time will be limited. This will also help reduce the exposed land area, which will reduce the <br />reclamation bond and impacts to wildlife. <br />2. Topsoil Replacement <br />The amount of topsoil proposed to be salvaged and replaced is 56,660 CY as shown in Table D- <br />1. This is based on a minimum thickness of 12 inches across the site. Topsoil can be as thick as <br />60 inches on the southern end of the site. Since the topsoil and overburden stripping methods are <br />both hoe and truck, and the placement of the vast majority of these materials happens <br />immediately after stripping, the topsoil does not need to be handled separately from the <br />overburden. <br />All of the dryland pasture and hay meadows areas will receive topsoil replaced to a thickness of <br />12 inches, including the existing disturbance. The topsoil from the topsoil stockpiles and berms <br />will be used on the remainder of the site that was not concurrently reclaimed. All other mining <br />areas will receive topsoil directly from surrounding mining areas. The compacted areas will be <br />ripped prior to topsoil placement the help root penetration past the topsoil. <br />3. Haul Roads and Access <br />Portions of the existing roads in the permit area will be removed and others altered. See Map F -1 <br />for details. Access through the site will remain after mining using the access road installed as <br />shown on Map C -2 <br />Hayden Gravel Pit, May 2013 E -2 <br />
