The Operator/Applicant and Landowners do not propose the use of this land by the public. <br /> Mining will be done by an MSHA approved contractor and the public will not be allowed on site <br /> without a company representative, Part 46 of MSHA will be followed on this site. After the site <br /> has been released by the Mined Land Reclamation Board, the Landowners may allow public <br /> access if it is deemed beneficial to the landowners. <br /> Grading shall be carried on so as to create a final topography appropriate to the final land use <br /> selected in the Reclamation Plan. <br /> Backfilling the excavated (mined) area will consist of overburden materials. Additionally, all <br /> backfill material will be compacted in place to insure stability.No toxic or acid-forming <br /> materials will be on site nor will any be delivered to this mine site. <br /> All grading shall be done in a manner to control erosion and siltation of affected lands. All <br /> means will be taken to prevent soil erosion.No highwalls will be left after mining. Best <br /> Management Practices will be used to protect areas outside the affected land from slides and <br /> other damage. <br /> All backfilling and grading will be completed as soon as feasible after the mining process. The <br /> operator will establish reasonable timetables consistent with good mining and reclamation <br /> procedures. Grading of backslopes will be concurrent with mining, and the pit floor will be <br /> contoured for seeding as mining proceeds. Backsloping will be synchronized with mining as <br /> stated above. Topsoiling will be accomplished after mining has moved away far enough to make <br /> it practical for seedbed prep and seeding. Also,time of year and weather conditions will play a <br /> role in this timing. The NRCS recommendations will be followed for seeding and time of year to <br /> plant. <br /> No refuse will be generated by this mining operation for cleaning and preparation of substances <br /> mined.No acid-forming or toxic-producing materials will be mined or used for processing at this <br /> sand and gravel mining - processing plant. Therefore, no plans have been developed for their <br /> handling. <br /> There will not be any drill or auger holes unfilled after mining. All exploration will most likely <br /> be done with small bore coring by a trained crew or by backhoe in selected. areas, and after <br /> Robinson Gravel No 1 <br /> September 2018 E-2 <br />
