67F.; 769 C. REHABILITATION PLAN (a) Current settling ponds will be left as lakes, with the banks being sloped and seeded. The plant area may be left for the plant area of another industry, as a factory foundation, or as parking area, as needed. Barring any of the above, the area may be plowed and seeded with some type of suit- able vegetation. Spoils piles will be sloped to prevent sliding, and seeded with a suitable type of vegetation to prevent erosion. The pit will be filled with water from underground springs and Phial's Creek, and we anticipate that OWASA will want it as a reservoir, as it is currently using to great advantage the pit from the old American Stone Company Quarry. (b) The rehabilitated topo should resemble the original topo map of the area with the following exceptions: the berm area will be built up to an unknown height and width; the settling pond and the pit will grow to unknown sizes and depths, all depending on the longevity and volume of business over the years of operation. Our plan is to leave the settling pond as a lake and to allow the pit to fill with water and thereby be a lake or a reservoir. An accurate topographical map of the berm area, settling pond, and pit is impossible to produce at this time. (c) Because of the nature of the extraction process, it is impossible to predict with any accuracy the date by which operation will be concluded. However, we anticipate that the surface rehabilitation will .40Eirk be concluded within 12 months of the date operations cengo. • (d) Equipment will be removed for use at another site or sold. Structures also will be removed if not needed by the successor. Spoil piles, as mentioned above, will be sloped and seeded.
