2.05.3 (9) Return of Coal Mine Waste to Abandoned Workings <br />No coal processing waste or coal mine waste as defined in Rule 1.04 "Definitions" is produced from any <br />part of the Colowyo mining operations. Therefore this section is not applicable.2.05.4 (1)Reclamation <br />Plan <br />The reclamation objective for the Collom permit expansion area is to restore the mined area to a land use <br />capability which will be equal to or better than that which currently exists. Reclamation activities must <br />return the mine area to previously determined pre -mine land uses. Reclamation practices aim to stabilize <br />soils, maintain hydrologic and vegetation resources, and restore the approximate original contour of the <br />mined area. Mined areas within the Collom permit expansion area will be returned to their approximate <br />original use as rangeland with watersheds having their approximate pre -mining character. In general, the <br />long term appearance and usefulness of the mine area will be similar to that which would have been <br />encountered prior to any mining. <br />The proposed postmining topography closely mimics the premining topography and all major drainage <br />features and stream beds will be reestablished. In some cases, the postmining slopes will be moderated. <br />All areas of the postmining topography have been designed at a maximum slope of 3H:1V to facilitate <br />reclamation activities and model the inferred pre -stream incisision topography. <br />Collom — Rule 2, Page 83 Revision Date: 6/16/17 <br />Revision No.: MR -176 <br />
