<br />1 <br />-6- <br />' 4. A wildlife statement prepared by the Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW) is <br />not required for Llmlted Impact Operations. However, you may want to contact the <br />local DOW representative to verify that no critical or important wildlife habitats <br />' or wildlife species will be Impacted by your proposed operation. Contact the DOW <br />office in Denver at (303) 297-1192, or the MLRD for assistance in locating the DOW <br />office nearest the proposed mining site. <br />' EXHIBIT C - Mlninq Plan <br />The purpose of the mining plan is to describe how mining will affect the permit area for <br />' the duration of the operation. This plan must be correlated to Exhibit E - Map. The <br />description of the mining plan must be adequate to satisfy the requirements of Rule 3.2 <br />and demonstrate compliance with Rule 6. At a minimum, you should include the following <br />' information: <br />1. Specify the dates that mining will commence and end. These may be dictated <br />by uncertain economic factors, but you should make your best estimate based upon <br />' your current plans; <br />2. Specify the depth to which soil, suitable as a plant growth medium, will be <br />' salvaged for use in the reclamation process. This description must be consistent <br />with information you provide in Exhibit 8. Sufficient soil should be salvaged to <br />meet the vegetation establishment criteria of Rule 6.5. If you do not reapply the <br />plant growth medium on a graded area immediately after salvage, then you must <br />specify how you will stockpiie and stabilize it with a vegetative cover until used <br />1n reclamation. Plant growth medium stockpiles should be located separate from <br />other stockpiles, out of the way of mine traffic and out of stream channels or <br />' drainageways. The location of plant growth medium stockpiles must be shown on <br />Exhibit E - Map; <br />' 3. Specify the thickness of overburden or quantity of waste rock, if any, to be <br />removed to reach the deposit. The location of any overburden stockpiles or waste <br />rock fills must be shown on Exhibit E - Map; <br />' 4. Specify the thickness of the deposit to be mined; <br />5. Describe the major components of the mining operation such as: roads and <br />' access routes; pit; office, shop/maintenance buildings, plant, processing <br />facilities; and, underground openings such as adits or ventilation facilities. <br />These components must be located on Exhibit E - Map; <br />' 6. Specify the dimensions of any significant disturbances to the land surface <br />such as pit excavations, mine benches, Impoundments, stockpiles, waste rock <br />disposal areas, etc; <br />t 7. Specify the dimensions of any existing or proposed roads that wiil be used <br />for the mining operation. Describe any improvements necessary on existing roads <br />and the specifications to be used in the construction of new roads. New or <br />improved roads must be included as part of the permitted acreage; <br />1 <br />1 <br />
