wildlife habitats or wildlife species will be impacted by the proposed <br />operation. <br />6.3.3 EXHIBIT C - Mining Plan <br />❑ (a) specify the estimated dates that mining will commence and end. If the operation is <br />intended to be an intermittent operation as defined in C.R.S 34-32.5-103(11)(b), the <br />Applicant should include in this exhibit a statement that conforms to the provisions <br />of Section 34- 32.5-103(11)(b), C.R.S.; <br />❑ (b) the estimated depth to which soil, suitable as a plant growth medium, will be <br />salvaged for use in the reclamation process. This description must be consistent with <br />information provided in Exhibit B. Sufficient soil must be salvaged to meet the <br />vegetation establishment criteria of Rule 3.1.10. If plant growth medium is not <br />reapplied on a graded area immediately after salvage, then the Operator/Applicant <br />must specify how the topsoil will be stockpiled and stabilized with a vegetative cover <br />or other means until used in reclamation. Plant growth medium stockpiles must be <br />located separate from other stockpiles, out of the way of mine traffic and out of <br />stream channels or drainage ways. The location of plant growth medium stockpiles <br />must be shown on Exhibit E - Map; <br />❑ (c) specify the thickness of overburden or quantity of waste rock, if any, to be removed <br />to reach the deposit. The location of any overburden stockpiles or waste rock fills <br />must be shown on Exhibit E - Map; <br />❑ (d) specify the thickness of the deposit to be mined; <br />❑ (e) describe the major components of the mining operation such as: roads and access <br />routes, pit, office, shop/maintenance buildings, plant, processing facilities, and any <br />underground openings such as adits or ventilation facilities. These components must <br />be located on Exhibit E - Map; <br />[] (f) specify the dimensions of any significant disturbances to the land surface such as pit <br />excavations, mine benches, impoundments, stockpiles, waste rock disposal areas, <br />etc; <br />❑ (g) specify the dimensions of any existing or proposed roads that will be used for the <br />mining operation. Describe any improvements necessary on existing roads and the <br />specifications to be used in the construction of new roads. New or improved roads <br />must be included as part of the permitted acreage. Describe any associated drainage <br />and runoff conveyance structures to include sufficient information to evaluate <br />structure sizing; <br />❑ (h) specify how much water will be used in conjunction with the operation, and the <br />source of this water; <br />❑ (i) if groundwater will be encountered and/or surface water intercepted or disturbed, <br />describe how mining will affect the quantity and quality of the surface or <br />groundwater and the methods to be used to minimize disturbance to the surface and <br />groundwater systems including proposed dewatering, sediment -containment or <br />
