5) Waste rock and Soil Storage areas will be reclaimed, as well as the Support Area. <br /> These will be leveled and terraced as needed. <br /> 6) During Final reclamation, we will wait until fall to the last mulching and overseeding <br /> with the remaining certified weed-free straw bales. This will be raked in and <br /> additional straw bales will be brought in if needed. <br /> 7) Trails—At the present time, the BLM does not want us to reclaim the upper access <br /> historic road /trail that leads from BLM-297 to the permit boundary. <br /> 8) Monitor—We will be happy to provide photo and/or written reports on the status of <br /> the reclamation on whatever frequency the DRMS deems necessary. <br /> Ridgetop Project Area Current Stats: <br /> Waste Rock=98 cubic yards <br /> Topsoil in Storage=205 cubic yards <br /> Anticipated Ridgetop Stats: <br /> Waste Rock=225 cubic yards <br /> Waste Dirt(tailings)= 220 cubic yards <br /> Topsoil Storage= 205 cubic yards <br /> Final Slope Contour: 7H: 1V <br /> Connector Project Area: <br /> This section is an area that was hit hard by rockhounds in the past. Since we started the <br /> Ridgetop Project, we worked in conjunction with the BLM to assure that"no more dirt or rock <br /> went over the edge of the cliff'. I can honestly say that outside of sweeping the cliff edge to <br /> keep it safe, no dirt has gone over. But there are lots of remnants of the past mining and <br /> fo kk-houin�irg. It is very steep aiOd—amixtwrn of-dirt tuitif'gs rn,EliS-anti Lzrnnr h�AAnrr <br /> ., b , . 5 <br /> This is a steep project area, as it is 44 foot long and drops 29 feet(1.5H: 1V). By close <br /> examination of this area, there appears to be 12 feet of previous mine tailings sitting on the <br /> upper part of this section. If this can be moved to the west, I believe it will blend into the other <br /> previously disturbed area to the west. I know by moving the larger rocks would help the <br /> Connector Portal from becoming blocked in the future. By length and drop, this should contour <br /> to 2.4H : 1V. <br /> Additional information: The topography for this section is preexisting debris sitting on granite <br /> bedrock. The existing UNSTABLE contour is 1.5 H : 1 V. <br /> Our contour of 2.4 H : 1V is based on allowing some potential topsoil to remain on the slope. <br /> Based on photos and measurements, it is possible to achieve 2.6 H : 1V, but we will not know <br /> that less the debris is greater than 12 feet. <br /> There is a granite bedrock ledge that appears to go under than section, but there are 2 trees <br /> there that we would like to try and save! The only way to reach 3 H : 1 V would be to remove <br /> bedrock. <br />
