3-4 <br />The reclamation of rangeland will be in those areas where topo- <br />graphic features are commensurate with the historical and pro- <br />posed use. The blending of rangeland into the steeper sloped <br />wildlife habitat will allow for the provision of the maximum <br />extent of domestic and wildlife use. Seeding on lesser slopes <br />in the canyon floor area will be drilled, with broadcast seed- <br />ing occuring only on the inaccessible slopes. <br />All aspects of the proposed reclamation plan are aimed at <br />achieving the highest possible success in vegetation establish- <br />ment in consideration of all controlling factors. <br />3.1 Post-Mining Topography <br />• A topographic map depicting approximate final reclamation contours <br />is presented in Figure 3.1-1. Post-mining slopes and landform <br />configuration are similar to the pre-mining conditions identified <br />in Figure 1.1-2, and existing conditions shown in Figure 2.2-1. <br />Because the disturbed area associated with the operation is of <br />limited area and is located primarily in a draw with steep slopes <br />and rock outcrops existent, post-mining topographic configuration <br />will not be unlike the pre-mining conditions. <br />All disturbed area will be returned to its former uses, wildlife <br />habitat and rangeland and will be returned in a manner that is <br />suitable to such use and correlated with surrounding land uses <br />which are generally based on topographic limitations. <br /> <br />
