nest will be monitored by a qualified biologist until the young have Fledged, at which time the BLM will be notified and approval requested to allow construction to continue. Exceptions, modifications, or waivers to the NSO and TL stipulations consistent with the White River Resource Area resource management plan may be allowed by the BLM based on consultation on a site- specific basis. 9. All road alignments, including roads to individual well fields, will be stripped of topsoil over their entire width. Topsoil removal from these roads will include shoulders. Topsoil stripped from road alignments will be stockpiled within the well field for use at the time of final reclamation. Topsoil handling is addressed in detail in the Reclamation Plan, Section 4.3, Soil Inventory, Salvage, and Storage. 10. In order to prevent inadvertent misuse or contamination of stockpiled topsoil, each location where topsoil is stockpiled will be clearly marked. 11. a) In accordance with Rule 6.4.5(2)(f)(i), the maximum reclaimed slope gradient will be 3:1 or as shallc,w as physical constraints allow where steeper slopes have been disturbed. Disturbance of natural slopes greater that 3:1 will be avoided where possible. b) Figure F-l, included with the 112 Permit Application, was intended to show the mining and reclamation timetable for the mining panels only. All roads constructed by American Soda will be reclaimed either at the time the individual mining panels are closed or at final project closure. DMG may assume that these roads will have to be reclaimed when estimating reclamation costs. c) Revegetation success criteria used by the DMG for bond release have been noted. d) Foundation elements to be buried in place will be shattered, as necessary, to allow infiltration of rainwater and snowmelt. e) Seed mixture modifications, as required for reclamation purposes, will be submitted to the DMG for review and approval through the technical revision process (Rule 1.9). In the revised Reclamation Plan, American Soda has also committed to submitting any such modification to the BLM for review and approval. 12. Proposals to construct sedimentation basins at the Piceance Site will be submitted to the DMG for review and approval through an appropriate permit ;~,,,,~..,.~wqY.,,~.,..,_ 9 uiM wIW SJium M~mtl, ~n~ Arrwt,n sJa LLI'.
