<br />' and storing sediment from exposed and erodible surfaces will <br />be built prior to construction start-up in any particular area. <br />These structures will be maintained as necessary. Small check <br />dams will be placed as necessary below slopes as temporary <br />' erosion control measures until revegetation is far enough along <br />to provide a stabilized slope condition. A complete discussion <br />' of diversion and sediment control is contained in Section D.\9. <br />E.2.3 Grading and Stabilization <br />Slopes will be shaped for reclamation during the material <br />placement or removal except in the leach pad area. Depending <br />on the type of material, erodibility, and the practical <br />' considerations of the mining process, overall slope grades will <br />range from 1H:1V to near flat. <br />' Loose faces of slopes will be "walked" with a dozer to <br /> partially compact the surfaces prior to placing topsoil. Haul <br />' and access roads to be reclaimed will be graded or have the <br /> edge berm pulled back prior to revegetation. [n addition, <br />' compacted surfaces will be ripped or scarified. These roads <br /> will be outsloped and drained with cross ditches or water bars <br />' to prevent them from acting as drainages. <br /> E.2.4 Surface and Seedbed Preparation <br />1 <br /> Seedbed preparation for areas tc be revegetated will <br />' take place after grading, stabilization, and topsoil placement <br /> and will include: <br />' <br /> 1. Compacted surfaces will be loosened and left in <br />t a rough condition by ripping, disking, or other <br />h <br />i <br />f <br />l <br />d <br />bl <br /> an <br />ca <br />means. Loose ero <br />e sur <br />aces may need <br />mec <br />i <br /> to be "dozer-tracked" to prevent sloughing before <br />' amendments, seed, and mulch are applied. <br />E-5 <br />
