9. Monitoring Reclamation Success on an ongoing basis will allow minor revisions <br /> to assure efficient and successful reclamation.The Operator plans to use the local <br /> NRCS office to assist in determining the ability of the reclaimed land to control <br /> erosion. If minor changes or modifications are needed to the seeding and <br /> reclamation plan, revision plans will be submitted to the Division, as required. It is <br /> hoped that the Division will provide assistance in evaluating the success of ongoing <br /> reclamation processes. All areas disturbed and reclaimed and any other important <br /> items regarding reclamation will be submitted in the required annual reports to the <br /> Division. <br /> 10. Reclamation Bond activities duringthe worst-case scenario include highwall <br /> knock-down and grading the active mining area,topsoiling and seedingthe active <br /> working areas(mining and processing), and seeding the tailings pond once the area <br /> is completely dried out. At the landowner's request, the gravel stockpiling area and <br /> site roads will remain un-reclaimed. Highwall knock-down will occurto a maximum <br /> 15-foot depth over 100 feet of highwall in the active mining area and will result in <br /> —1,250 CY of material movement and grading.—670 CY of topsoil applied at a 2-inch <br /> depth will be laid across the maximum 2.5 acres of reclaimable disturbed area. <br /> Reclaimable disturbed area includes open mining areas, the processing area, and <br /> tailings pond. Fertilizer and weed-free mulch may be applied, as needed. The bond <br /> forthe sitewill be based upon $2,500 peracre.As the sitewill have two acres open <br /> to mining plus an additional0.5 acres of processing and tailings area, the site will <br /> 5 <br />
