will complete what backfilling and other sample site reclamation is logical to complete, <br />given site specific conditions. The winter sampled sites will be checked in the spring, <br />after snow melt, for implementation of any corrective actions necessary to stabilize the <br />site.) <br />(2) When backfilling is a part of the plan, the Operator shall replace overburden <br />and waste materials in the mined area and shall ensure adequate compaction for <br />stability and to prevent leaching of toxic or acid forming materials: <br />No significant backfilling is anticipated. The sample site locations will be backfilled <br />once samples are obtained, the small hole filled and the area smoothed to blend in with <br />the adjacent waste dump surface. <br />(3) All grading shall be done in a manner to control erosion and siltation of the <br />affected land, to protect areas outside the affected land from slides and other <br />damage. All highwalls shall be eliminated: <br />There will be no highwalls produced. Once samples are obtained, the sampled hole will <br />be backfilled with excavated waste dump material and the sample area compacted then <br />smoothed to blend in with the adjacent waste dump surface. The small disturbed area <br />will be covered with burlap, or other suitable material to prevent erosion. The erosion <br />control material will be secured in place with landscape staples as specified by the <br />manufacture's recommendation. <br />However, the hand sampled sites will not have landscape material placed over the seeded <br />area due to the small nature of the affected area, approximately 4 to 9 square feet. The <br />hand sampled sites will be backfilled and the backfilled material compacted. <br />(The exception to concurrent sample site reclamation will be sampling completed during <br />winter or snowfall months. During the winter sampling, we will complete what <br />backfilling and other sample site reclamation is logical to complete, given site specific <br />conditions. The winter sampled sites will be checked in the spring, after snow melt, for <br />implementation of any corrective actions necessary to stabilize the site.) <br />(4) All backfilling and grading shall be completed as soon as feasible after the <br />mining process. The Operator shall establish reasonable timetables consistent with <br />good mining and reclamation practices: <br />All backfilling and grading will be done once sampling is completed at a sample site <br />location. The backfilled sample location will be marked and recorded for future <br />reference. <br />(The exception to concurrent sample site reclamation will be sampling completed during <br />winter or snowfall months. During the winter sampling, we will complete what <br />10 <br />
