N M <br />c) There will be no dredge and fill operations. <br />d) Any temporary ditches constructed across drain ways will be removed after the <br />disturbed areas have been re-vegetated and stabilized. <br />2. Earthen dams may need to be constructed to control drainage as mining proceeds. <br />All surface areas will be stabilized, including spoil piles, so as to effectively control <br />erosion. <br />WII.DLIFE: <br />Operations and conditions in the gravel pit area will have minimal impact on the wildlife of <br />this area. This area is not known to be used exclusively for activities critical to the life <br />cycles of wildlife that require special consideration. <br />2. Upon vegetation establishment and maturation, the habitat will be managed as it was <br />before gravel mining. Vegetation will be established to provide suitable cover and feeding <br />material for wildlife (both game and non-game species). <br />TOP SOILING: <br />Where present topsoil will be removed prior to gravel mining and stock piled in a section <br />of the phase area designated for stock pile storage. If stockpiled for more than one year, <br />the topsoil (interim) seed mixture will be applied during the growing season that follows <br />stockpiling. <br />2. After existing trees for the first phase are harvested for fuewood, the remaining shrubs, <br />fortis and tree limbs along with grasses will be chipped and incorporated into the topsoil <br />stockpile. <br />3. The stockpile(s) will be located in area(s) of minimal runoff and disturbance from the <br />gravel mining operations. <br />4. The topsoil stockpile will be handled as little as possible. If relocation of a stockpile is <br />required, the Board or Division will be contacted for approval byway of a technical <br />revision. <br />3n <br />Stability of replaced topsoil will be assured by scarification and roughening of the final <br />grade, (before topsoil placement), to minimize slippage. <br />
