<br />1 <br />Of the 216.81 +/- acres of affected land, the seven lakes <br />' to be created will cover approximatel 126 74 acr~y^d the <br />creek will include about 10.33 acres. There will be about .25 <br />' acres of permanent road and about 19.21 acres of undisturbed <br /> land. The remainde r of the affected land, approximately 60.28 <br />' acres, will resoiled and revegetated. <br /> As outlined in the Mining Plan, the site will be mined in <br />' <br /> three stages. As min ing progresses through each stage, the slopes <br />' along the perimeter areas will be left at or backfilled t 3:1 <br /> or less so that as mining is completed, only minor slope work <br />' will be required. This will also insure that if mining ceases <br /> at any time before completion, a minimal amount of reclamation <br />1 b <br />i <br /> w <br />ll <br />e required. Other procedures in this plan are designed <br />' to minimize the effe ct of midstage stoppage. An example of such <br /> is the stockpiling of soils on the setback areas so that haulage <br />' to the area of use will be limited as much as possible to simply <br />respreading. Map exhibits are designed to contain complete details <br />1 and progression of mining stages and reclamation phases. <br />' Soils are to be stripped and stockpiled as mining proceeds <br />through each stage. The operator expects to salvage sufficient <br />' amounts of soil to permit respreading on all disturbed areas <br />that are to be revegetated with betwe 10 and 14 inches of soil. <br />' Some areas in the creek bottom contain no soi while other areas <br />' contain upwards of four feet. There appears to be more than <br />enough soil to complete the work as planned. Only about a third <br />' of the total area will be revegetated. <br />' 14 <br />
