TR-07 RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> 12. The final surface of the soil shall be left rough and not smoothed. The general direction of <br /> ridging of the final surface will parallel the contours of the slope. <br /> See pages 12 and 13 for discussion. <br /> 13. If the soil is not seeded within a week or two after distribution, the soil surface will be <br /> periodically loosened to avoid establishment of a smooth surface. <br /> No additional discussion. <br /> 14. Whenever possible, soil placement and final grading will not occur during the heavy <br /> thunderstorm season (generally May through early September). Soil stripping can occur during this <br /> time, but soil replacement should not occur during this time unless it cannot be delayed. Soil <br /> replaced during this time may require extensive (and expensive) reworking prior to planting. <br /> (TR-07 Note: On the remaining area to be mined, this requirement is only a preferred approach. <br /> This land has little relief and the final topography will be similar.) <br /> No additional discussion. <br /> 15. Drainage Reconnection Requirements. (This requirement is also included in the "Grading" <br /> portion of this Reclamation Plan). <br /> 1. Small drainages often occur on the side slopes of hills and are part of the <br /> general character of the topography. <br /> 2. Re-establishing these drainages in an area that has been mined is important. <br /> 3. Drainages will be constructed using a flow line that closely simulates other <br /> unmined drainages in the area. <br /> 4. Straight line drainages will not be created. A gentle winding pattern is more <br /> effective and natural. <br /> 5. If the drainage requires small basins due to its length or grade,the basins will <br /> be created in accordance with the requirements for closed basins stated in the <br /> below. <br /> No additional discussion. <br /> 16. Closed basins and erosion control measures in drainages will be constructed in accordance with <br /> the following general specifications. <br /> 1. Small, stair-step basins are preferred to single large basins. (Large basins can also <br /> need additional permitting and tend to hold water for longer than 24 hours which can <br /> conflict with water rights.) A small basin would be about 1000 square feet or less in <br /> area and a depth of one foot or less. More smaller basins are better than fewer larger <br /> basins. <br /> 2. The barrier portion of the basin will be packed firmly and be no more than about 2 <br /> feet high. <br /> 3. The basin itself will not cover more than about 1000 square feet and the basin will <br /> have a depth not greater than 1 to 2 feet. <br /> 4. If, after the basin has functioned for one season, it is found that the basin often has <br /> moist soils, planting willow cuttings or cuttings from other plants that inhabit moist <br /> areas of the nearby drainages may be done. The plantings will be concentrated <br /> toward the front of the basins. <br /> Coal Creek Sand Resource Amendment 3 (2005)- M-1988-044 Exhibit E Page 4 <br />
