consideration. <br /> N/A <br /> (6) Points of Compliance: <br /> N/A <br /> (7) Groundwater Monitoring: <br /> N/A <br /> 3.1.8 Wildlife <br /> (1) All aspects of the mining and reclamation plan shall take into account the safety <br /> and protection of wildlife on the mine site, at processing sites, and along all access <br /> roads to the mine site with special attention given to critical periods in the life cycle <br /> of those species which require special consideration (e.g., elk calving, migration <br /> routes, peregrine falcon nesting, grouse strutting grounds). <br /> Wildlife use during mining is not anticipated. 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 backfill <br /> area within a time short enough to avoid deterioration of the topsoil,vegetative cover <br /> or other means shall be employed so that the topsoil is preserved from wind and water <br /> erosion, remains free of any contamination by toxic or acid-forming material, and is a <br /> 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 6.3.3(1)(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 erosion <br /> and located in areas where disturbance by ongoing mining operations will be <br /> minimized. Such stockpile areas must be included in the affected areas and subject to <br /> all reclamation requirements. <br /> Please see Section 6.3.3(1)(b) and the Mine Plan Map for the location of topsoil stockpiles. <br /> We do not plan on creating topsoil stockpiles. Topsoil stockpiles will be placed to meet the <br /> requirements of Section 3.1.9(1) and (3). Once a topsoil stockpile is removed, the stockpile <br /> footprint will be reclaimed according to the approved reclamation plan. <br /> 39 <br />
