SECTION III : DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED RECLAMATION A. Subsequent Uses : The proposed subsequent use is crop farming in the setback areas and fish farming in the lake, in addition to any land uses permitted by the lead agency for the site . The owner (s) of the possessory interests have signed the Quarry Excavation application with San Joaquin County. B . Reclamation Schedule: Reclamation will be concurrent . Areas not in the process of excavation will continue to be farmed concurrently with the mining operations . Each year as more material is excavated, less area will be farmed. The lake will grow larger and the farmland will decrease . Eventually only the setback areas, as shown on the Reclamation Site Plan, will remain available for crop farming, and will continue as farmland. Setback areas with stockpiles that have not been sold will be maintained for weed control by spraying, discing and/or farming. Because reclamation is concurrent, the quarry will operate as a single phase . Annual inspections by the lead agency determine the disturbed and reclaimed areas, along with what is proposed to be disturbed and reclaimed in the coming year. Then the financial guarantee is adjusted accordingly. The timing of the excavation and reclamation will be determined by market conditions. C. Post-mining Topography: The Reclamation Site Plan and cross-section shows the final size of the lake and setback areas and post-mining topography. slopes: Slopes above the water table (the area out of the water) to the bottom of the excavation (the area under water) will not exceed 2 feet horizontal to 1 foot vertical. This complies with San Joaquin County requirements . 10 No slopes to San Joaquin County Community Development Department, Development Title 9-1415. 3 (k)
