00 ® 43 <br /> zY <br /> LINDA HEISIG QUARRY PERMIT APPLICATION <br /> RECLAMATION PLAN DATA <br /> 1. DESCRIPTION OF ENVIROMENTAL SETTING: <br /> A. SEE MAPS <br /> B. GEOLOGY <br /> 1. This site location is on the western part of the ranch and is bound by Whiskey <br /> Slough along the south property line and the Middle River slough along the <br /> west property line. The ranch is located on Lower Roberts Island with small <br /> and medium sized ranches to the north and to the east. The lands to the north <br /> and east of this project are a heavy rich dirt consisting of peat and silty dirt <br /> combinations. This proposed quarry site also has areas that are rich in this <br /> peat/dirt combination. But a large area of this site has been non productive, <br /> as this site was used as a spoils deposit site for the creation of Whiskey Slough <br /> and as suchfhas never.produced a productive crop because,of all the sand that, <br /> was pumped onto this site nearly,a hundred years ago. <br /> C. HYDROLOGY <br /> 1. There is-not a surface or,.ground,water.resource on this site except for�two <br /> water siphons used for irrigation shown'on plans from the two different <br /> sloughs abutting subject site along south and west property boundary lines. <br /> j D. SOIL ASSESSMENT <br /> 1. See attached FGL Fruit Growers Laboratory soils analysis. These soil analyses <br /> were taken for the topsoil to be reused and the sand which is a very sub standard <br /> material for farming. <br /> E. VEGETATION/WILDLIFE <br /> I <br /> 1. The farmer who owns this site stated that they have never seen any wildlife or <br /> animals on this property and the farmable half of ranch is always diced and <br /> planted each year with crops and the.non productive portion is-diced-and <br /> planted in winter.oats so the.ground is.always disturbed and too busy for,. <br /> wildlife to remain on site. A borrowing Owl survey was taken with no notice <br /> of any activity. A Borrowing Owl survey was also taken at another site for a <br /> grading leveling excavation that also showed no Owl activity in this general <br /> vicinity located one and half miles to the east. <br /> 1 <br /> i <br />
