prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures and other management practices to <br /> prevent or reduce the pollution in runoff from the site. <br /> Section 3.1.7 Groundwater-Specific Requirements: <br /> The Operator will comply with the applicable standards and conditions for classified and <br /> unclassified groundwater. <br /> Section 3.1.8 Wildlife: <br /> The mining and reclamation plans have been designed to account for the safety and <br /> protection of wildlife on the mine site. The Operator will mine the site in phases and use <br /> concurrent reclamation methods to minimize the impact on wildlife. The proposed <br /> reclamation plan may improve wildlife habitat. The proposed seed mix and plantings will <br /> create improved cover,foraging, roosting, and nesting areas for wildlife. The water area <br /> within the reservoir will serve as habitat for waterfowl and other bird species and the <br /> fringes of the reservoir will be used by mammal, bird, reptile and amphibian species. <br /> Control and/or removal of noxious and weedy species during the project and the <br /> introduction of desirable graminoid,forb and potential woody species during reclamation <br /> will result in enhancement of wildlife habitat on the project site. <br /> Section 3.1.9 Topsoiling: <br /> Topsoil shall be removed and segregated from other spoil. Topsoil stockpiles shall be <br /> stored in places and configurations to minimize erosion and located in areas where <br /> disturbance by ongoing mining operations will be minimized. Once stockpiled, topsoil shall <br /> be re-handled as little as possible. Stockpiles that will remain in place for more than one <br /> growing season will receive vegetative cover. <br /> Section 3.1.10 Revegetation: <br /> In those areas where revegetation is part of the reclamation plan, the land shall be <br /> revegetated in a manner that establishes a diverse, effective, and long-lasting vegetative <br /> cover that is capable of self-regeneration without continued dependence on irrigation or <br /> fertilizer and is at least equal in extent of cover to the natural vegetation of the surrounding <br /> area. These areas are relatively minimal given the water development reclamation plan for <br /> the site. The proposed seed-mix and plantings for reclamation are outlined on the <br /> Reclamation Plan included in Exhibit F of this application. <br /> Section 3.1.11 Buildings and Structures: <br /> Please refer to the enclosed Reclamation Plan included in Exhibit F. <br /> Section 3.1.12 Signs and Markers: <br /> The Operator will post appropriate signage at the entrance to the mine site. The permit <br /> area will be marked by existing fencing, or proximity to existing County roads. <br /> Nix—Gravel Mine—MLRB 112 Permit Application <br /> Exhibit E-3 <br /> Page 17 of 126 <br />
