materials hauled- for backfilling or graded in-place to appropriate slope, concrete <br />slab and bins broken in-place and buried in a pit onsite, and any remaining old <br />stockpiles of topsoil (currently existing around margins of site) hauled and spread <br />on adjacent phase areas. <br />Reclamation costs should be assigned to this operator's mining phases, <br />processing and stockpiling area, and onsite roads. Bond should be assigned to <br />areas that this operator wishes to more fully reclaim, which, although not fully <br />reclaimed, were deemed to be "adequately reclaimed" and released from further <br />reclamation liability. <br />Many of the areas which currently have disturbance and which Super -Ex is <br />proposing to reclaim, have been found to be adequately reclaimed by the former <br />permittee and do not have any reclamation bond assigned to them. Super -Ex, as <br />the new permittee and also new landowner of the site, wishes to improve these <br />unreclaimed areas during the process of mining, in an effort to better the site <br />overall. <br />Obviously, the operator is not required to reclaim the unreclaimed areas which <br />are unbonded, so it is expected that by proposing to cavy out this improved <br />version of final reclamation no bond increase will result. It is hoped that carrying <br />out the needed "voluntary" concurrent reclamation, of lands that do not "require" <br />reclamation, will be possible without a significant bond increase. <br />Reclamation equipment anticipated to be used will include 10 -yard dump trucks, <br />3 -yard wheeled loader (Cat 950 size), Cat D9N dozer with semi -u blade and <br />ripper. Typical pushes average 80 yards on level surface. <br />Super -Ex does not wish to revise the current approved seed mix, and will <br />continue to follow the existing noxious weed monitoring and control plan. <br />
