Page 110 <br />Hazd Rock/Metal Mining Rule 6 <br />(b) the estimated depth to which soil, suitable as a plant growth <br />medium, wiIl be salvaged for use in the reclamation process. This description <br />must be consistent with information provided in Exhibit B. Sufficient soil <br />must be salvaged to meet the vegetation establishment criteria of Subsection <br />3.1.10. )f plant growth medium is not reapplied on a graded area immediately <br />after salvage, then the Operator(Applicant must specify how the topsoil will <br />be stockpiled and stabilized with a vegetative cover until used in reclamation. <br />Plant growth medium stockpiles must be located separate from other <br />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 <br />shown on Exhibit E -Map; <br />(c) specify the thickness of overburden or quantity of waste rock, <br />if any, to be removed to reach the deposit. The location of any overburden <br />stockpiles or waste rock fills must be shown on Exhibit E -Map; <br />(d) specify the thickness of the deposit to be mined; <br />(e) describe the major components of the mining operation such <br />as: roads and access routes, pit, office, shop/maintenance buildings, plant, <br />processing facilities, and any underground openings such as adits or <br />ventilation facilities. These components must be located onExhibit E -Map; <br />(f) specify the dimensions of any significant disturbances to the <br />land surface such as pit excavations, mitre benches, impoundments, stockpiles, <br />waste rock disposal azeas, etc; <br />(g) specify the dimensions of any existing or proposed roads that <br />will be used for the mining operation. Descrtbe any improvements necessary <br />on existing roads and the specifications to be used in the construction of new <br />roads. New or improved roads must be included as part of the permitted <br />acreage. Describe any associated drainage and runoff conveyance structures <br />to include sufficient information to evaluate structure sizing; <br />(h) specify how much water will be used in conjunction with the <br />operation, and the source of this water; <br />(i) if groundwater will be encountered and/or surface water <br />intercepted or disturbed, describe how mining will affect the quantity and <br />quality of the surface or groundwater and the methods to be used to minimise <br />disturbance to the surface and groundwater systems including proposed <br />
