Regarding the road construction.The only pierce of equipment that will be in use will be a mid-sized <br /> excavator.The road ways are intended for nawigation of excavator only not other vehicles. Minimal <br /> disturbance is expected with only slight clearing of obstacles such as boulders and stabilizing Scree <br /> fields.The road way between pits will be more established being across the profile of slope which is at <br /> an approximate 30*grade and a fifteen foot wide road could have an approximate 8 foot head wall. <br /> 6.3.5 Exhibit D Reclamation Plan <br /> Reclamation of roads starts with careful construction,and keeping minimal disturbance where possible. <br /> Where road is cut into side of hill the debris will be packed close to roads edge allowing easy access to <br /> back fill.When top soils are encountered they will be berm near the areas they occur and hay retaining <br /> bundles will be used to preserve the top soils and maintain with seeding.Once the area is no longer <br /> prospected,these areas top soils will be replaced in their natural location. <br /> Reference the existing grade,is generalized at a 30*slope. Due to the slump effect of the over burden at <br /> times it will be steeper,or near flat.The flat a reas usually have a higher concentration of top soils. <br /> Steep areas have greater number of boulders up to 4 tons. <br /> 6.3.5 Exhibit E Map <br /> Additional items amended to Mining Plan Map <br /> Over burden stock piles will remain on or near road areas,topsoil stock piles will also remain on or near <br /> areas that will be re seeded. It is hard to map such areas on map as stock piles will be gathered as <br /> approached during construction. <br /> Additional items amended to Reclamation Plan Map <br /> Currently the only areas to be reclaimed at end of this season mining,are the two pits,and camping <br /> areas. Future reclamation of road ways will need between 6 to 8 feet of overburden to be replaced <br /> which are stock piled along road bank.Top soils are scarce and usually only occur at a thickness of 6 <br /> inches to 1%foot,of which will be stock piled in the general areas where reseeding will occur. <br /> 6.3.6 Exhibit F <br /> Reference a copy of the Plan of Operations, has been submitted to the Salida Ranger district as.of <br /> 5/22/2014 in the care of Ranger Chris Welker. Awaiting approval.The POO will be provided to the <br /> Bureau within 7 days after receipt by mine owner. <br />
