• <br /> SSR <br /> MINING <br /> Growth medium already stored will allow placement of a minimum of six inches of growth medium <br /> on the Dump 1. The soil may be sampled to assess the requirements for soil amendments. <br /> Vegetation will be established in accordance with the procedures outlined above in Section 2.4 <br /> As approved in previous applications, it is anticipated that some slopes may be plated with coarse <br /> rock for stormwater runoff protection, to emulate or mimic the rock piles from historic underground <br /> mine workings, and to provide wildlife habitat. Prior to final reclamation, CC&V will submit an <br /> updated reclamation plan showing locations where rock plating will occur. These plated areas <br /> would not be revegetated because the coarse rock prevents erosion. Drainage channels or <br /> benches developed on the OSAs will be candidates for similar plating with rock and select slopes <br /> may be suitably plated with the overburden as a backdrop for other compatible uses. <br /> The stability of the reclaimed Dump 1 was addressed in Amendment 10. Updates to the stability <br /> of the reclaimed slopes, based on the VLF2 Phase 4 modifications are presented in the VLF <br /> Expansion Detailed Design Report, provided in Appendix 1. The final reclaimed surface of the <br /> • Dump 1 will be graded to conform to the stormwater runoff patterns shown on the drawings in <br /> Exhibit F. <br /> ECOSA <br /> ECOSA is located along the southern (north- and east-facing) slopes of Grassy Valley with the <br /> vast portions of the OSA lying within the volcanic diatreme. The maximum constructed height of <br /> ECOSA will be 10,960 ft amsl, as approved in Amendment 11. Out slopes will be graded to <br /> approximately 2.5H:1V with drainage channels established at the back of each bench graded to <br /> drain water away from the ECOSA. A minimum of six inches of growth medium will be used to <br /> cover the graded overburden with a typical depth of growth medium ranging from six to twelve <br /> inches. The soil may be sampled to determine the need for additional soil amendments. <br /> Vegetation will be established according to the procedures presented in Section 2.4. <br /> The stability of the reclaimed ECOSA was addressed in Amendment 11 and is discussed <br /> generally in Section 2.1 above. The previous analysis indicates that the reclaimed area of ECOSA <br /> will be stable over the long term. <br /> The final reclaimed surface of the ECOSA will be graded to conform to the runoff patterns shown <br /> on the drawings in Exhibit F. <br /> • Cripple Creek&Victor Gold Mining Company Exhibit E <br /> Cresson Project Amendment 14 <br /> 11 <br />
