4.14.6 REGRADING OR STABILIZING RILLS AND GULLIES <br />EFCI's reclamation practices as described in Sections 2.05.4, 4.06, 4.13, <br />4.14, and 4.15 are effective in controlling runoff and erosion and <br />preventing the formation of significant rills and gullies. Specific <br />practices which will limit overland flow and consequent erosion include <br />the following: <br />o Regrading to establish relatively short, gradual, undulating slopes <br />o Regrading and topsoil replacement along the contour where practical <br />o Incorporation of vegetative materials in the replaced topsoil as a <br />natural mulch <br />o Leaving topsoil in a roughened condition <br />o Re- establishment of an effective drainage network <br />o Revegetation using proven native and adaptive introduced species <br />o Site specific measures as necessary including contour furrows. <br />temporary vegetation, check dams, sediment traps, erosion <br />netting /fences, etc. <br />These methods have proven effective in controlling erosion at other mining <br />operations having similar material, climatic and topographic conditions. <br />In the unlikely event that natural erosional processes result in the <br />creation of significant rills and gullies, EFCI will implement appropriate <br />remedial protective measures as described in the subsection titled, "Post - <br />Reclamation Management" of the Reclamation Plan, Section 2.05.4. <br />C: \WORKTRIUWNQfRB REV <br />Na m ]m. <br />4.14 -3R <br />Revised - April 1993 <br />
