• c V over 50 feet in height above the water level will be created, therefore no terracing will be required per county requirements . No interim or Fill Slopes are proposed. No Temporary Cut Slopes at Setback Lines are proposed. The contour created by the excavation will be the final contour required in the reclamation plan. Cuts will not create interim slopes that need backfilling during reclamation. The final contour will be created as the excavation progresses . Slopes will be excavated to finish grade, and the clayey soils resist erosion. Final Reclamation: Drainage : Rain will fall on the cropland and be absorbed into the ground and percolate into the water table . Rain that falls in the lake will also become part of the water table . Revegetation will be in the form of typical cropping patterns in the setback areas . No areas of overcompaction will be created that require sedimentation basins, berms, silt screens, etc. Reclamation to aquaculture will begin after excavation is complete by stocking the lake with channel catfish, or other marketable fish. Channel catfish are widely raised in the central valley because of their excellent adaptability to a wide range of environmental conditions . The fish will be fed, and will be harvested when they have grown to market size . Fish will be sold wholesale to dealers . After harvest, the lake will be restocked and the cycle will begin again. No retail or fee-fishing operation is proposed. Land that will not be under excavation will remain under agricultural cultivation. Therefore, reclamation will involve only the stocking of fish in the existing lake and the continuation of farming in the setback areas . No earth moving will be required. Monitoring and Maintenance: Monitoring and Maintenance will be the subject of the annual inspection performed by the lead agency for the project site until final reclamation is deemed complete.
