i I <br /> Final Reclamation Plan Permit No. M-1978-311 Technical Revision Applicalion E <br /> Technical Revision Application-Hawkeye Mine <br /> DBMS Permit M-1978-311 <br /> 1.0Introduction i <br /> The Hawkeye Mine contains only one portal to the underground and no other mine openings. The portal <br /> entry is secured with al,heavy gauge steel grate to preclude entry. The grate is welded to steel anchors set <br /> into the sandstone opening. The current reclamation plan is predicated on mining that did not occur. <br /> Thus, contouring and leveling requirements anticipated in the plan are based on activities that were not <br /> undertaken. In this regard contouring is not anticipated as an element of reclamation. There is an old <br /> steel ore bin and cribbing which remain onsite and intact. The site is free of stockpiles except for a small <br /> waste rock pile which the operator graded and seeded several years ago. <br /> 2.0 Reclamation Plan Commitments <br /> The reclamation plaq(s) submitted to the DMRS are those outlined in the original 1978 permit <br /> application. The reclamation needs identified at that time included the following: <br /> a) Sealing of Portals and Ventilation Shafts <br /> The current reclamation plan calls for sealing of the portal. <br /> b) Removal of Structures and Cleanup <br /> The current reclamation plan calls for removal of the old steel ore bin and cribbing. <br /> c) Disposition of Mine Waste(Contouring Leveling,Use for Backfill,etc.) <br /> The current reclamation plan is predicated on mining that did not occur. Thus,the contouring and <br /> leveling requirements anticipated in th„plan are based on activities that were not undertaken. <br /> Current conditions do not warrant leveling and contouring. <br /> d) Re-Vegetatiop <br /> The 1978 reclamation plan includes a seed mix which is no longer recommended by the Division. <br /> Seed mixtures will need to be confirmed and approved by the DBMS this and that approval will <br /> be included as an element of reclamation. <br /> 3.0 Proposed Reclamation Plan <br /> The final reclamation plan for the Hawkeye Mine is intended to comply with the requirements of the <br /> original 1978 reclamation plan but is modified by this Technical Revision to reflect current onsite <br /> conditions and the recommendations and the preferences of the DOE. <br /> Gold Eagle Mining lni <br /> 9� 9 .
