Loveland Ready-Mix, Concrete, Inc. 13 September 2021 <br />updated_exhibits_e.docx <br /> <br />disturbed area and the area will be seeded. The topsoil will be placed in a manner that <br />controls erosion and siltation of the affected lands and areas outside the affected areas. The <br />disturbed areas will be finished to a grade of 3H:1V that is suitable for revegetation. <br />Service roads and the bridge crossing will remain in place so that rangeland maintenance <br />equipment can access the site. Any areas that have been previously reclaimed that are not <br />revegetating properly will be addressed and reseeded. <br />7.2 Post-Mining Land Use Comparison <br />The historic land use in the vicinity of the Dunn Pit is agricultural, rural residential, <br />recreational golf course, and oil and gas production. The pre-mining use of the affective <br />lands is wildlife habitat. The post-mining land use of wildlife habitat, groundwater sourced <br />ponds, and mitigated wetlands and open space will be compatible with the area. <br />7.3 Reclamation Plan Implementation <br />Section 7.3 provides the information required of Sub-section 6.4.5(2)(c) in the Rules and <br />Regulations. <br />Mining of the Dunn Pit is proposed to be performed in three Cells ranging from 11 to 36 <br />acres. During the mining of each proposed Cell, reclamation will commence concurrently <br />following behind mining. All reclamation will be carried to completion with all reasonable <br />diligence and each phase of reclamation with a goal to complete within five years from the <br />date that each cell has been completed. As stated in this application, the mined areas are <br />to be reclaimed to provide wildlife habitat, groundwater sourced ponds, or natural open <br />space. <br />7.3.1 Reclamation Measures – Materials Handling <br />1. Final grading will be no steeper than 3H:1V from five feet above to ten feet <br />below the average water surface, while maximum slopes of 2H:1V will be <br />established elsewhere around the reclaimed ponds. These reclaimed slopes <br />will create final topography appropriate for natural open space or wildlife <br />habitat. <br />2. No toxic or acid-forming materials are expected at this site <br />3. All grading will be done to control erosion and siltation of affected and non-
