that concentrated drainage that could result in scour does not occur. A collection/filter berm will <br /> be constructed along the very east and south corner of the permit area to treat any water that <br /> reports there. This berm will be constructed to intercept and reduce overland flow velocities and <br /> allow water to slowly weep through the berm as treatment for sedimentation. No water will be <br /> held for more than 72 hours. <br /> (c) Reve¢etation Measures to Reclaim the Site <br /> Applicant has consulted with Tony Waldron, former supervisor of the DRMS Minerals Program <br /> regarding recommendations and specifications for reseeding disturbed ground. <br /> (i) Since very little topsoil/growth medium was salvaged, reclamation will be very <br /> challenging on this site. Any topsoil previously removed has been placed in two small <br /> stockpiles along the northeast side of the permit area. This will be replaced as plant <br /> growth medium once all grading has been completed. Prior to placement of this growth <br /> medium, waste fines from product processing will be used as a sub-base over as much of <br /> the extraction area as possible. It is anticipated that 3-6 inches of this material will be <br /> placed over the extraction area. Applicant then expects approximately 4 inches of topsoil <br /> will be available for placement, as practicable. All topsoil will be evenly distributed over <br /> the areas from which it was removed in thicknesses equal to the original topsoil depths <br /> found at the site. No replacement topsoil is planned to be imported for reclamation. On <br /> areas that are currently being used for stockpile locations reclamation will proceed as <br /> follows: The product stockpiles will be removed down to historic grade elevations. As <br /> topsoil was not salvaged from these areas,they will then be shallow ripped to relieve any <br /> compaction. If there is any topsoil or growth medium available, it will be replaced as <br /> evenly as possible across the area. This area will then be prepared for seeding as <br /> described below. <br /> _ _ r (ii).The site will be seeded upon completion—of the permitted-mining activities.- . <br /> The seedbed will be prepared to eliminate compacted conditions by discing or shallow <br /> ripping followed by harrowing to level and firm up seed bed. Seeding will occur utilizing <br /> a grass seed drill or by broadcasting. If broadcasting is utilized, the seed rate will be <br /> doubled and the seed will be incorporated by harrowing following seed application. Soil <br /> amendments will only be utilized if testing indicates deficiencies but it is anticipated that <br /> none will be necessary given the short amount of time the topsoil will be stored. If <br /> deemed necessary based upon soil tests,the type, application rate, and soil incorporation <br /> methods of fertilizer application shall be as recommended by the CSU Soil Testing <br /> Laboratory. <br /> (iii) Trees are not present on the site.
