WATER RESOURCES: <br /> Final slope topography should have microtopography with dips to help reduce rilling and the erosive <br /> forces of water runoff.The current grassed south slope of the existing pit has fairly long runoff pathways <br /> that have developed rills.A less continuous slope (microtopography)can help reduce rilling, as would <br /> woody debris or woody plantings. <br /> Upon reclamation,the three main drainages that flow to the eastern boundary should be restored so <br /> that runoff(if any)travels across the mined area similar to pre-mining conditions. Channel slope and bed <br /> material should help dissipate energy and create a stable channel. <br /> WILDLIFE:TERRESTRIAL: <br /> Timing restrictions will be required to prevent disturbance to wintering wildlife.The 2015 Kremmling <br /> Field Office Resource Management Plan stipulates winter closure for big game crucial winter range from <br /> November 1 to April 30.This is required in order to reduce behavioral disruption of big game during the <br /> winter season in crucial winter habitat. No other mitigations are required other than proper habitat <br /> restoration upon completion of excavation. <br /> COMPLIANCE PLAN: <br /> Kremmling Field Office personnel will perform annual inspections and contact the operator as necessary <br /> to ensure compliance with pit development plans and the terms of the free use permit. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> • Area Map(1:24,000 scale) <br /> • Site Map(1:3,500 scale) <br /> • Survey Map <br /> • Operations Map <br /> • BLM-Required Seed Mix <br /> Page 4 of 9 <br />
