r C) <br /> rMONEMTransit Mix Concrete Co. RPM,Inc. <br /> Sections of the Rules and Regulations to be Addressed: <br /> Rule 3.1.5 Reclamation Measures: <br /> (1) Grading shall be carried on so as to create a final topography <br /> appropriate to the final land use selected by the Reclamation Plan. <br /> Up to the elevation of the anticipated filled volume of the proposed Pond, little or no grading will <br /> be needed. The delivered wash fines, via the existing pipeline will decrease the highwalls by <br /> approximately 27 feet. [5802 ft. (max. elev. of wash fines)—5775ft. (elev. of the floor) =27 ft.] <br /> The remaining slopes around the Pond will be sloped according to the proposed reclamation <br /> plan, Map M-2. <br /> (2) When backfilling is a part of the plan, the Operator shall replace <br /> overburden and waste materials in the mined area and shall ensure adequate compaction <br /> for stability and to prevent leaching of toxic or acid forming materials. <br /> As stated above, up to 27 feet of backfill will be wash fines. Compaction of the wash fines will <br /> occur over time as the fines dewater. This same dewatering and compaction process was <br /> approved for the existing two wash fines ponds. Upon the completion of final reclamation, the <br /> site will meet the intended land use, wildlife habitat. <br /> The processing waste is essentially the same material that has gone into the existing two wash <br /> fines ponds. Therefore, no leaching of toxic or acid forming materials should occur. <br /> (3) All grading shall be done in a manner to control erosion and siltation <br /> of the affected lands, to protect areas outside the affected land from slides and other <br /> damage. If not eliminated, all highwalls shall be stabilized. <br /> Since approximately 27 feet of the excavated area will be backfilled with wash fines and any <br /> runoff from the internal side slopes will be into the structure, areas outside of the structure will <br /> not be affected by erosion, slides and other damage. In addition, the remaining slopes and <br /> highwalls above the backfilled area will be treated according to the proposed grading plan(Map <br /> M-2) and the approved reclamation plan. <br /> The pond face will be seeded and stabilized according the seed mix found in the 2005 Little <br /> Johnson Amendment, Exhibit E, page 8 (Daniels Sand Pit #2 Pit Slope Mix—2004 Modification <br /> of the 1992 Mix). Any erosion to the face of the pond embankment will be contained in the <br /> existing mine site workings. <br /> 4 <br />
