anticipated to leave the site, a CDPHE Storm Water Discharge permit is not required. <br /> 4. Topsoil and Overburden Handling <br /> Topsoil will be salvaged from the mined,processing, and stockpile areas and placed in <br /> temporary perimeter berms surrounding the disturbed area. Piles are shown at the perimeter of <br /> the permit boundary on the Mining Map. Topsoil stockpiles will be created by stripping the <br /> southwestern processing area first and continue northward as the operation progresses. Topsoil <br /> is expected to be approximately 0-3 inches with virtually no overburden. The topsoil and all <br /> overburden and waste material will be used during reclamation,will be constructed to 3H:1 V <br /> slopes or shallower, and will be seeded within 180 days with native rangeland grasses. Topsoil <br /> and overburden will be segregated during the mining operation. <br /> 5. Schedule of Operations <br /> Mining, screening, and processing will be conducted with portable equipment between April and <br /> October 2023. Mining operations will be dictated by the project schedule. Mining may take <br /> place 6 days per week for the duration of the reconstruction project. The product will be hauled <br /> to the construction area nearly as fast as it is produced. <br /> 6. Kiowa County Impacts and Environmental Impacts <br /> The impacts to Kiowa County will be limited.No dust is expected from the operation as the pit <br /> and roads are watered as needed. If airborne dust is observable, immediate action to mitigate dust <br /> will be taken by roadway wetting. Water used is purchased and brought on site and applied on an <br /> as-needed basis to control dust on haul roads and within the mine area. No county roads will be <br /> used to access the site or the job. <br /> EXHIBIT D RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> 1. General Reclamation Plan <br /> The maximum disturbed area to be reclaimed under this permit 9.9 acres. Reclamation plans <br /> can be viewed on the Reclamation Map. Post-mining land use will return the entire disturbed <br /> site back to dry rangeland with native grasses on all slopes and is consistent with existing land <br /> use in the area. All areas of the site, including the mine area, stockpile area and interior haul <br /> roads will be reclaimed to 3H:1 V or shallower. No interior haul roads will remain following <br />
