Topsoil will be removed and segregated from other soil. Please refer to the mining <br /> plan map, Exhibit C for general locations of stockpiles. For reclamation topsoil will <br /> be placed and graded by a scraper and blade. Grading shall be done in a manner <br /> that controls erosion and siltation of the affected land to protect areas outside the <br /> affected land from slides and other damage. In addition, backfilling and grading <br /> shall be completed as soon as feasible during and after the mining process. <br /> Final grading will create a final topography that is appropiate for the final land use <br /> which will be cropland. Topsoil will be uniformly placed and spread on areas <br /> disturbed by the mining.The minimum thickness shall be 6" above the surrounding <br /> finished grade. <br /> Reclamation of the site will be completed within two years after mining is <br /> complete or sooner if possible. <br /> The operator will monitor and control noxious weeds mechanically, by mowing <br /> and/or disking. If necessary, weeds will be treated with a contact herbicide by <br /> a person who is certified to purchase and handle the herbicides. <br /> WCR 138 which is the access road to the site is to remain in place post <br /> mining as per the agreement with Weld County and the property owner. <br /> The mine road from the end of WCR 138 and the scale and scale house site will be <br /> reclaimed in accordance with the rest of the area and the plan as shown on the <br /> Reclamation Plan Map. <br />
