Amendment to theTechnical Revision of Reclamation Plan For River Bend Park/ Lafarge Property Mining premit # M1979 -002 North Delta pit. April 2013. The following proposal is an amendment to the first Technical revision for the reclamation plan of the gravel pit at the Lafarge property orginally known at the North Delta pit. The City of Delta purchased the property and is currently working on the property to developed it into a park for the residents of the area. In this proposal we are asking for a Amendment to the City of Delta's orginal Technical Revision. The original plan was to create a recreational area for public use. We are trying to accomplish this through the following actions, After working on the property we found we have a large amount of material that must be moved to accommodate the reclamation plan. Therefore we are requesting the following. • Build three parking areas for people to utilize the property; parking areas would measure approximately 50,000 sq. ft. in size. • Build roads to the parking areas and a maintenance road for the park which will add another 3.5 to 4.5 acres. For a total of approximate of 8 acres of graveled area. • This will also include about 2 acres of picnic and playground area. This area will be lowered about 8ft. to allow public view of the lake for visual safety of children or adults and making access to the lake more enjoyable. • In addition we will add 2,600 to 3,000 ft of trails through the wooded areas and around the lake. The trails will be 8ft. in width to provide handi -cap accessibility and also for security and maintenance vehicles. • Also included in the plan, is the sloping of the berms around the lake and the sloping of the shoreline of the lake to the required 3 to 1 slope or greater. With sloping on the North side possibly up to 10 to 1 for public access. Also included will be a boat ramp for non motorized boats. • Removal of waste piles, there were 6 piles of crusher fines, rejected Asphalt, limestone, and chips. Asphalt and 2 piles have been removed from the property, all other materials not needed for reclamaition will be removed from the property also, and will be utilized in other areas. This will include materials from sloping of the lake shoreline. • Rejected asphalt was hauled off by Delta County to be recycled into its asphalt program. • One large pile of crusher fines and berms along river berm will be used for the soil remediation of disturbed areas to allow grasses to grow where the top soil was removed. In order to comply with this stipulation we are proposing the following: Ripping of the compacted soils in those areas, adding approximately two inches of compost to the ground, applying crusher fines, followed by the process of re- ripping the soil to mix compost and an application of fertilizer, prior to planting a drought resistant prairie type grass in those areas.
