WATER <br />• As per the recommendations of the Colorado Division of Water Resources, water to be <br />used with the trammel/highbanker will be brought from an approved source within a tank. <br />• No water put through the trammel/highbanker will be released into Beaver Creek. <br />Rather, a closed system will be used to collect sediment and recycled for further washing <br />of material. <br />OPERATIONS <br />Equipment must be in good working order and not leak fluids onto the ground. <br />Inoperable or broken equipment must be immediately removed from Forest Service <br />lands. <br />CULTURAL <br />• If a previously unknown site is discovered by either the operator or the Forest Service, <br />mining operations will stop immediately until the site is evaluated by the Forest Service <br />and any needed mitigation measures are developed. <br />TOXIC AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS <br />Storage and use of toxic and hazardous materials is not authorized. <br />In the event of a petroleum spill or other hazardous material spill, immediately notify the <br />South Park Ranger District and other appropriate authorities. <br />All hydrocarbon spills on soil will be removed from Forest Service lands and any other <br />necessary mitigation work will be completed prior to resumption of mining activities. <br />RECLAMATION <br />The operator'(s) agree to complete the following reclamation measures: <br />• Backfill and reshape all holes, pits and excavations associated with mining operations. <br />• Remove all trash off of Forest Service lands. <br />• Remove all structures (fences, signs, etc.) from Forest Service lands with the exception of <br />pre - existing structures. <br />• Complete all reclamation within one year of the conclusion of operations. <br />• Re- vegetate disturbed areas with Forest Service approved seed mixtures. Re- vegetation <br />will not be complete until at least 70 percent plant re- growth has been established when <br />compared to adjacent undisturbed areas. <br />• Top soil must be saved and used to cover all excavations. <br />• Return large rocks, boulders, and logs to their original position. <br />• The Forest Service may require additional reclamation measures if needed. <br />• Earth work- which includes: backfilling, re- contouring and smoothing all disturbed areas. <br />Earth work will not be considered complete if the surface is rough, no rough piles higher <br />than 12 inches may be left. <br />4 <br />
