2.8 ELK CREEK DRAINAGE RECLAMATION
When the Elk Creek mine facilities are reclaimed, the Elk Creek culvert will be removed and the
drainage reconstructed. The current sediment control system consisting of ditches and ponds will
also be removed. To protect the Elk Creek drainage and prevent the addition of additional sediment
to the streamflow, Oxbow will have to use alternative sediment control measures such as topographic
roughness, small sediment traps, straw wattles, silt fence, wood logs, mulching as appropriate to
control runoff from the reseeded slopes located above the reclaimed stream channel.
If available, Salix willow species, such as S. exzgua and S. geyeriana and S. monticola and Narrowleaf
Cottonwood Popular an
gustifolia can be planted among the reconstructed rock protected drainage and
wet fringe areas to provide additional erosion control and wildlife habitat.
