water line where slopes shall be not steeper than 3:1. If a swimming area is proposed <br /> as a portion of the reclamation Plan,the slopes, unless otherwise approved by the <br /> Board or Office, shall be no steeper than 5:1 through the area proposed for <br /> swimming, and a slope no steeper than 2:1 elsewhere in the pond: <br /> Reclaimed slopes will be 3K• I V or less.No pond or other water bodies are proposed. <br /> (8) If the Operator's choice of reclamation is for agricultural or horticultural crops <br /> which normally require the use of farm equipment,the Operator shall grade so that <br /> the area can be traversed with farm machinery: <br /> The reclaimed area will allow grazing since the post mining land use is rangeland. <br /> 3.1.8 Wildlife: <br /> (1) All aspects of mining and reclamation plan shall take into account the safety and <br /> protection of wildlife on the mine site, at processing sites, and along all access roads <br /> to the mine site with special attention given to critical periods in the life cycle of <br /> those species which require special consideration (e.g., elk calving, migration routes, <br /> peregrine falcon nesting, grouse strutting grounds). <br /> Significant wildlife use during mining and reclamation is not expected. Regardless, <br /> SEMA will consider the safety and protection of wildlife entering the site during mining <br /> and reclamation operations. Finally,no described critical periods or species of concern <br /> are known by this Applicant/Operator. <br /> (2) Habitat management and creation, if part of the Reclamation Plan, shall be <br /> directed toward encouraging the diversity of both game and non-game species, and <br /> shall provide protection, rehabilitation or improvement of wildlife habitat. <br /> Creation of wildlife habitat is not part of the reclamation plan. <br /> 3.1.9 Topsoiling <br /> (5) The Operator shall take measures necessary to assure the stability of <br /> replaced topsoil on graded slopes such as roughing in final grading to eliminate <br /> slippage zones that my develop between the deposited topsoil and heavy textured <br /> spoil surfaces. <br /> SEMA will take measures appropriate to the subgrade where topsoil is being replaced. <br /> Such measures may include roughing the surface in order to gain a mechanical bond <br /> between the subgrade and the replaced topsoil. Where the subgrade is of acceptable <br /> quality, it may include disc plowing the topsoil and subgrade together, a practice typically <br /> used by commercial landscapers. <br /> 46 <br />
