Compliance with applicable Colorado Water Laws and regulations governing injury to existing <br /> water rights; <br /> 2. Compliance with applicable Federal and Colorado Water quality laws and regulations; <br /> 3. Compliance with applicable Federal and Colorado dredge and fill requirements; <br /> 4. Removing temporary or large siltation structures from drain ways after disturbed areas are <br /> revegetated and stabilized, if required by the reclamation plan; <br /> 5. Containing all runoff in the mining area from the required storm event; <br /> 6. Use of a sedimentation pond at the low point of the plant area to trap sediment and ensure the <br /> quality of the discharge from this area; <br /> 7. Ongoing seeding and mulching of all reclaimed areas to minimize the amount of land not <br /> covered by vegetation. <br /> 7.S�V�Ff3efe-#t@ws-Eer�c#�4-beE@fie-E@��entfat�sct-at-svvates-0f-draif3agFc-F�aRr�ets;-pre�tide- <br /> a�pFepfiate f@sieF�c@fttf@Irweasttfesst -as-ero�onc4an ap <br /> structt+res-{#�tddefs,-ktay-k�fe-s;a#Ej-asnee�e� <br /> 2.Soil Replacement <br /> The sequence of stripping and stockpiling soil is described in the section on Topsoil Handling and Storage <br /> of Exhibit D. For replacement, scrapers, loaders,trucks and dozers may be used to replace the soil. <br /> Extreme care will be taken to ensure that all soil is relieved of compaction prior to seeding. Harrowing or <br /> ripping may be utilized to accomplish this task. Considerable data has demonstrated that soils placed <br /> with heavy equipment and no compaction relief takes decades or longer to produce normal levels of <br /> vegetation. <br /> Prior to topsoil replacement,weed control measures will be taken as outlined in section 5,below. <br /> After final grading of the surface to be soiled,topsoil from the stockpiles will be placed to a minimum <br /> depth of" 24 2nr,ol;8 inches-,-with an aveFage depth 9f 19 inc-he-5 .The soil will be obtained from the <br /> stockpiles created during mining operations as well as stripped from adjacent unmined areas. Based <br /> on the observed attraction of the sandy gravely beaches to geese,terns,and numerous other <br /> migrating bird species,no topsoil will be placed in the sandy gravel shore areas delineated on Exhibit <br />
