Page 12 <br /> 5 Reclamation Plan <br /> Reclamation will be completed to the standards described in 43 CFR 3809.420. <br /> Within the Active Mining Area, all equipment and materials will be dismantled and removed from the <br /> site,to be disposed of at an authorized land fill or recycled. <br /> Access control of the grate/portal will be returned to the BLM/DRMS. <br /> There are no riparian areas that will be affected by the Project. There are no acid-forming,toxic, <br /> chemicals,or deleterious material associated with the Project. There are no temporary structures, <br /> buildings, or support facilities associated with the Siberia Project that will need be removed during <br /> reclamation. <br /> 5.1 Schedule of Reclamation <br /> Miners Mall will conduct reclamation of disturbed areas associated with the mining activities. <br /> Concurrent reclamation will be completed as feasible. Seeding for revegetation will occur in the spring <br /> immediately following completion of recontouring/earthwork. Monitoring of reseeded areas will occur <br /> in the spring and fall each year until the BLM and DRMS deem that vegetation has recovered sufficiently <br /> for the Project to be closed. Where it has been determined that revegetation success has not been met, <br /> the BLM and the operator will meet to decide on the best course(s)of action necessary to meet the <br /> reclamation goal. <br /> 5.2 Post Mining Land Use <br /> Reclamation activities will be designed to achieve post mining land uses consistent with the BLM's land <br /> use management plans for the area. Post-mining land use includes wildlife habitat, hunting and <br /> dispersed recreation. <br /> 5.3 Buildings,Structures and Equipment Removal <br /> No buildings or temporary structures will be built. All equipment,tools,and supplies will be removed <br /> following mining activities. Other materials, including scrap and trash will be removed daily and <br /> disposed of off-site in accordance with federal and state regulations and laws. <br /> 5.4 Post Closure Management <br /> The goal of Miners Mall is to return the Project Area to a natural,safe, maintenance-free condition. <br /> Annual vegetation surveys will be conducted with the BLM to monitor revegetation success and <br /> determine when the full reclamation has been achieved. <br />
