reclamation of the operation or other approved options that may be available as <br /> surrounding land uses change. <br /> C. Bond adjustments to include this land should be based on an assumption that it will be <br /> mined as that is the worst case scenario. <br /> D. It is acknowledged that the site will revert to active status from a temporary cessation <br /> status on May 12, 2018. <br /> 1. At that time it is expected that activity will resume. <br /> 2. That activity could be continued mining, reclamation, or the implementation of <br /> other options as discussed below. <br /> E. Future full reclamation option - <br /> 1. In the event no additional mining occurs either within the current affected land <br /> or on land that has not been previously affected, then reclamation should ensue. <br /> 2. The Technical Revision Map defines areas that are currently very well to pretty <br /> well vegetated and lands where no effective reclamation or revegetation has <br /> been done. <br /> 3. These following lands receive priority for additional reclamation. <br /> a. The highest priority should be the south east corner of the current <br /> affected land as that is where the worst erosion is occurring. Erosion <br /> from here is also depositing fine materials in the very good revegetation <br /> that has been established in the basin north of the south visual berm. <br /> b. Second priority would be the eastern cut face and adjacent land where <br /> willow and grass growth is largely absent. This is also contributing fines <br /> into the south basin. <br /> C. Soil for this reclamation should be taken from the eastern end of the <br /> north visual berm and extending westward into that berm as far as <br /> necessary. If no further topsoiling is to be done in the near future then <br /> the fresh cut slope in that berm should be graded to at least a 2:1 slope <br /> to reduce soil loss. If no additional disturbance is expected within 2 to 3 <br /> months then the graded slope should be seeded. <br /> d. In this option, no disturbance should be created in the south visual berm <br /> except to repair any slumps or other erosion that could threaten the <br /> integrity of the berm. <br /> (1) this berm should remain in place through final reclamation <br /> (2) the berm protects the development to the south from potentially <br /> unanticipated heavy stormwater flows from the operation into <br /> the development. <br /> e. The remainder of the reclamation would be implemented on the rest of <br /> the unreclaimed land shown on the map. <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
