COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 3 <br /> RECLAMATION PERFORMANCE STANDARDS <br /> Performance standards will be developed to establish reclamation goals and to provide <br /> guidelines for evaluating the success of the site reclamation activities. The reclamation plan will <br /> comply with Rule 3 of the Mined Land Reclamation Regulations, and will be preformed on the <br /> affected lands as follows: <br /> I GRADING: <br /> l <br /> 1. Backfilling may be performed in some areas to reduce slopes to no more than 2:1. <br /> Adequate compaction will be performed to ensure stability of final regraded surface. <br /> 2. In areas where it is not practical to obtain a slope no steeper than 2:1 erosion control <br /> bench terraces will be installed across the slope. <br /> 3. All backfilling and grading will be completed within 6 to 8 months after completion of <br /> gravel mining in a designated phased area. <br /> 4. No refuse or acid forming nor'toxic producing materials will be mined. <br /> 5. No auger or drill holes will remain. <br /> 6. Final slopes will be no steeper than 2:1 in gravel mined area. <br /> 7. Agricultural crop production is not a part of final reclamation. <br /> WATER: <br /> 1. This operation will not appreciably disturb water quality or the prevailing hydrologic <br /> balance of affected land and the surrounding area. Run off from the slopes to be mined <br /> will be diverted into detention ponds along the West edge of the existing railroad bed. A <br /> silt fence will be installed on the West boundary of the area to be mined. <br /> C a There will be compliance with applicable Colorado water laws and regulations <br /> p pP � <br /> regarding injury to existing water rights. <br /> L. <br /> b) There will be compliance with applicable Federal and State water quality laws and <br /> regulations. <br /> 1 <br />
