adjacent lands. <br /> 2. Right to cut timber on the claim for mining uses and for necessary clearing,except that <br /> timber cut in the process of necessary clearing cannot be sold by the claimant. The United <br /> States has the right to dispose of timber and other vegetative resources, <br /> 3. Right to additional timber required for mining purposes,if timber was removed from the <br /> claim by the Forest Service after claim location. The quantity and kind of timber to be <br /> provided, free of charge from the nearest available source which is ready for harvesting, <br /> will be substantially equivalent to that previously removed from the claim. <br /> The Claimant must gather a 2400-1 permit from the South Park Ranger District and follow <br /> aforementioned protocol to use the identified timber for removal. Please contact Pike <br /> National Forest Timber SW if any farther questions arise. <br /> Water Quality/Soils <br /> 16,Avoid,minimize,or mitigate adverse effects to soil,water quality,and riparian resources <br /> caused by physical and chemical pollutants during minerals exploration.activities. <br /> 17. Monitor restored ground to ensure no rills or gullies are forming and that no invasive plant <br /> species are present. <br /> 18. In" contour berms and trenches around vehicle service and refueling areas,chemical <br /> storage and use areas,and waste dumps to fully contain spills. Use liners as needed to <br /> prevent seepage to groundwater. <br /> 19. Reclaim each mining area when its use ends,using certified local native plants as available; <br /> avoid persistent or invasive exotic species. Stabilize waste dumps and tailings in non-use <br /> in <br /> periods to prevent wind and water erosion, <br /> 20. Reclaim and stabilize facilities,disturbed areas,surface water diversion structures,and <br /> transport and storage areas before the end of seasonal shutdown so that they will function as <br /> designed to prevent adverse impacts to surface water from erosion and sedimentation. <br /> 21.Back-fill and re-contour disturbed areas,,including exploratory trenches,pits,or holes to the <br /> original contour,where practicable, or to an acceptable post-mining contour that blends <br /> with the surrounding topography to re-establish surface and subsurface hydrologic <br /> pathways to the extent practicable. <br /> 22. Report spills and take appropriate clean-up actions in accordance with applicable state and <br /> federal laws,rules and regulations.Contaminated soil and other material shall be removed <br /> from NFS lands and disposed of in a manner according to state and federal laws,aides,and <br /> regulations. <br /> 23.Limit the amount of exposed or disturbed soil at any one time to the minimum necessary for <br /> efficient operations during minerals production activities. Stabilize mined areas and surface <br /> disturbance activities as soon as practicable before moving and openi.ng new areas. <br /> 24. Clearly delineate the geographic limits of the area to be cleared. <br /> 25. Conduct extraction activities in such a manner as to minimize the potential for slope <br /> failures,limit slope steepness and-length, limit disturbed areas to those actively used for <br /> extraction,retain existing vegetation as long as possible,and allow for progressive <br /> reclamation of the site where practicable. <br /> ................... <br />
