• be kept informed of developments should this occur in order to assure that the facilities <br />will not be abandoned, but will be transferred to a bona fide operator with CMLRB's <br />concurrence. <br />Reclamation Plan. Provided that no bone fide requests are made for the facilities, <br />reclamation of the office/shop area will take place after cessation of operations. Based <br />on the previously stated evidence of conditions prior to mining end the desire to perform <br />reclamation that will benefit the postmining lend uses, reclamation will approximate <br />closely that which is detailed in iab 13 of the Seneca II Permit Application (revised May <br />27, 1981). Items that ere more specific to the office/shop area are detailed below. <br />1. Preparation of the Site. With the completion of operations and final reclamation, the <br />facilities will no longer be needed and will be dismantled. Foundations and other <br />concrete structures will be broken and hauled to the solid waste disposal area for buiral <br />as shown on Exhibit 12-2, Mining Facilities Map. Two fee[ of soil or other materials on <br />the site will be removed and disposed of in the ash disposal area. This will ensure that <br />surfacing materials used in the office/shop area plus any debris from the dismantling <br />• operation will be removed. The area will then be deep ripped to reduce compaction and <br />enhance root penetration and infiltration. Slopes around the office/shop area will be <br />graded and shaped to a more gentle angle that blends in with the surrounding topography. <br />2. Topsoil Replacement. Topsoil will be replaced over the ripped and shaped areas. The <br />topsoil will be taken from Topsoil Stockpile A which is located between the shop and the <br />northwest impoundment (003). Based on the current topsoil balance, Stockpile A contains <br />4.5 acre-feet of topsoil. The entire office/shop areas cover 16 acres. Of that total, 8 <br />acres fall under the pos[law tetegory; therefore, the topsoil replacement thickness will <br />be 0.6 feet. Replacement of topsoil will follow procedures detailed in Tab 9, Attachment <br />1, Topsoil Management Plen and Scheduling. <br />3. Revegetetion. After topsoil has been replaced on the postlau eight acres, the entire <br />area will be prepared for planting. Revegetetion will proceed according to the <br />Revegetetion Plan in Tab 13, Page 12. Seed Mix No. 1 listed in Tab 13 of the Seneca ]I <br />Mine Permit Application will be the preferred seed mix for revegetation of the office/shop <br />area and any associated disturbances due to grading. <br />4.
