° - ~ <br />~ ~ ~ J ~ ~' <br />8I6.I00 COIr'TEMPORANEOUS RECLAMATION (v3,pp.81~6-.122) <br />A. Existing Environment <br />The mine plan area currently supports grezing land <br />and associated wildlife habitat X616.111-.117). <br />B. Description of Applicant's Proposal <br />Energy Fuels proposes to reclaim all land that is <br />disturbed by surface mining activities as contem- <br />poraneously as practicable. <br />Implementation of the reclamation plan, as described <br />in Section 780.18, will be timely. Rough backfilliag <br />and grading will be accomplished by leveling the spoil <br />ridges with dozers and graders until smooth enough to <br />reapply topsoil. This will normally be completed within <br />180 days follok-i.ng coal removal and will not be more <br />than four spoil ridges behind the active pit. The only <br />exceptions are the following: <br />`'~ (1) A section of the highwall left open for a <br />possible underground mine portal area as <br />described in Section 785.18. <br />(2) Sections of the initial 7400 and 6050 box- <br />cut will remain open for approximately one <br />year due to their position as described in <br />Section 816.101 in relation to the associated <br />dragline cuts. <br />(3) A Length of highwall along the 7400 pit neaz <br />~ the western edge of C-081330 lease line will <br />remain open for approximately one year so <br />that the pits can be resumed in October 1980 <br />and mining can progress logically into <br />Eckman Park. <br />Topsoil will be removed prior to mining and generally <br />will be immediately redistributed rather than stock- <br />piled except when sufficient area suitable for redis- <br />tribution does not exist. Topsoil removed from the <br />inital boxcuts in Eckman Pazk will be stored as <br />described in Section 816.23. <br /> <br /> <br />-73- <br /> <br /> <br />'v , <br />
