,~ ~ 3~ <br />COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 3 <br />RECLAMATION PERFORMANCE STANDARDS <br />Performance standards will be developed to establish reclamation goals and to provide <br />guidelines for evaluating the success of the site reclamation activities. The reclamation plan will <br />comply with Rule 3 of the Mined Land Reclamation Regulations, and will be preformed on the <br />affected lands as follows: <br />GRADING: <br />BackSlling may be performed in some areas to reduce slopes to no more than 2.1. <br />Adequate compaction will be performed to ensure stability of final regraded surface. <br />2. In areas where it is not practical to obtain a slope no steeper than 2:1 erosion control <br />bench terraces will be installed across the slope. <br />All backfilling and grading will be completed within 6 to 8 months after completion of <br />gravel mining in a designated phased area. <br />4. No refuse or acid forming nor toxic producing materials will be mined. <br />No auger or drill holes will remain. <br />Final slopes will be no steeper than 2:1 in gravel mined area. <br />7. Agricultural crop production is not a part of final reclamation. <br />WATER: <br />This operation will not appreciably disturb water quality or the prevailing hydrologic <br />balance of affected land and the surrounding area. Run off from the slopes to be mined <br />will be diverted into detention ponds along the West edge of the existing railroad bed. A <br />silt fence will be installed on the West boundary of the area to be mined. <br />a) There will be compliance with applicable Colorado water laws and regulations <br />regarding injury to existing water rights. <br />b) There will be compliance with applicable Federal and State water quality laws and <br />regulations. <br />
