• <br /> • <br /> SSR <br /> MINING <br /> rinsed and capped as described in the approved reclamation and closure plans in Amendments <br /> 9, 10, 11, and 13. Based upon the current ore loading scheme, the ore will be stacked in 100 foot <br /> (') high lifts, graded to have side slopes of 2H:1V, and 100' benches to meet the 2.5H:1V <br /> maximum closure slope. At closure, the facility will be capped with topsoil and revegetated. <br /> Stormwater will be controlled in perimeter stormwater channels, bench channels, and drain down <br /> channels. Additionally, as approved with the other VLFs within the diatreme limits, vertical drill <br /> shafts will be extended through the composite liner surface within the VLF1 Phase 6's Pregnant <br /> Solution Storage Area (PSSA) to promote flows into the diatreme zone. This will allow water that <br /> has percolated into the collection system to dissipate into the diatreme without accumulating in <br /> the PSSA. A closure study is currently being completed which will assess alternative options as <br /> closure scenarios. Once the preferred final closure option has been selected, it will be described <br /> and provided in future amendments. <br /> 2.7 Reclamation of the Mine Areas <br /> Reclamation of the mining areas that are not backfilled will involve redistributing growth medium <br /> • to accessible locations at the base of mine areas to a depth of at least six inches depending on <br /> soil availability. Areas receiving growth medium will receive the full complements of revegetation <br /> activities (i.e., fertilizer, seeding, mulching, etc.), as appropriate. <br /> Upon completion of mining and associated reclamation activities, an eight-foot-high post mining <br /> fence will be installed around the external crest of those portions of the remaining highwalls that <br /> are not backfilled or reduced. Where practicable, portions of the current perimeter fence will be <br /> left in place and the eight-foot-high fence will be tied into these existing sections. Fences will be <br /> placed to control access to the crest and toe of highwall benches. Signs will be placed along the <br /> fencing to warn the general public of the hazard of the highwall after reclamation, as appropriate. <br /> Wildlife ingress and egress will be provided along the final reclaimed haul road routes. Remaining <br /> highwall benches will act to catch rocks, and will, over time, become at least partially covered with <br /> rock falls from above and will form talus slopes for wildlife habitat. As a result, no revegetation of <br /> highwall benches is planned. <br /> • Cripple Creek&Victor Gold Mining Company Exhibit E <br /> Cresson Project Amendment 14 <br /> 5 <br />
