management practices will be used to keep all storm water on the site and within the mine <br /> boundary. <br /> e) All backfilling and grading shall be completed as soon as possible after the mining process. <br /> 8) Reclamation Items <br /> a) No woody vegetation is present within affected areas. <br /> b) No organic materials will be used for backfilling material. <br /> c) No inert material will be backfilled outside the affected permitted area. <br /> d) No highwalls will be left on site.Temporary highwalls may be used during the mining operations. <br /> All temporary mining highwalls will be inspected daily and maintained in a stable condition. <br /> e) No toxic or acid-forming materials will be used in material processing or as backfill material.This <br /> will prevent leaching of acids into the ground water. If any unknown refuse,acid-forming or <br /> toxic producing materials are inadvertently mined,they shall be managed and disposed of in a <br /> manner that will control unsightliness and protect the drainage system from pollution. <br /> f) No building or structures are to be left on-site or constructed as part of the reclamation plan. <br /> g) No earthen dams will need to be constructed. <br /> h) No drill or auger holes will remain as part of this mining operation. <br /> i) No solid waste will be accepted at this site. <br /> j) Topsoil stockpiles are in locations and configurations to minimize their erosion and disturbance. <br /> Topsoil will be replaced and graded to mimic pre-mining elevations. <br /> j) All refuse will be disposed of to protect the South Platte River drainage system. <br /> WATER <br /> 1) Water-ASCI will minimize disturbances to the prevailing hydrologic balance and water quality of <br /> systems(surface and groundwater)both during and after mining and reclamation phases. <br /> a) ASCI will follow applicable Colorado water laws and regulations and will not injure any existing <br /> water rights. <br /> b) ASCI will follow and keep water quality standards of the Water Quality Control Commission <br /> (WQCC). <br /> c) No unauthorized release of pollutants to groundwater will occur from materials mined, handled, <br /> or used as inert backfill. <br /> d) All surface areas and temporary stockpiles piles will be stabilized to effectively control erosion <br /> using proper erosion best management practices. <br /> e) All mined material not suitable for sale or off-site use such as wash plant and crusher fines will <br /> be disposed of in the inert backfill to prevent any release to the surface drainage system. <br /> TOPSOILING <br /> 1) During mining the topsoil will be removed, segregated,and stabilized with a vegetative cover away <br /> from other material stockpiles. <br /> a) The vegetative cover shall be used to protect the topsoil from erosion and to assure that it is in <br /> usable condition for reclamation. <br /> b) Every effort will be made to conserve workable topsoil. <br /> 2) Topsoil stockpiles shall be stored in configurations to minimize erosion and found in areas where <br /> disturbance is minimized by ongoing mining operations.Such stockpile areas are in the affected <br /> mining area. <br /> 3) Once stockpiled,the topsoil shall be rehandled as little as possible until replacement on the <br /> reclaimed mine surface. <br /> H:\Pits HBP Plants\EVANS\Stiles Mining Resource\Exh E Reclamation\Exhibit E Reclamation Plan.docx <br />
