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 Belveal's. The landowner has no intent to allow <br /> public use of the land during mining and site reclamation. <br /> 3.1.5 Reclamation Measures—Materials Handling: <br /> (1) Grading: <br /> Little site grading will be needed since the intent is to final mine the pits slopes at 3H:1 V. <br /> Also, please see 3.1.5(3) below. <br /> (2) Backfilling: <br /> We do not expect there will be slopes needing backfill. The intent is to final mine all <br /> slopes as stated in 3.1.5 (1)above. However,the Operator has approval under the existing <br /> 110 Permit to import inert fill for backfill. We wish to retain this option which will <br /> improve site reclamation by reducing final slopes. <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 slopes to the final grade, into undisturbed ground,tends to <br /> minimize slope erosion and failure. Therefore,the potential for off-site slope failure or <br /> erosion should be minimal. <br /> The pit floor will be final graded at approximately 1.5% or less away from the toe of the <br /> final slopes, toward the east. This will ensure no ponding of rain or snow melt, yet prevent <br /> excessive site erosion. <br /> (4) The Operator shall establish reasonable timetables consistent with good <br /> mining and reclamation Procedures: <br /> We believe the mining and reclamation phases(timetable) discussed above will reduce the <br /> potential for the reclaimed areas being re-disturbed. <br /> 27 <br />
