The operator must follow approved reclamation plan or provide <br />sufficient information to describe or identify how the operator intends to conduct <br />reclamation. <br />CORRECTION ACTIONS: The operator shall submit a Technical Revision, with the <br />required $216 revision fee, to update and clarify the current approved reclamation plan to <br />reflect existing and proposed activities by the corrective action date. Please see the <br />inspection report narrative for specific requirements needed in the TR. This letter will <br />provide a Technical Revision for reclamation of the Reese -Logan Sand & Gravel pit. <br />Updated Reese -Logan Sand & Gravel Pit Reclamation Plan <br />The ultimate development of the Reese -Logan Sand & Gravel Pit will create a pond <br />surrounded by gravel roads currently used in the operation. When mining is completed, <br />the remaining pond and its surrounding seeded area will be the final reclaimed product. <br />The maximum gradient of the pond slopes will be 2H:1 V. <br />There will be a minimal shoreline outside the pond. This shoreline will be a maximum <br />gradient of 3H:1 V and will end when it folds into the existing roadway that surrounds the <br />mined area. The landowner intends to keep the surrounding roadways in place (see <br />signed and notarized letter). The only area to be seeded is that described as the shoreline <br />and one area used for stockpiles. Excess overburden will be evenly applied to these <br />areas. Stockpiled topsoil will also be evenly layered to attain the maximum slope. <br />Any areas over - compacted will be broken up and tilled to provide a proper seedbed. <br />6L, <br />
