Wastewater Treatment Facilitv <br />The wastewater treatment facility treats the effluent coining from the bathhouses, laboratory, offices, and <br />shop. When these facilities are no longer needed, the treatment facility will be reclaimed. <br />The first step in the reclamation process will be to remove the surface structures. The surface structures <br />include; fence, blower building, control box for the lift station, and the control box for the flow meter. <br />These facilities will either be salvaged or scrapped. The next step will be to remove all airlines and <br />associated materials from the ponds. All fill material covering the pond liner, the liner itself, and the <br />retaining walls will then be removed. Finally, the chlorinator, manhole, all pumps, and the support <br />structure will be removed, and the area backfilled. The pond embankment material will be used as <br />backfill. Any excess embankment material will be used to supplement backfilling operations at the portal <br />areas. <br />The area will then be topsoiled. The topsoil will be redistributed to a depth of 6 inches over the area. <br />Topsoil will be analyzed after to seeding and the appropriate amendments, if any, will be applied to the <br />soil. The area will be seeded with the pastureland seed mixture, and seeded areas will be covered with a <br />straw mulch, placed at the rate of two tons /acre. <br />Fresh Water System <br />Once the fresh water system is no longer needed to support mining and related operations, the associated <br />disturbed areas will be reclaimed. The overland water line will be disassembled and removed from the <br />site. The pipe and all fittings will be salvaged or scrapped. Disturbance resulting from the removal of the <br />line will be minimal, and it is not anticipated that any grading or re- seeding will be necessary. <br />The water - supply borehole will be sealed as per the requirements of Rule 4.07, Sealing of Drillholes and <br />Underground Openings. The water storage tank will be removed prior to topsoil redistribution, and will <br />either be salvaged or scrapped. The tank area will then be retopsoiled, seeded, and mulched as previously <br />described. <br />Red -Rock Crusher <br />Once it is determined crushed red -rock is no longer needed to support the mining and related operations; <br />the crusher area will be reclaimed. Any foreign materials left at the site such as wood or steel scrap will <br />be removed prior to reclamation. All structures and equipment including, but not limited to, the hopper, <br />crusher, and support structure will be removed and either salvaged or scrapped. The entire length of the <br />cut will be regraded to a slope of 3H:1V, to blend the cut into the natural topography. <br />The upper bench and access road leading into to the site will be ripped to a depth of 24 inches and disked <br />to establish an adequate seed -bed. The site will then be seeded with the rangeland /wildlife seed mixture. <br />Prior to seeding, the soil will be sampled and analyzed to determine if any soil amendments are necessary, <br />and amendments, as indicted, will be applied. It is anticipated this area will be seeded utilizing a <br />rangeland drill. In the event the mixture is broadcast seeded, the seeding rate will be doubled. The area <br />will then be straw mulched with the mulch applied at the rate of two tons /acre. <br />
