ExHISIT E <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />Rul@30J2.5-701- 6.4.8 <br />lzxa) <br />Reclamation of the entire 22-acre disturbed area of the permitted area site shall be re-vegetation to <br />rangeland pasture use, since due to the climate, available soil, and remote location that would be the highest <br />and best use. <br />n~ <br />Previous sandstone quarries in the vicinity were reclaimed as rangeland pasture, which is the primary ]and <br />use in the vicinity. <br />(U <br />Section 3.1 Compliance <br />3.1.1 Post-mining Use: rangeland <br />3.1.3 Hme & Phoning: progressive {see chart below) <br />3.1.5 Materials Handling: drill-shoot-muck product to flat grade; the fenced steep stable <br />sidewalls/headwalls are compatible with adjacent gorge cliffs; equipment access is assured, although un- <br />necessary; left-over oversized (clean & inert) rock to be wasted against east sidewall as backfill for grade- <br />reduction, if available. <br />3.1.6-~ Water Effects: no groundwater to affect; surface drainages have severely limited flow - <br />no work in flowing channels; scant incumbent snowmelt & rain to be contained/dispersed on-site without <br />impoundment ponding; no induced contamination to water resources. <br />3.1.8 Wildlife Effects: relatively small progressive disturbance is compatible for co-existing with <br />regional wildlife of all sorts; smooth rock-outcrop ridges provide little feed or shelter; topsoiled, re- <br />vegetated pit floor should enhance both feed and shelter. <br />3.1.9 Soils: all significant soils to be salvaged & re-spread following extraction; deeper deposits <br />shall provide soil-cover for formerly bare areas <br />3.1.10 Vegetation: re-veg emphasis is on livestock/wildlife grazing, featuring diverse grasses and <br />woody species, which provide soil stabilization, feed and shelter. <br />3.1.11 Structures: only permitted portable production equipment <br />3.1.12 Sinage: permit boundary and disturbed (bonded) areas to be marked with posts; entry sign <br />Reclamation of the first several initial extraction "shot" areas shall be delayed to utilize the worked out pit <br />floor for on-going processing and stockpiling of gravel products. <br />The quarry high-walls, beginning at the northeast and east extraction boundary shall have been drilled and <br />shot at a neaz-vertical quarter-to-one ('/aVert:lHor) profile, with a 6- to 10-foot wide horizontal bench for <br />each 25 feet of vertical depth. As extraction progresses to the south and reaches the south permitted azea <br />boundary those pit floor areas no longer needed for operations shall be spread with available topsoil and <br />reject fines material and shall be re-vegetated per the seeding specification listed below.
