OF RECLAMATION <br />MINING AND SAFETY <br />
