At the end of mining operations, reclamation will also occur for the haul road and processing site. <br />The haul road and any stockpile areas will be graded to the pre- mining condition, or as shown on <br />Exhibit F, and seeded. Road materials may be reused as general fill in reclamation. Any buildings or <br />machinery on the processing site will be removed; the area spread with topsoil and seeded. The site <br />grades is the processing district will be consistent with the pre- mining condition. The gravel <br />surfaced access road is to remain. <br />b) Pre- & Post Mining Conditions <br />The present land use is ranching, and, upon final reclamation, the post- mining use is anticipated to <br />be ranching. The final reclamation slopes (with the exception of possible 3H:1V slopes at the setback <br />line) and most of the grading areas will be of gentler slopes than originally present. As such, the <br />area will provide an improved ranching environment. <br />Prior to mining of Cell 4, County Road 112, which does not follow the road right -of -way in this area, <br />will be relocated, as coordinated and approved by Weld County. <br />c) Compliance with Rule 3.1 Reclamation Performance Standards: <br />3.1.1 Establishing Post — Mining Use: <br />1. Applicant is Landowner <br />2. Area is used as ranching land and will be returned to ranching land. <br />3.1.2 Reclaiming Substituted Land: <br />No substituted land is involved. <br />3.1.3 Time Limit and Phased Reclamation: <br />Each mining cell will be subject to phased reclamation. As the cell is mined out the <br />stockpiled overburden and waste material will be used to reclaim the cell. Under no <br />circumstances will an area ready for reclamation be left un- reclaimed for a period longer <br />than one (1) year. <br />3.1.4 Public Use: <br />No public Use is allowed. Lands are presently private and will continue to be private. <br />3.1.5 Reclamation Measures — Material Handling: <br />1. Final reclaimed topography will be appropriate for final land use. <br />2. All backfilling will consist of existing formations. <br />3. All erosion will be controlled and no high walls will remain. <br />2 <br />
