stripping and reclamation only. No relocation of topsoil is proposed. If the duration before use <br /> exceeds one full growing cycle, topsoil stockpiles will be seeded with western wheatgrass to <br /> control erosion. <br /> Mining on affected lands will disturb little woody vegetation; however, if any volumes of woody <br /> vegetation are produced, they will be properly placed in areas segregated from topsoil stockpiles <br /> and used in conjunction with reclamation. The applicant may cut trees, as needed, and salvage <br /> them for firewood. <br /> The Operator will take measures to assure the stability of replaced topsoil on graded slopes by <br /> roughing the subgrade to gain a mechanical bond to the topsoil being replaced. This should <br /> ensure the elimination of any slippage zones. It is the owner/applicant and landowner's opinion <br /> that the topsoil present on site is adequate to establish the seed mix recommended by the United <br /> States Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS). No <br /> replacement topsoil is planned to be imported for reclamation. <br /> Vegetative piles, if any, will be minimal and shall be removed from the area or utilized in the <br /> reclamation of the mine site. <br /> No mining or processing facilities or equipment will remain within the permit boundary during <br /> final reclamation. <br /> 4. Water Information, Rights and Augmentation <br /> All water rights issues such as availability of water for this operation, consumption rates, dust <br /> control, etc. is presented in Exhibit G - Water Information. <br /> 5. Schedule of Operations <br /> Mining and processing may occur year around at the site depending upon customer demand. <br /> Portable mining and processing equipment will be brought on site, mining and processing will <br /> take place, and materials will be stored in stockpiles on site. It is anticipated that limited mining <br /> and processing will occur during the winter months and that material will be stockpile during the <br /> fall months sufficient to meet consumers' needs during the winter months.
