With the approval of PR-01,the Division approved the retention of the facility pads <br /> in their current operational configuration. This is consistent with the post-mining <br /> land use "Industrial or Commercial", and requires minimal backfilling and grading <br /> (4.14.3(I)(a)). <br /> XL Revegetation <br /> A. Pre-disturbance vegetation conditions are described on page 2.04-14. The <br /> revegetation plan that was approved prior to PR-OI has been retained for reference <br /> and is presented on pages 2.05-10 through 2.05-14 of the PAP. <br /> The pre-disturbance vegetation in the permit area and vegetation existing adjacent <br /> to the permit area is predominantly irrigated agricultural crops, including fruit <br /> orchards with an understory of pasture grasses and irrigated pasture land. <br /> Per the revegetation plan approved prior to the approval of PR-01, upon final <br /> grading and topsoil replacement, the disturbed area would be reseeded with <br /> adapted grasses and forbs to achieve a post-mine land use of irrigated cropland. <br /> Page 2.05.12R in the PAP details the seed mix that was to be used. Due to the <br /> permit area for the Terror Creek Loadout being less than 40 acres in size (13.6 <br /> acres total), the revegetation success standard is based on data collected in 1983 <br /> and 1984 from an area immediately west of the Loadout. This area is shown on <br /> Map 4 of the PAP, entitled Pre and Post Disturbance Land Use. The Division <br /> determined that the area of data collection is topographically and edaphically <br /> comparable to the disturbed area. Data submitted had been used by the Division to <br /> set a revegetation success standard for production in the reclaimed area at 2,700 <br /> lbs/acre (4.15.7(2)(d)(vi)). <br /> With the approval of PR-O I the post-mining land use for the entire permit area was <br /> changed to "Industrial or Commercial". As such, the ground cover of living plants <br /> shall not be less than required to control erosion (4.15.10(2)) <br /> XII. Post-mining Land Use <br /> A. The Division is proposing to approve a post-mining land use of"Industrial or <br /> Commercial". The land use meets the criteria of Rule 4.16.3. <br /> XIII. Protection of Fish, Wildlife and Related Environmental Values <br /> A. The applicant has proposed the use of persistent pesticides to the site during <br /> operation and reclamation activities at the site. A weed management plan is in <br /> place to address noxious weeds, particularly white top, that appear at the Terror <br /> Creek Loadout. The operator will maintain records of herbicide use on the <br /> property for inspection by Division personnel. <br /> 18 <br />
