Permit# M-1989-084 Oak Creek Pit Technical Revision Narrative <br /> Mine Plan Modifications <br /> 1) Change in location of plantable media stockpile—mine operator proposes to relocate <br /> plantable media currently located at the mining disturbance limit to a location estimated <br /> to remain undisturbed until final placement. The plantable media stockpile will be <br /> located west of the current mining area near 38.29306 N, 105.29310 and will trend south <br /> over life of mine, (phase 1 plantable media berm) as shown on the revised mine plan <br /> and reclamation plan maps submitted with this TR application. As mining progresses <br /> westward in 2025, all suitable planting medium encountered (berms) will be placed in the <br /> proposed plantable media stockpile location in addition to plantable media from newly <br /> disturbed surface. Plantable media stockpile slopes will not exceed 3:1 (H:V). When <br /> mining has progressed to a point where the phase 1 plantable media will be used for <br /> reclamation, a second (phase 2 plantable media) berm will be established along the <br /> western border of the mine where it will be stabilized per plan. <br /> A mix of native grasses from the approved site seed mix will be planted to minimize <br /> erosion, to include western wheatgrass, Indian ricegrass, and grama grass. <br /> 2) Structures Located Within Permit Boundaries <br /> Located in the extreme NW corner of the permit area, — 1/8th acre area has been <br /> established as a post office box and waste collection location. A structures agreement <br /> with the local Home Owners Association is included with this application. <br /> The split rail fence along Access Road 6227 as well as barbed wire fence traversing the <br /> site N-S are owned by the landowner/mine operator. <br />
