RECLAMATION PLAN EXHIBIT E (CONT) <br /> IRRIGATION <br /> No irrigation is planned for the revegetated area in the <br /> pit . It makes the vegetation dependent on water and does not <br /> promote a vegetation cover that is diverse and capable of self <br /> regeneration. <br /> RECLAMATION PERFORMANCE STANDARDS <br /> The operator intends to mine the property in compliance with <br /> the Reclamation Performance Standards of Rule 3 . Grading will be <br /> done to create a final topography that is compatible with the <br /> intended final land use . Most slope areas will be created by <br /> backfilling to the final slope rate . These slopes will be 3 : 1 <br /> and we will attempt to retain the present drainage pattern across <br /> the property. <br /> A sign that conforms to the requirements in Rule 3 . 1 . 12 (1996) <br /> is in place at the entrance to this facility. <br /> The material used to create the slopes will be native <br /> material found on the site or imported as part of Colorado <br /> Backhoe Service' s business at that time . It will consist of <br /> sand, gravel, overburden, concrete and asphalt fragments and <br /> dirt . The pit will be reclaimed so that a suitable grade for <br /> drainage exists that matches the premining pattern. All surface <br /> runoff from reclaimed areas will be directed into the existing <br /> drainages around the site . <br /> All grading will be done in a manner to control erosion and <br /> to protect areas outside the affected lands from slides or other <br /> damage . All backfilling and grading will be completed as soon as <br /> feasible after mining is completed in any given area . All refuse <br /> will be hauled away or disposed of in a manner that will control <br /> unsightliness and protect the drainage system from pollution. <br /> There are no acid-forming or toxic materials involved in this <br /> operation. If petroleum products are stored at the site, it will <br /> be done as prescribed by applicable laws . Any storage tanks will <br /> be surrounded by a berm or be in self contained facilities <br /> adequate to retain any fluid spilled should a tank rupture . In <br /> addition, there is adequate absorbent materials on site to <br /> contain any spills that would occur outside the containment <br /> structure . There are no drill or auger holes on the land. <br /> Maximum slopes will be within the limits set forth in the Rules <br /> and Regulations of the Board and will be capable of being <br /> traversed by machinery. <br /> 17 <br />
