• <br /> SSR <br /> MINING <br /> 1 INTRODUCTION <br /> The objectives, criteria, and procedures of the reclamation plan and closure for the Cresson <br /> Project operated by the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company (CC&V) have been <br /> previously approved through Amendment 9, Amendment 10, Amendment 11, and Amendment <br /> 13 review processes. Procedures proposed as part of Amendment 14 build upon those previously <br /> approved practices, as discussed below. <br /> 1.1 Objectives <br /> The objectives of the reclamation plan are to stabilize disturbed areas and re-establish the pre- <br /> mining land uses of wildlife habitat and livestock grazing (rangeland). These objectives will be <br /> achieved through the implementation of the reclamation and closure practices described in this <br /> Exhibit and the appropriate use of other technologies that may become available. <br /> Upon completion of reclamation and closure, the majority of affected lands will be returned to <br /> • rangeland and wildlife habitat. Historic resources will be preserved to the extent practicable and <br /> made accessible to the public,where feasible and safe. Interpretative guidance(i.e., informational <br /> signs) on both the historic and recent operations will be developed, where feasible. <br /> 1.2 Summary of Amendment 14 Impacts to Reclamation <br /> There are no significant changes to the overall reclamation plan proposed under this Amendment <br /> 14.Amendment 14 incorporates minor changes to the interim and final grading plans for the Dump <br /> 1 (formerly SGOSA). <br /> 2 RECLAMATION PROCEDURES <br /> In general, the reclamation proposed as part of this Amendment 14 will not change over what was <br /> presented as part of Amendment 13 and previous submittals. Concurrent reclamation activities <br /> will occur, where feasible. After mining is completed, final reclamation activities for mine areas <br /> and OSAs will occur over an approximate seven-year period. Seeding of grasses and planting of <br /> trees and shrubs will occur primarily in the late spring/early summer and/or during the late fall/early <br /> winter periods. Stormwater will be managed during interim conditions and through reclamation <br /> construction activities according to the site Stormwater Management Plan, which is provided in <br /> Appendix 3. <br /> • Cripple Creek&Victor Gold Mining Company Exhibit E <br /> Cresson Project Amendment 14 <br /> 1 <br />
