<br />' b) There will be compliance with applicable federal and Colorado water quality laws <br />and regulations. <br />c) There will be no dredge and fill operations. <br />d) Any temporary ditches constructed across drainways will be removed after the <br />disturbed areas are revegetated and stabilized. <br />'~ 2) Earthen dams may need to be constructed to control drainage as mining proceeds. <br />Wildlife: <br />1) Operations and conditions in the gravel pit area will have minimal impact on the wildlife <br />of this aria. This area is not known to be used exclusively for activities critical to the <br />life cycles of wildlife that require special consideration. <br />2) Upon vegetation establishment and maturation, the habitat will be managed as it was <br />before gravel mining. Vegetation will be established to provide suitable grazing range <br />for cattle and to provide adequate cover and feeding material for wildlife (bo[h game and <br />' non-game species). <br />Toosoiling; <br />'~ 1) Where present, topsoil will be removed to a depth of 4 to 12 inches prior to gravel <br />mining and stockpiled in the sections of the phased areas designated for stockpile storage <br />(see Reclamation Plan Map). If the soil is stockpiled for a period longer than one year, <br />the topsoil (interim) seed mixture will be applied during the growing season that follows <br />' stockpiling. <br />2) After existing trees (if any) are harvested for firewood, the remaining shrubs, fortis, and <br />tree limbs, along with grasses, will be chipped and incorporated into the topsoil and <br />stockpiled. <br />3) The stockpile(s) will be located in area(s) of minimal runoff and disturbance from the <br />' gravel mining operations. <br />' 4) The topsoil stockpile will be rehandled as little as possible. If relocation of a stockpile <br />is required, the Board or Division will be contacted for approval by way of a technical <br />revision. <br />' S) Stability of replaced topsoil will be assured by scarification and roughening of the final <br />grade (before topsoil placement) to minimize slippage. <br /> ,~,~.u, <br /> i rtq: 1 1 <br /> <br />
