The first step, as in all reclamation activities, is the removal of all -surface structures and facilities. This will include the <br />electrical substation; chemical feed station, and borehole surface casing and enclosures. These structures and facilities <br />will be removed from the site and salvaged or scrapped. <br />Once the surface structures and facilities are removed from the site, the pumps will be pulled from the dewatering <br />boreholes and all piping will be removed from the ponds. The boreholes will be plugged and sealed, consistent with the <br />requirements of Rule 4.07, Sealing of Drill Holes and Underground Openings, and in compliance with applicable State <br />Engineer requirements. The ponds will be allowed to dry out, and then the pond embankments will be pushed in to <br />backfill the pond basins. Any excess embankment material will be used as supplemental backfill for other reclaimed <br />areas. The pad around the boreholes will be removed, and the pad material will be used to backfill the discharge ditch <br />to the Williams Fork River. <br />The access road leading to the site will be reclaimed. The top six inches of the road material will either be hauled to the <br />waste disposal site or used as road surface material on existing roads. All areas will then be rough graded to blend with <br />the surrounding terrain and provide for effective site drainage. <br />Stockpiled soil material will be redistributed to a depth of 6 to 12 inches over the entire reclaimed area. After <br />redistribution of the soil, the material will be analyzed to determine if any amendments are necessary. Reclaimed areas <br />will be seeded with a cover crop and then the pastureland seed mixture. A rangeland drill will be used for seeding, <br />however, in the event the seed mixture is broadcast seeded, the seeding rate will be doubled. Given the proximity of <br />the facilities to the Williams Fork River, it is possible that reclamation may affect a small area of the adjacent <br />streambank. In this area, P. Arundinacea will be added to the pastureland (hayland) seed mixture at a rate of one <br />pound/acre. <br />Wastewater Treatment Facility <br />The wastewater treatment facility treats the effluent coming from the bathhouses, laboratory, offices, and shop. When <br />these facilities are no longer needed, the treatment facility will be reclaimed. <br />The first step in the reclamation process will be to remove the surface structures. The surface structures include; fence, <br />blower building, control box for the lift station, and the control box for the flow meter. These facilities will either be <br />salvaged or scrapped. The next step will be to remove all airlines and associated materials from the ponds. All fill <br />material covering the pond liner, the liner itself, and the retaining walls will then be removed. Finally, the chlorinator, <br />manhole, all pumps, and the support structure will be removed and the area backfilled. The pond embankment material <br />will be used as backfill. Any excess embankment material will be used to supplement backfilling operations at the <br />portal areas. <br />The area will then be topsoiled. The topsoil will be redistributed to a depth of 6 inches over the area. Topsoil will be <br />analyzed after placement and prior to seeding, and the appropriate amendments, if any, will be applied to the soil. The <br />area will be seeded with a cover crop and then the cropland hayland seed mixture. <br />Fresh Water System <br />Once the fresh water system is no longer needed to support the mining operations, the associated disturbed areas will <br />be reclaimed. The overland water line will be disassembled and removed from the site. The pipe and all fittings will <br />be salvaged or scrapped. Minimal disturbance will result from the removal of the line and no need for seeding is <br />anticipated. The will remain as a permanent feature to benefit the postmining agriculture activities and aid in property <br />value. The storage tank will be removed prior to topsoil redistribution. The storage tank will either be salvaged or <br />scrapped. The area will then be, re-topsoiled, planted with a cover crop, and seeded with the hayland seed mixture. If <br />it is necessary to apply the seed by the broadcast method, the seeding rate will be doubled. <br />TR20-38 2.05-31.1 Revised 09/15/20 <br />
