III <br /> M-2001-001 Line Camp Pit Amendment#2 (Expansion) <br /> c. Statement on explosive use and impact on off-site areas/features. No explosives to be used. <br /> d. Roads (6.3.3.(g)): Maintain access road to SH-145 and internal access roads to all ponds, areas <br /> being reclaimed, and for access to USFS lands to the east. See Exhibit E. Access off SH-145 <br /> intended to be permanent, post-reclamation feature) existing, during and after mining and <br /> reclamation: <br /> i. Dimensions: As done in 2003 (per county/CDOT specifications) <br /> ii. Improvements: None: maintenance only. <br /> iii. Specifications: Per Montezuma County road standards at time of reclamation, including <br /> emergency response access. <br /> iv. Exemptions to State requirements: None requested. <br /> v. Associated feature specifications (e.g., drainage structures): see Exhibit E. <br /> 6. General Notes: <br /> a. Soil/Plant growth medium (6.3.3.(b))tasks: A minimum of 4-5 inches of soil (A horizon) will be <br /> stripped and stockpiled in berms (see maps). Some may be moved directly to previously affected <br /> and graded areas for reapplication. <br /> b. Salvage an estimated 650 CY (in-place) soil from each acre. It is very likely that soils must be <br /> screened to remove larger stones, before stockpiling/reapplication, resulting in only 600 CY <br /> salvaged soil. Based on anticipated pond size, preserve approximately 40%for reclamation. <br /> c. Construct stockpiles/berms with swales or silt fencing at the exterior toe: <br /> i. Protect soil by compacting to not more than 70% modified Proctor density(using field <br /> estimation). <br /> ii. Seed immediately(for stabilization) after application of erosion control polymers (if any), <br /> usually within seven days of completion of a stockpile or section. Broadcast seeding rates <br /> (seed available from Southwest Seed, Cortez): <br /> Slender wheatgrass (var. Pryor) 8.25 lb/acre <br /> Sanfoin (var. Remont) 12.50 lb/acre <br /> Annual rye (nurse crop) 1.50 lb/acres <br /> d. Follow up, if desired, by watering to establish the stand, using irrigation from Home Ditch. <br /> e. Use standard agricultural weed control for the crop, coordinating with County Pest Control. <br /> 7. Overburden, waste rock, and deposit characteristics(6.3.3.(c) & (d)): Little overburden is <br /> anticipated. Excavate all rock and use as pitrun or product: screen fines and wash materials. Use <br /> fines not shipped from site as backfill and subgrade below soil for final slopes. <br /> 8. Components not already addressed (6.3.3.(e)): use standard 3-strand barbed wire or electrical <br /> fencing to keep livestock out of pit, if needed. Post warning signs on east side of property bounding <br /> National Forest System lands. Other than the scalehouse, install no temporary or permanent <br /> buildings, including no shop or maintenance buildings. Use trailers/containers if needed for <br /> minimum equipment maintenance. <br /> 9. Dimensions of disturbances (6.3.3.(f)): No buffer zone is planned within the permit boundaries. <br /> (Buffer zones exist between the permit boundary and the parcel boundaries. Berms along the west <br /> edge will be placed to protect the Home Ditch. <br /> 10. Water use (6.3.3.(h)): Control dust(traffic areas, crushing and screening) and wash product. Pitrun <br /> material is expected to be moist to wet when excavated and processed, and water consumption is <br /> estimated at 10 gallons per ton of production, about 1 acre-foot per year), including product <br /> ' Seed available from Southwest Seed, Cortez, CO. <br /> 5182-22-001 WASTE ELINE, INC.
