4 | P a g e A fuel barrel and containment are located near the generator shed and will remain. Continued maintenance will be performed to check and ensure there is no standing water or possible spill opportunities regarding the containment and fuel barrel throughout the year. This area also includes Pond 3 to the east of Area 4. This pond has not experienced any development or construction for years resulting in well-established and diverse vegetation. Although the pond has slopes greater than 3:1, the banks are stable and impacts to this pond would create unnecessary disturbance. In addition, this pond is utilized for the overall stormwater management for the area and should remain as-is. The dam on Pond 3 is armored with concrete and rip rap that will remain as it protects the dam and functionality of the pond. Pond 3 has a short access road that will remain for the purpose of road maintenance and filling water trucks. Although there are other sources to fill water trucks, this is a convenient location that is highly accessible. Therefore, leaving the area open for water access is the preferred option. There is a total of approximately 0.02 acres of revegetation to be completed via hand broadcast seeding method in this area. The post-mine land use for this area will be Industrial/Rangeland. The existing buildings that remain will be used as storage for QB Energy which falls under the industrial use. The remaining portion of Area 4 will be left as rangeland for wildlife. Area 5: The southern delineated portion of area 5 consists of 4 buildings, 3 larger buildings and one smaller building. The smaller building is for a generator and the larger buildings are currently used as road maintenance storage of equipment, mechanical projects, tools, and materials. All buildings will remain, and each building is labelled in Exhibit F for area 5. See Existing Building Summary below for all information regarding buildings within the permit boundary. No reclamation activities to be completed in the southern portion of Area 5. The northern delineated portion of area 5 is a pullout with a large water storage tank that will has been removed from the area. The tank was a 17 -foot-tall tank with a diameter of 11-feet and was recycled at Pacific steel in Grand Junction, Colorado. There are also three jersey barriers that will be removed and repurposed for oil and gas operations. The pullout portion of this area will remain as this provides additional space for maneuvering trucks and trailers as well as a turnaround location for equipme nt while completing routine road maintenance. This pullout will be delineated with rocks or boulders to deter vehicles from entering non-designated vehicular areas. The rock delineation is 188-feet long and the rocks or boulders should create at minimum a 1’Wx1’T separation. The remaining portion of this area is located at the bottom of a rock scree, this area is a suitable location to collect any rock falls or sluffing before entering the creek. The area will be graded in a manner to maintain positive drainage toward the creek but keep the bench configuration. The total amount of grading completed in this area is 892 CY. Once grading is complete, the area will remain as-is due to the adjacency of the rock scree. Efforts towards seeding this area will likely fail due to rocks
