(b) A Comparison of the proposed post mining land use to other land use in the vicinity and [o
adopted state and local land use plans and programs.
As stated above, all surrounding lands are currently used as rangeland. The adjacent gravel
operations all have post mining reclamation proposals for reclaroation to rangeland. A
conditional permit has been applied for with the Huerfano County Land Use Department in
order to change the current Lmd use designation from an Agricultural District designation
(vacant rangetand) to an Extractive lnduslries land designation (see Exhibit M).
(c) A description of how the Reclamation Pian will be implemented to meet each applicable
requirement of Rule 3: Reclamation Performance Standards -Section 3.1.1 tlrrou Section
3:1,5
3.1.1 - EsrablishingPost-Miningl e: Post mine use will be for rangeland.
3. L2 -Reclaiming Substituted Land: There are no previously mined lands to be substituted.
3.1.3 -Time Limit and Phased Reclamation: Concurrent reclamation is planned. [t is anticipated
that each crusher mobilization will disturb 3 to 4 acres. The initial phase (Phase Q of reclamation
will occur as clean-up and pocket mining progresses. Approximately 10 acres maximum disturbed
area at any time for any Phase Area. Phase 1 will have continuous operations area of 5 acres for
equipment and stockpiling until end of operations.
3.1 A - Pubhs Uss: There will be no pubfis use pemdtted at the proposed azea of operations before,
during or subsequent to the completion of mining activities and reclamation.
3.1.5 -Reclamation Measures -Materials Handline:
(t) Final grading will match previous site topography at about a IO foot lower average elevation
across the site, A[I slopes wilt be 3:I or Less
(2) Backfilling is part of the reclamation plan. Overburden and waste (reject) materials will be
placed in lifts and compacted. There will be no acid forming or toxic materials generated by
mining activities at the site.
(3) Stormwater control measures and Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be used to protect
areas outside the affected area. All slopes into the excavated area will be stabilized at 3:1.
(4) Concurrent reclamation activities aze planned.
(5) There will be no acid forming or toxic materials produced by mining and/or reclamation
activities a[ the proposed site.
(6) There will be no drill, auger holes adits or shafts at the proposed site. All mining activities
will be of the surface variety using bulldozers, scrapers and loaders to excavate and process
material from the pit area.
(7) All slopes will be a[ 31 or less. Ponds or lakes are not part of this reclamation plan.
(8) The owner's/bperator's choice of reclamation is for rangeland.
(9) There are no plans for the use of site generated or offsite inert structural backfill materials.
(30) There are no surface drainage systems within the proposed permit area. Stormwater controls
and BMPs will be utilized [o prevent Stormwater from entering [he excavated pi[ area.
(I1)There will be no unauthorized release ofpollutants [o the groundwater. Fuels and lubricants
for equipment will be self-contained. Volumes will be the tank sizes of the various equipment
An onsite fuel or fluid storage may be contemplated other than that which is self contained in
the equipment. If constructed it shall be located out of traffic areas and have a constructed
berm of sufficient volume and/or be a double walled rank unit. Types of fluids will probably
be diesel fuel, gasoline, lubricating oils, and engine coolants.
All other applicable Rule 3: 3.1 Reclamation Performance Standazds requirement concerns for
Surface Water, Groundwater, W ildlife, Topsoiling, and Revegetation are explained in [he
appropriate "Exhibit" section of this application document. There aze no current buildings,
