<br />8 | P a g e <br /> <br /> <br />well vegetated and no work is necessary to be completed. The existing road that runs <br />through this area shall remain as-is for maintenance on the reservoir and dam. <br /> <br />The southern portion of 7 includes what is called the Mine Bench Pond. This pond was <br />formed and incorporated a standpipe as an outlet which is made of 6.0’ steel pipe. This <br />is used as a stormwater management tool for the area within the mine and a mitigation <br />control for Middle Fork Reservoir. This pipe is functioning well in its current condition <br />with no reason for concern but it is reaching the end of its life expectancy. Therefore, a <br />new proposed drain will be installed from the Mine Bench Pond to the existing Outlet <br />Structure below area 7. See sheet C15 of Exhibit E for a plan and profile of the new <br />pipe. The new pipe will consist of 2,518 feet of RCP pipe, 310 feet of CMP pipe, and 5 - <br />120” Manholes to help with grade differentials and keeping the pipe to a minimum <br />cover. The manholes will also provide ease of opportunity for routine inspections to <br />analyze the pipe characteristics and ensure the system is safe and operable. There is a <br />small portion of concrete replacement that will be required in this area from the pond to <br />the top of the bank where the road is located. This results in approximately 22 CY <br />concrete poured at 6” thick. The concrete shall be replaced after the new pipe is <br />installed. The existing standpipe in the Mine Bench Pond shall be cutoff 4.0’ below <br />existing ground level and capped with 2-feet of concrete and backfilled to existing <br />grade. This results in approximately 2.75 CY of concrete and 19 CY of material to be <br />dug in preparation. The remaining portion of the pond shall remain as-is for a sediment <br />trap which is consistent with the stormwater Management Plan. <br /> <br />The post-mine land use for this area will be Rangeland. This use was chosen due to the <br />consistency with adjacent land use and location not nearing current oil and gas <br />operations. <br /> <br />Area 8B: <br /> <br />This area has two existing concrete foundations, both of which the buildings were <br />removed. The first pad is 62’x42’ at 8” thick with a thickened footer of 2’x2’ resulting in <br />86 cubic yards of concrete to be broken apart. The second pad is a monolithic slab that <br />is 30’x25’ at 8” thick resulting in 19 cubic yards of concrete to be broken apart. Bo th <br />pads are assumed to be steel reinforced. Once pads are broken apart, all concrete shall <br />be buried with a minimum of 3-feet of cover over the concrete. Once foundations are <br />backfilled, grading will be completed to maintain a level pad/surface. This area will then <br />be used as an agricultural stockyard where temporary corral panels will be placed and <br />utilized for moving cattle up and down the mountain. <br /> <br />There is also a weather station, and solar panels located on the southern portion of this <br />area. Both the weather station and the solar panels are mounted on skids; the solar <br />panels have been removed and disposed of while the weather station has been <br />removed and repurposed for oil and gas operations. <br /> <br />The existing road that was used to access the weather station and solar panels will <br />remain as-is for agricultural and guiding purposes. Along the edge of the existing pad <br />where the foundations are located, there was a berm with steeper slopes that need to <br />be pulled back, contoured, and seeded. This includes approximately 400 CY of material
