... EJ~i~IT E will be seeded with fast-growing cover to minimize contamination and erosion. More detail may be found in Section 4 of this Exhibit. Reclamation will occur concurrent with Honing of the pit, to whatever extent is practical, reducing potential adverse impacts and reducing the volume of soils to be stockpiled at any one time. Planting will be done as part of the reclamation process. Around the perimeter of the reservov (above the normal water surface elevation), suitable growth media topsoil will have a minimum depth of 12". Any other disturbed areas requiring grading, seeding, or planting will have a minimum of 6" of suitable growth media topsoil. Reve etg anon The short-term objective of revegetation is the immediate stabilization of the disturbed site following the conclusion of mining activities. This objective will be achieved through controlled mining practices, construction and maintenance of erosion and sediment control facilities, inclusion of rapidly developing species in the seed mixtures to be planted, proper seedbed prepazation to encourage rapid plant establishment, and mulch application. The long-term objectives are to develop self-sustaining, productive plant communities on non-inundated disturbed areas and to provide overall wildlife habitat values equal to those provided by the vegetation communities existing prior to disturbance. These objectives will be achieved through the planting of adapted, native perennial grass, forb, shrub, and tree species and by providing a water feature in place of cultivated fields. Concurrent stabilization/revegetation will be completed where operations on an individual disturbed site have been terminated and no further disturbances are anticipated. Buildings and Structures No buildings or structures existing or proposed are intended to remain onsite after reclamation has been completed. Sims and Markers The operator will post a sign as per the requirements of Construction Materials Rule 3, section 3.1.12, consisting of: a) The name of the Operator. b) A statement that a reclamation permit for the operation has been issued by the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Boazd. c) Permit number. The boundaries of the permit area will be marked adequately to delineate affected areas where mining and associated activities may occur.
