protected to the greatest possible extent. BMPs include schedules of activities, <br /> prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures and other management practices to <br /> prevent or reduce the pollution in runoff from the site. <br /> Section 3.1.7 Groundwater-Specific Requirements: The Operator will comply with the <br /> applicable standards and conditions for classified and unclassified groundwater. <br /> Groundwater will not be exposed or dewatered. <br /> Section 3.1.8 Wildlife: The mining and reclamation plans have been designed to account <br /> for the safety and protection of wildlife on the mine site. The Operator will use concurrent <br /> reclamation methods to minimize the impact on wildlife. The proposed reclamation plan <br /> may improve wildlife habitat. The proposed plantings will create improved cover,foraging, <br /> roosting, and nesting areas for wildlife. Control and/or removal of noxious and weedy <br /> species during the project and the replacement of desirable graminoid,forb, shrub and tree <br /> species during reclamation will result in enhancement of wildlife habitat on the project site. <br /> Section 3.1.9 Topsoiling: Three inches of topsoil will be removed and segregated from <br /> other spoil. The topsoil will be blended with manure and used for reclamation. Topsoil <br /> stockpiles shall be stored in places and configurations to minimize erosion and located in <br /> areas where disturbance by ongoing mining operations will be minimized. Once <br /> stockpiled, topsoil shall be rehandled as little as possible. Stockpiles that will remain in <br /> place for more than one growing season will receive vegetative cover, as outlined on the <br /> Reclamation Plan Map, as soon as possible to minimize erosion. <br /> Section 3.1.10 Revegetation: In those areas where revegetation is part of the <br /> reclamation plan, the land shall be revegetated in a manner that establishes a diverse, <br /> effective, and long-lasting vegetative cover. The proposed seed-mix or plantings for <br /> reclamation are outlined on the Reclamation Plan included in Exhibit F of this application. <br /> The quarter section of land has a sprinkler and irrigation water and this infrastructure will <br /> remain and be utilized for irrigation purposes. <br /> Section 3.1.11 Buildings and Structures: Please refer to the enclosed Reclamation Plan <br /> included in Exhibit F. <br /> Section 3.1.12 Signs and Markers: The Operator will post appropriate signage at the <br /> entrance to the mine site. The permit area will be marked by existing fencing, or proximity <br /> to existing County roads. <br /> (d) Plans for topsoil segregation,preservation and replacement;for stabilization, <br /> compaction and grading of spoil;and for revegetation. <br /> Topsoil will be removed and segregated from other spoils. Topsoil not needed for <br /> reclamation may be sold or removed from the site. For reclamation, topsoil will be <br /> replaced by a scraper and generally graded with a blade. Grading shall be done in a <br /> manner that controls erosion and siltation of the affected land and protects areas outside <br /> the affected land from damage. In addition, backfilling and grading shall be completed as <br /> soon as feasible after the mining process. <br /> David Hunt—Strear Dirt Mine—MLRB 112 Permit Amendment Application <br /> Exhibit E-3 <br />
