There will be no drill or auger holes, adits or shafts associated with the borrow operation. <br /> (7) Maximum slopes and slope combinations shall be compatible with the <br /> configuration of surrounding conditions and selected land use. In all cases where a <br /> lake or pond is produced as a portion of the Reclamation Plan, all slopes, unless <br /> otherwise approved by the Board or Office, shall be no steeper than a ratio of 2:1 <br /> (horizontal to vertical ratio), except from 5 feet above to 10 feet below the expected <br /> 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 3H: IV 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 with 3H:1 V side slope and with establishment of the <br /> proposed seed mix. <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 are <br /> 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 /> 39 <br />
