• 3.1.8 ~Vildlifc (I) The operator will consider the safety and protection of wildlife on site - if any. No described critical periods are kno~~m for this site. (2) Habitat management is not part of the reclamation plan fm• this project. It does not appear that there arc any unique opportunities to entrance habitat. 3.1.9 Topsoiling The topsoil or growth media will be segregated to help prevent deterioration and erosion. If topsoil or growth media is to remain in stockpile for more than 1 growing season, an SCS recommended vegetative cover shall be employed so that the topsoil or grovs~th media is protected from erosion, remains free of any contamination by toxic oracid-forming material, and is in a usable condition for reclamation. (2) There is no woody vegetation present on the site to be affected. (3) The topsoil or gro~~4h media will be stockpiled on the perimeter of the pit area and located so as to be undisturbed by ongoing mining operations. The stockpiles will be ]ow to help avoid erosion. They have been included in the affected area and will be reclaimed as per the Plan. (4) This operator finds that it is a better operational practice io move topsoil only once. There is less degeneration of the material, as well as being more economical. Topsoil or growth media on this operation will only be handled once. (5) This plan is designed to have reclaimed slopes of 3H:1V or flatter, which precludes any slippage. The operator will scarify the backfilled surfaces to insure bonding. There are no hea~ry textured spoil surfaces on this site. (6) The operator feels that the topsoil or grov~~[h media on site is of sufficient quality for revegetation. There is no more suitable materials for revegetation on site. (7) The topsoil or gro~~4h media will bz replaced evenly over the site at an average depth of 4" - 8". 40# available N&P will be applied per acre as recommended by the SCS. (8) There are no vegetative piles to be dealt with in reclamation of this site.
