RECLAMATION PLAN (CONT) EXHIBIT E <br /> September 2019 <br /> mining and a 2 foot minimum cover will be maintained over the <br /> ground water table if encountered. <br /> (2) Establishing permit conditions, including numeric protec- <br /> tion levels, Protective of unclassified groundwater uses : <br /> This operation will not require any permits for either ground- <br /> water or surface water. <br /> 3 . 1. 8 Wildlife <br /> This operation has had no affect on the wildlife of the area and <br /> none is anticipated in the future . This operation is small enough <br /> that it does not affect the wildlife on the land owned by the <br /> operator. <br /> 3 .1. 9 Topsoiling <br /> (1) Topsoil removed from the upland areas will be stockpiled for <br /> more than one (1) growing season on both the north and south pit <br /> perimeters so it will only have to be moved once . If the material <br /> is to be in stockpiles for more than one (1) growing season the <br /> stockpiles will be temporarily seeded using the approved mix at a <br /> rate of 20 lbs per acre . This will control erosion and preserve <br /> the integrity of the material . <br /> (2) Mining on the affected lands will disturb little or no woody <br /> vegetation. If any large volumes of woody vegetation are encoun- <br /> tered, they will be placed in areas segregated, from the stock- <br /> piles of topsoil . <br /> (3) Stockpiles will be configured to minimize erosion and will be <br /> located where there will be no disturbance by continuing mining <br /> operations or in the channel of Sand Arroyo . As stated in 3 . 1 . 9 <br /> Topsoiling (1) above, if necessary stockpiles will be seeded for <br /> preservation to preserve the integrity of the material . <br /> (4) It is planned to locate stockpiles so material will only have <br /> to be handled once . <br /> (5) The operator will take measures to assure the stability of <br /> replaced topsoil on graded slopes by roughing the sub-grade to <br /> gain a mechanical bond to the topsoil being replaced. <br /> 16 <br />
