The second pond will be approximately 17,100 square feet in surface area, twelve feet deep and will result in about 3,125 cubic yards excavated from the proposed pond site. The soil removed from the construction of the ponds will be used onsite for facilities associated with the motor cross track, outside the wetland and buffer areas. All disturbed areas will be seeded with a grass mixture.Use of the pond will be mainly watering the remaining area to be maintained as grassland.
