"ACKFILL NOTIe such materials are acid or toxic producing, as will not significantly affect the inert nature of such solids. The term includes, but is not limited to, earth, sand, gravel, rock, concrete which has been in a hardened state for at least sixty days, masonry, asphalt paving fragments, and other inert solids. �f Christopher L. Varra, President Varra Companies, Inc. (d) The backfilling commenced on an initial level to provide for stockpiling near the point of entry. Active backfilling will not extend beyond this point except to provide for stockpiling at these entry points until this Notice has been approved by DMG. Depending upon the rate at which material is generated on-site or secured from off-site locations, the rate of fill is expected to occur over a period of (10) years, or approximately 1.2 surface acres per year. (e) The backfilled lake will create a level surface suitable for agricultural, or if provided for by subsequent permit modification, a wetlands bank. Finished fill will have a cap of overburden (including 6 inches of soil) a minimum of two (2) feet in depth. (f) Voids and settling will be avoided by placement of material into an inundated medium. Fines generated from the wash plant are constantly emptied into the pond at an approximate rate of 30,000 tons per year and will settle into voids displacing the water until the existing basin is filled. Per Part (10) and (11), all mined material to be disposed of within the affected area will be handled in such a manner as to prevent any unauthorized release of pollutants to the surface drainage system; and, no unauthorized release of pollutants to groundwater shall occur from any materials mined, handled or disposed of within the permit area. - end - DMG Backfill Notice for Varra Companies, Inc. - Pit #1 - Permit M-74-052 2
