Section 616.132 (a) Continued. At the permanent conclusion of surface mining operations, Energy Fuels will close or backfill or otherwise permanently reclaim all affected areas. The reclamation plans are set forth in Sections 780.18, 780.21, 780.23, 780.25, and 780.27. The sequence of spoil grading is shown on the Energy Pfines No. 1 and 2 Spoil Grading Plan (P]ap 43) and the Eckman Park Spoil Grading Plan (Map 44). The Energy Mines No. 1 and 2 Topsoil Removal, Storage, Redistribution and Revegetation (Map 41) and the Eckman Park Topsoil Removal, Storage, Redistribution and Revegetation (Map 42) graphically display the reclamation plans. The projected postmining topography is set for on the Energy Afines No. 1 and 2 Postmining Topography (Map 48) and the Eckman Park Postmining Topography (Map 49). (b) All underground openings, equipment, structures, or other facilities not required for monitoring, unless approved by the regulatory authority as suitable for the postmining land use or environmental monitoring, • shall be removed and the affected land reclaimed. Energy Fuels will remove any equipment, structures, or other facil- ities at the conclusion of mining activites and will reclaim the affected land. Surface facilities such as the Tipple No. 2 crushing and loadout facility, the railroad spur, the mine office, and the shop and warehouse facilities will possibly be maintained after the cessation of surface mining activities if they are needed for use with respect to possible underground mining operations. No engineering plans for a possible future underground mine have been completed; how- ever, a comprehensive permit application will be submitted prior to any underground mining. Because Energy Fuels has not presently submitted a permit applica- tion which would require the use of the ehisting structures for • underground mining, a reclamation plan has, nonetheless, been - developed for the surface facilities at the conclusion of mining. 816-167
