What little topsoil that was salvaged from the site will be replaced on all 3H:1V slopes and the <br /> pit bottom. These areas will be reseeded as needed with a mixture of native grasses to conform <br /> with the condition of the site prior to the operation. Seeding will occur during the first favorable <br /> season following topsoil replacement. <br /> No timber is present on the permitted site. <br /> Applicant will take into account the safety and protection of wildlife on the site, at the processing <br /> site and along all access roads. <br /> The Existing Access Road will continue to be used by the landowner and other entities during <br /> and after the mining activities, and thus need not be reclaimed(see section 1(d)below). <br /> The majority of the reclamation will commence immediately upon final extraction of the <br /> materials and prior to permit expiration. <br /> The site will be monitored seasonally on a monthly basis to determine revegetation success and <br /> to evaluate the site stability, as necessary. All necessary steps will be taken to control soil erosion <br /> and repair damaged lands. If after one season the seeding looks to be a failure, reseeding will be <br /> done in accordance with this plan. <br /> Trash will be removed from the site. Vegetation cleared from the site will be properly disposed <br /> of or dispersed. <br /> (1) Details of the Reclamation Plan are as follows: <br /> (a) Overburden Replacement: <br /> ,_.. -It is anticipated that some crusher fines will-be generated during-crushing,,screening-and - <br /> processing of the mined rock. Soils and waste rock unsuitable for construction materials will be <br /> separated from the gravels and will be stockpiled at the site for use as a sub-base over the <br /> regraded slopes. These stockpiles may also be utilized for excavation and highwall backfill as <br /> site reclamation proceeds. <br /> (b) Reclaimed slope gradient: <br /> The extraction site currently exists as a roughly 1 H:1 V slope where disturbance has already <br /> occurred. During reclamation, and as required by Rule 3.1 5(1), Applicant will grade the site to <br /> conform with the natural gradient and contours of the slope and the surrounding area in order to <br /> ensure that the site complies with the intended post-reclamation use as rangeland. Applicant will <br /> mine and grade the site so as to leave the overall gradient at no more than a 3H:1 V on the side <br /> slopes. <br /> Applicant will follow stormwater management best practices published by state and local <br /> authorities. The Applicant anticipates that any stormwater will collect at the bottom of the <br /> extraction pit and be directed to the southeast corner of the site. Site grading will be developed so <br /> Burton Farms LLLP Page 2 of 5 <br /> Construction Materials Limited Impact(110(c))Operation Reclamation Permit Application Form <br />
