Growth medium storage areas, when in place for more than one year and with no further development at the storage areas planned, are seeded with the same or a similar seed mix approved by DRMS for use in reclamation (see Reclamation Plan provided in Exhibit E). The seed mix may emphasize annuals if the storage area is anticipated to be moved within approximately two years (see Table J-1 and Exhibit J). <br />If necessary, erosion control structures, run-on diversion ditches, or equivalent structures designed for two times the 10-year, 24-hour precipitation event will be constructed up-gradient of growth medium areas for protection. A more complete discussion of water and sediment control from stormwater runoff is contained in Exhibit U. <br />3.2 Mining Areas, Operations, and Equipment <br />Surface mining and backfilling will continue in the previously approved areas, predominantly in North Cresson Mine area, and East Cresson Mine area. Each mine area is shown on Drawing C-4a. <br />Surface mining will continue to use conventional mining excavation methods as presently being conducted at the Cresson Project. Overburden and ore will be mined using conventional production blasting, loaded into haul trucks with hydraulic shovels or front-end loaders, and hauled to the appropriate location. The mine areas will be developed by constructing a series of benches. The height and the width of the benches will vary depending on the local geology, stability of the wall material, and mining needs. <br />Table D-5 presents the anticipated equipment list for surface mining activities.
