3. Describe the estimated topsoil depth and how topsoil will be salvaged, stockpiled and <br /> redistributed for the re-establishment of vegetation. Specify approximate topsoil <br /> redistribution depth: <br /> All topsoil will be scraped, along with a small amount of subsoil to a depth of approximately <br /> 8 inches. The topsoil will be placed uphill from the excavation site on flat areas and <br /> buttressed with deadfall for redistribution. Regolith and substratum will be piled adjacent but <br /> separated from the topsoil. When the excavation is reclaimed, the substratum and rock will <br /> be placed first into the excavation, followed by the soil. The soil will be distributed evenly to <br /> a maximum depth allowed by the amount of soil initially present. The site will be <br /> re-contoured to match the original contour except where prudent to terrace the surface to <br /> prevent erosion and to hold the soil. Silt fences or deadfall from the Hayman fire will also be <br /> used on slopes to prevent erosion and will remain in place until vegetation is reestablished. <br /> 4. Describe how drill holes will be plugged (refer to Rule 5.4 of the Rules for required <br /> abandonment procedures): <br /> There will be no drilled holes. <br /> S. Describe how portals, adits, shafts, ponds, excavations, or other disturbances will be <br /> reclaimed (refer to Rule 3 and Rule 5 for specific reclamation performance standards). <br /> You may wish to contact the Division for closure specifications. <br /> Only shallow excavations will be used. The topsoil will be placed in a separate pile from the <br /> excavated earth. Upon completion of each prospect excavation, the hole will be filled using a <br /> backhoe. After replacing the overburden rock, the topsoil will be spread on top to the original <br /> depth. Each prospect will be contoured to original contours but left with a rough surface to aid in <br /> the trapping of the planted seeds and moisture for grass regrowth. Where slope is greater than <br /> 15%, silt fences or deadfall from the Hayman fire will be placed downslope and bermed. <br /> Fencing will remain in place until 80%or greater growth of planted seeds. <br /> Form 2—Public File Page 9 of 14 <br />
