(c) A description of how the Reclamation Plan will be implemented to meet each <br />applicable requirement of Section 3.1: <br />This Section is addressed in the following sections and narrative. <br />3.1.2 Reclaiming Substituted Land: <br />The Applicant/Operator does not intend to substitute other land for reclamation. <br />3.1.3 Time Limit and Phased Reclamation: <br />Reclamation will be done in phases as discussed in section 6.4.5(2)(a) above and Table 1. <br />3.1.4 Public use: <br />The mine site is private land owned by the Operator. The Applicant/Operator has no intent <br />to allow public use of the land during mining and site reclamation. <br />3.1.5 Reclamation Measures — Materials Handling: <br />(1) Grading: <br />Very little site grading will be necessary, other than the surrounding pit slopes on the north <br />and part of the east sides of the amendment area. These pit slopes will be final mined at a <br />3H:1 V slope, where possible. The majority of the mined areas under this amendment will <br />daylight on the south side of the operation, creating a large bench like feature. <br />(2) Backfilling: <br />All final reclaimed slopes will be final mined at a 3H:1V slope. Therefore, no backfill of <br />final slopes will be required. Any rock, cliff like areas will be dozed and ripped as need to <br />create a 3H:1V or less final slope. <br />(3) All grading shall be done in a manner to control erosion and siltation of the <br />affected lands, to protect areas outside the affected land from slides and other <br />damage: <br />The practice of mining the final mined slopes at a 3H:1V slope, into undisturbed ground, <br />tends to minimize slope erosion and failure. The final slopes will be mined at a 3H:1 V. <br />The slopes on the north side of the mining area will be mined at a 3H:1 V. The south side <br />of the mining area will be the outer edge of a bench like topography, i.e. natural ground. <br />Therefore, the potential for off-site slope failure or erosion should be minimal. <br />The pit floor will be graded at 1% or less slope away from the toe of the 31-1: IV slopes, to <br />the intersected drainages. This will ensure no ponding of rain or snow runoff yet, prevent <br />excessive site erosion. <br />33 <br />
