ATTACHMENT A: SPECIAL STIPUALTIONS
MOFFAT LIMESTONE COMPANY
JUNIPER MOUNTAIN MINE
1. Topsoil or surficial soil stockpiles shall be confined to northeast and southwest
edge of quarry sites number 2A and 2B in the Phase 1 area.
2. To protect critical mule deer winter range, activity will not be allowed from
December 1 to April 30. An exception can be granted by the authorized officer,
depending on weather conditions during the last 60 days of the period.
3. Those portions of mining claims Juniper #4 and Juniper #5 that lie within the Phase 2
area will require a lOC~ pedestrian Class III archeological survey for cultural
resources prior to surface disturbing activities. If the survey is performed by a
private archeologist, the archaeologist must be approved by the Bureau of Land
Management. If cultural resources are identified through the survey, additional
mitigation measures may be required.
4. Archeological site 5MF2687, located on tt~ining claim Juniper #3 on the upper portion
of the haul road, will be avoided. If operations are such that the site cannot be
avoided, the permitee will be required to mitigate the site in another manner
acceptable to the authorized officer and the State Historic Preservation Officer at
the permittee's expense.

addition, signs shall be placed on all access roads and around the permit area as
frequently as necessary to advise the vehicular and pedestrian public of the
existence of potential danger from blasting and other mine activities.
8. Reclamation Performance Standards
The permittee is required to use the reclamation practices necessary to reclaim all
disturbed areas. Reclamation will ensure surface and subsurface stability, growth of
a self-regenerating permanent vegetative cover and compatibility with post land use.
The vegetation will be diverse and of the same seasonal growth as adjoining
vegetation. Post land use will be determined by the authorized officer but normally
will be the same as adjoining uses.
Reclamation practices which must be applied or accomplished are: site regrading,
effectively controlling noxious weeds, separating, storing and protecting topsoil for
redistribution during final abandonment, seeding and controlling erosion. If topsoil
is not present, or quantities are insufficient to achieve reclamation goals, a
suitable plant growth media will be separated, stored and protected for later use.
Reclamation will begin with the salvaging of topsoil and continue until the required
standards are met. Since use of the disturbed area is for periods of time greater
than one year, interim reclamation is required on the unused areas. Interim
reclamation of the unused areas will begin immediately upon completion of the
permitted use and be completed, with exception of vegetative establishment, within
