Construction Material Special 111 Operation Reclamation Exhibits Raindance Reservoir#2 —VIMA Partners, LLC Exhibit C — Mining Plan (a) specify the estimated dates that mining will commence and end. If the operation is intended to be an intermittent operation as defined in C.R.S 34-32.5-103(11)(b), the Applicant should include in this exhibit a statement that conforms to the provisions of Section 34-32.5-103(11)(b), C.R.S.; The excavation operation for the 30-acres covered by this permit is anticipated to begin April 2021 and is anticipated to be completed by the beginning of April 2023. A separate 112 Reclamation Operation Permit is being submitted for the remainder of the mining operation for reservoir construction. (b) the estimated depth to which soil, suitable as a plant growth medium, will be salvaged for use in the reclamation process. This description must be consistent with information provided in Exhibit B. Sufficient soil must be salvaged to meet the vegetation establishment criteria of Rule 3.1.10. If plant growth medium is not reapplied on a graded area immediately after salvage, then the Operator/Applicant must specify how the topsoil will be stockpiled and stabilized with a vegetative cover or other means until used in reclamation. Plant growth medium stockpiles must be located separate from other stockpiles, out of the way of mine traffic and out of stream channels or drainage ways. The location of plant growth medium stockpiles must be shown on Exhibit E - Map; Prior to any construction activity the existing depth of topsoil on site ranged anywhere for 0-inches to 7-inches. However, the majority of topsoil for this project has already been stripped and hauled offsite with the construction of the detention pond for the subdivision to the north. The majority of the 30-acres covered under will ultimately be filled with raw water and will not need to be revegetated. Only the side slopes above the high water mark will be revegetated as part of the reclamation process which will be approximately 4 acres. Approximately 4" of new topsoil will be brought in from offsite sources to re- establish vegetation as needed, assuming the existing soil isn't suitable for native plant growth. Reclamation for the remainder of the reservoir project not covered under this permit will be addressed with the Regular (112) Operation Permit. (c) specify the thickness of overburden or quantity of waste rock, if any, to be removed to reach the deposit. The location of any overburden stockpiles or waste rock fills must be shown on Exhibit E - Map; The purpose of the project is to create a reservoir. All material is to be removed.
