reclaimed on upper benches and will not provide a hazard following final bench grading to <br /> planted reclamation slopes of 2.01-1:1.0V as detailed in Figure 3. When sporadic cliff bands are <br /> used in reclamation, extensive scaling will be conducted to ensure that final `cliffs' do not pose <br /> an overhead hazard. <br /> As proposed, rock fall hazard to those operating outside the active areas of the mine is <br /> extremely limited and covered during blasting procedure discussed in Exhibit D and Appendix 3 <br /> of this application. <br /> Exhibit E— Reclamation Plan (Rule 6.4.5): <br /> 33. The application proposes more than one reclamation plan for the site, including leaving <br /> two dry revegetated pits (shown in Figure F-1), leaving one dry revegetated pit and one <br /> reservoir(not shown on any figures), and leaving two reservoirs (shown on Figure F-2). <br /> On page E-1, the application states the "final post-mine land use will be determined <br /> following consultation with Central City". Please commit to one reclamation plan at this <br /> time (ensuring this plan is consistent with the post-mining land use proposed in this <br /> application). The reclamation plan and/or post-mining land use can be revised later <br /> through the appropriate permit revision. If the applicant chooses to commit to the <br /> reservoir plan, the Division will have additional questions related to slope grading, filling <br /> of the reservoirs, water rights, stability analyses, wildlife and public safety, reservoir <br /> access, and how this proposed use compares with other land uses in the vicinity, etc. <br /> Please see the revised Exhibit E narrative and figures as well as the revised Exhibit F maps for <br /> further details on the sitewide reclamation plans. Additionally, refer to the Applicant's response <br /> to question V. <br /> 34. Please confirm the applicant is proposing to be bonded only for mine phase 1 <br /> disturbance at this time. Additionally, please provide a description of the size and <br /> location of each area requiring reclamation under this scenario, including: <br /> a. The approximate maximum length of quarry walls requiring grading/backfilling at <br /> any given time. <br /> b. The approximate maximum acreage of quarry disturbance requiring retopsoiling <br /> and/or revegetation at any given time. <br /> c. The approximate maximum acreage of compacted areas (e.g., pit floor, roads, <br /> temporary stockpile and/or equipment storage areas) requiring ripping at any <br /> given time. <br /> d. The approximate maximum length of waste rock landform slopes requiring <br /> grading/backfilling at any given time. <br /> e. The approximate maximum acreage of waste rock landform disturbance requiring <br /> retopsoiling and/or revegetation at any given time. <br /> f. A description of any structures/features requiring removal and disposal for <br /> reclamation, including their approximate dimensions and the anticipated disposal <br /> location(s). <br /> This application includes a phase 1 bond calculation; prior to opening subsequent phases, a <br /> Technical Revision will be submitted to the Division with additional bond calculations, as <br /> needed. Exhibit L has been updated to reflect the required sizes and locations. <br /> December 2021 11 M Lewicki 81 Associates <br />
