H. Reclamation. Describe the annual and final reclamation standards based on the anticipated schedule for construction, <br />Operations, and project closure. Include such items as the removal of strictures and facildies including bridges and culverts, a <br />revegetation plan, permanent containment of mine tailings, waste, or sludges which pose a threat of a release into the environment, <br />closing ponds and eliminating standing water, a final surface shaping plan, and post operations monitoring and maintenance plans . <br />Each dig site will be closed and reclaimed as soon as possible after opening. Because this is an exploration project, any <br />prospects opened during the season will be closed, recontoured, and reseeded during the season in which they are <br />opened. Specifically, each excavation will be refilled with the stored waste rock and regraded. The recontouring will be <br />left rough to aid in trapping seed and eliminating any possible erosion. Stored topsoil will then be spread and the ground <br />will be reseeded using the South Park Districts approved dry/lower elevatin seed mix. Available logs will be drug across <br />slope. All sites will be monitored anually for growth. If reclamation should not be successful for any given site, the <br />process will be repeated until 80% coverage or better is achieved. All heavy - traffic areas, walk ways for equipment, non - <br />system roads, working pads, campsites, and any other disturbed areas will also be recalimed in a like fashion. <br />Additionally, all pre - existing hand -dug pits, trenches, and excavations within the immediate area of operations will also <br />be reclaimed. <br />VI.
