Oversize tailings will be stockpiled for use by the landowner at their request or utilized as <br /> backfill for existing and future pits throughout the site. The undersize fraction flows across <br /> the sluices and is deposited in an alluvialfan which forms along the receiving edge of the <br /> settling pond.The processing plantwill be located at a higher elevation relative to the <br /> remainder of the operation to allow for good depositional flow into a previously excavated <br /> pit without significant rehandling, see Map E-2. As portions of the site area tready mined, <br /> very tittle overburden and topsoil will be recovered from these areas. However, <br /> undisturbed mining areas will have limited topsoil and overburden.Any topsoil, <br /> overburden, and separated waste fines from the unmined areas will be used during phased <br /> reclamation as mining progresses through the site, see Map E-3. Reclamation will occur <br /> concurrently with mining and is detailed in Exhibit D. In unmined areas, topsoil from 0 to 4 <br /> inches is salvageable and will be redistributed in alreadygraded previously mined areas. <br /> The expected average depth of topsoil is less than 4" based on existing cuts in the permit <br /> area. If stockpiling of overburden and topsoil becomes necessary to prevent erosion of <br /> topsoil and overburden stockpiles, piles will be seeded within 180 days of establishment <br /> with the rangeland seed mix or quick oats. Stockpiles wilt be constructed to 2.51-1:1 V <br /> slopes fortopsoil and overburden and will be located in the northwest portion of the site. <br /> Aggregate material from any step may be separated and stockpiled for the landowners use <br /> attheir request. See the enclosed affidavit, following Exhibit C, signed by the landowner <br /> ensuring excavated gravel shall remain stockpiled on the site after mining. Excess gravel <br /> may be used as backfill in previously mined areas prior to reclamation. No explosives will <br /> 3 <br />
