(8) The Operators/Applicant's and Landowners' choice of rangeland reclamation for cattle <br />• production will require slopes of 3H:1 V or flatter in order to establish good cattle grazing <br />areas, and to prevent erosion. Farm machinery will be used only at the time of <br />revegetation and will not be a factor long range. <br />(9) The Operator/Applicant, in conjunction with the landowners, may decide to use <br />reject/overburden to fill areas outside the permit boundary to improve the rangeland on the <br />landowners adjacent lands. The operator will notify the office (DMG-MLRB) of any <br />proposed backfill activity not identified in the approved Reclamation Plan. However, this <br />option has some merit only if excess reject/overburden is generated. <br />(a) No specific location has been chosen at this time. <br />(b) Volume of inert material to be backfilled would have to be determined if this <br />option is adopted. <br />(c) A signed affidavit will be supplied certifying that the material is clean and inert, <br />if this option is taken. <br />(d) No date of proposed activity can be given at this time. If this option is chosen, <br />the office will be notified. <br />(e) Backfilled areas will be done in order to increase grazing land, and thus all <br />operations will be done in a manner compatible with the surrounding rangeland contours <br />and stability. <br />(1] All backfilled areas will be compacted to industry standards for general field <br />backfilling. The compacting will be accomplished by truck and heavy equipment rolling over <br />the backfilled areas as mining is underway. <br />(10) All mined material will be handled in such a manner so as to prevent any unauthorized <br />pollutants to the surface drainage system. The sand and gravel stockpiles witl be located <br />and arranged to avoid any uncontrolled runoff of stormwater from this site. <br />(11) No groundwater pollutants will be released at this site. This mine is a high and dry <br />area, and the deposit is sand and gravel with no known pollutants. <br />,~ <br />
