mined in the same way as detailed in Phase 1. As the overlying Neogene Boulder gravel is <br /> mined, remnant gravel may be used as backfill. All gravel benches will be mined at a LOH:1.OV <br /> slope with final reclamation to a uniform 2.OH:1.OV slope consistent with bedrock mining final <br /> reclamation slopes. Features (e.g. rock outcrops) will be left on each mined bench as part of <br /> reclamation to create a `natural' rough surface (Figure 2). Additionally, sporadically placed 25- <br /> foot `bench height' intentional roughened faces, slopes and/or cliff bands will provide additional <br /> desired habitat for local ungulates that desire such cliff faces for protection from the elements <br /> and from predators. Areas not left as features will be backfilled and reclaimed prior to <br /> completion of mining in the bench below the reclaimed bench (Figure 3). Backfill will include <br /> comingled crushed rock, boulders, and waste fines generated on site. <br /> Young Ranch Resource <br /> Lewicki&Associates <br /> December 2021 D-2 <br />
