Reclamation Activities. Following the completion of mining activities,site reclamation shall consist of preparing the site for cultivated agriculture.Soil tests and climatic studies of the reclaimed sites shall be systematically performed to ensure that soil compatibility is suitable for a production level present prior to mining.An evaluation of deep ripping the pit floor prior to the reintroduction of topsoil should be conducted to determine if such procedures would help to alleviate anticipated drainage limitations.In addition,the applicant shall minimize application of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers due to the close proximity of(shallow)groundwater.A complete agronomic evaluation shall be conducted prior to plantings to establish rates of fertilizer and herbicide applications. Transportation And Circulation 4.4.1 The project would generate additional vehicle trips, 4.4.1 a Although the intersection of Koster and Blewelt Roads is Less than Significant primarily haul truck traffic,on project area roadways.The anticipated to operate at acceptable levels of service with added traffic would affect traffic operating conditions.This project implementation,the intersection will require would be a potentially significant impact.(PS) widening to accommodate truck turning movements if access to the mining site is provided via Koster Road,or if Haul Route Option 2 is allowed. If the County allows the use of this haul route,the project sponsor would fund its fair share of this measure as a condition of approval of the project.Peters Engineering Group conducted a Fair- Share Percentage analysis as part of its Traffic Impact Study for this project.The fair share percentage provides a measure of the project's share of the anticipated future improvements to the transportation network.This analysis is contained in Appendix C. 4.4.1 b As a condition of approval,once in production,the applicant will be required to contribute an equitable share of the cost of the construction of a new interchange at SR 132 and Bird Road. The fee will consist of an initial contribution and a per ton—delivered-off-site fee,based on the equitable share of the project's traffic impact and quantity of delivered material.
