These features must be shown on Exhibit E — Map. This should describe the measures taken to minimize disturbance to the hydrologic balance, prevent off-site damage, and provide for a stable configuration consistent with the proposed future land use. • The only structures not previously addressed are the haul roads. Any roads used to haul borrow material not previously existing on the mine site will be disked or otherwise treated to eliminate compaction prior to topsoil replacement. • In addition, any gates or fences affected or disturbed by mining and reclamation operations will be restored to equal or better condition upon completion of mining and reclamation operations. • No other structures or facilities are part of the borrow operation. 2.
