r ~„~,11""' ~ - J ~ . 3.10 <br />~ v~ S-v-~ <br />3.3.1 BACKFILLING AND GRADING <br />The sediment pond, rip-rap stockpile, McCiane to Munger Road, premine access road; and <br />office area will be backfilled and regraded following completion of reclamation activities <br />associated with the bench area. The ephemeral channels which formerly crossed the area will <br />~r be reestablished (see Figure 3.3-1). In other areas, only minor regrading will be undertaken to <br />J~ <br />smooth the surface following removal of facilities, and to reestablish contours that are suitable <br />to intended post mining uses. <br />All grading will be done on the contour where possible. Where such an operation would not <br />provide a safe situation for the equipment operator, the operator will work against the slope to <br />recontour and topsoil the area. The fill area will be roughed on those slopes where equipment <br />can be safely operated to provide protection against slippage. <br />MINE BENCH AREA <br />All slopes will be compatible with the configuration and selected land use as described in <br />Section 4.1.2.3. The bench area will be reclaimed to the extent possible. In removing excess <br />material from the bench area for the improvement of the road on the canyon floor and to <br />maintain, to the extent possible, original conditions of the ephemeral channel, available material <br />for shaping the site was reduced. It is presently anticipated that sufficient material is available <br />from the bench area face-up, along with material used to create the lower bench level which will <br />allow the return of the area to a condition that is suitable for the intended uses and compatible <br />with surrounding topographic features (see Fgure 3.1-1). <br />L~ <br />M~ Volume 1 4-29-96 <br />
