<br />(8) The Operator s/Applicant's and Landowners' choice of rangeland reclamation for cattle production <br />will require slopes of 3H:1 V or flatter in order to establish good cattle grazing areas, and to prevent <br />erosion. Farm machinery will be used only at the time of revegetation and will not be a factor long <br />range. <br />(9) The Operator/Applicant, in conjunction with the landowners, may decide to use reject/overburden <br />to fill areas outside the permit boundary to improve the rangeland on the landowners adjacent lands. <br />The operator will notify the office (DMG-NLRB) of any proposed backfill activity not identified in <br />the approved Reclamation Plan. However, this option has some merit only if excess <br />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 option is <br />adopted. <br />(c) A signed affidavit will be supplied certifying that the material is clean and inert, if this <br />option is taken. <br />(d) No date of proposed activity can be given at this time. If this option is chosen, the office <br />will be notified. <br />(e) Backfilled areas will be done in order to increase grazing land, and thus all operations will <br />be done in a manner compatible with the surrounding rangeland contours and stability. <br />(t) All backfilled areas will be compacted to industry standazds for general Seld backfilling. <br />If this operation is chosen, the operator will supply a general engineering plan to the office <br />(DMG-NLRB) for review. <br />(10) All mined material will be handled in such a manner so as to prevent any unauthorized pollutants <br />to the surface drainage system. The sand and gravel stockpiles will be located and arranged to avoid <br />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 azea, and the <br />deposit is sand and gravel with no known pollutants. <br />
