<br />Page 48 <br />Construction Materials Rule 3 <br />116(4)(x) (1) Grading shall be carried on so as to create a final topography <br />appropriate to the final land use selected in the Reclamation Plan. <br />tre(a)(~ (2) When backfilling is a part of the plan, the Operator shall <br />replace overfiurden and waste materials is the mined area and shaft ensure <br />adequate compaction for stability and to prevent leaching of toxic or acid- <br />forming materials. <br />r16(a)(~) (3) All grading shall be done in a manner to control erosion and <br />siltation of the affected lands, to protect areas outside the affected land from <br />slides and other damage. If not eliminated, all highwalls shall be stabilized. <br />rt6(a)(~(t) (4) All bacldlling and grading shall be completed as soon as <br />feasible after the mining process. The Operator shall establish masonable <br />timetables consistent with good mining and reclamation procedures. <br />116(a)(c), (d) (~ All refuse and acid-forming or toxic producing materials that <br />.na <~) have been mined shall be handled and disposed of in a manner that will <br />control unsightliness and prated the drainage system from pollution. <br />(~ Any drill or auger holes that are part of the mining operation <br />shall be plugged with non-combustible material, which shall prevent <br />harmful or polluting drainage. Adits and shafts should be closed, and <br />where practicable, backfilled and graded in a manner consistent wiW We <br />post mine land use and shall comply with the provisions of the Act, <br />Constnrdion Material Rules and Regulations. . <br />('1) Maximum slopes and slope combinations shall be compatible <br />with the configuration of surrounding conditions and selected brad use. In <br />all cases where a Ltke or pond is produced as a portion of the Reclamation <br />Plan, all slopes, unless otherwise approved by the Board or Office, shall be <br />no steeper than a ratio of 2:1 (horizontal to vertical ratio), except from 5 <br />feet above to 10 feet below the expected water line where slopes shall be <br />not steeper than 3:1. If a swimming area is proposed as a portion of the <br />Reclamation Plan, the slope, unless otherwise approved ~iy the Board or <br />ce, shall be no steeper than 5:1 throughout the area proposed for <br />swimming, and a slope no steeper than 2:1 elsewhere in the pond. <br />116(a)(o) (8) If the Operator's choice of reclamation is for agricultural or <br />horticultural crops which normally require the use of farm equipment, the <br />Operator shall grade so that the area can be traversed with farm machinery. <br />(9) An Operator may bacldll structural fill material generated <br />within the MLRB permitted area into an excavated pit within the permit <br />area as provided for in the MLRB Permit. If an Operator intends to <br />bacldll inert structural fill generated outside of the approved permit area, <br />
