RECLAMATION PLAN EXHIBIT E(CONT) <br /> RECLAMATION PERFORMANCE STANDARDS <br /> The operator intends to mine the property in compliance with <br /> the Reclamation Performance Standards of Rule 3 . Grading will be <br /> done to create a final topography that is compatible with the <br /> intended final land use. Most slope areas will be created by <br /> backfilling to the final slope rate. These slopes will be 3 : 1 <br /> and we will attempt to retain the present drainage pattern across <br /> the property. A sign that conforms to the requirements in Rule <br /> 3 . 1 . 12 (1996) is in place at the entrance to this facility. <br /> The material used to create the slopes will be native <br /> overburden material found on the site at this time. It will <br /> consist of reject sand, gravel, overburden and topsoil. The pit <br /> will be reclaimed so that a suitable grade for drainage exists . <br /> All surface runoff will be directed into the existing drainages <br /> around the site. <br /> All grading will be done in a manner to control erosion and <br /> to protect areas outside the affected lands from slides or other <br /> damage. All backfilling and grading will be completed as soon as <br /> feasible after mining is completed. All refuse will be hauled <br /> away or disposed of in a manner that will control unsightliness <br /> and protect the drainage system from pollution. There are no <br /> acid-forming or toxic materials involved in this operation. If <br /> petroleum products are stored at the site, it will be done as <br /> prescribed by applicable laws . Any storage tanks will be sur- <br /> rounded by a berm or be in self contained facilities adequate to <br /> retain any fluid spilled should a tank rupture. In addition, <br /> there is adequate absorbent materials on site to contain any <br /> spills that would occur outside the containment structure. There <br /> are no drill or auger holes on the land. Maximum slopes will be <br /> within the limits set forth in the Rules and Regulations of the <br /> Board and will be capable of being traversed by machinery. <br /> The operator does not expect prevailing hydrologic condi- <br /> tions to be disturbed. Walsenburg Sand and Gravel, CO. will <br /> comply with applicable Colorado water laws and regulations (as <br /> the operator understands them) governing injury to existing water <br /> rights to minimize any disturbance, which might occur to the <br /> prevailing hydrologic balance of the affected land and surround- <br /> ing area and to the quality and quantity of water in surface and <br /> ground-water systems both during and after the mining operation <br /> and during reclamation. The operator expects to comply with <br /> applicable Federal and Colorado water quality laws and regula- <br /> W5G- Hribar Pit Amendment December 2020 <br /> 18 <br />
