Regardless, SEMA will consider the safety <br /> and protection of wildlife entering the site during mining and reclamation operations. No <br /> described critical periods or species of concern are known by this Applicant/Operator. <br /> 3.1.9 Topsoiling <br /> (1) Where it is necessary to remove overburden in order to mine, topsoil shall be <br /> removed and segregated from other spoil. If such topsoil is not replaced on a <br /> backfill area within a time short enough to avoid deterioration of the topsoil, <br /> vegetative cover or other means shall be employed so that the topsoil is preserved <br /> from wind and water erosion, remains free of any contamination by toxic or acid- <br /> forming material, and is a usable condition for reclamation. <br /> This is a borrow operation, there will be no toxic or acid forming materials encountered <br /> during mining or resulting from reclamation operations. Please also see Section <br /> 6.3.3(l)(b). <br /> (2) Where practicable, woody vegetation present at the site shall be removed from or <br /> appropriately incorporated into the existing topsoil prior to excavation with the <br /> affected areas. <br /> There is no woody vegetation on the site needing disposal. <br /> (3) Topsoil stockpiles shall be stored in places and configurations to minimize <br /> erosion and located in areas where disturbance by ongoing mining operations will <br /> be minimized. Such stockpile areas must be included in the affected areas and <br /> 32 <br />
