<br />represented on the Pre-mining/Mining Plan Map as specified in the Rules. These details must be <br />represented in the proper exhibits so they can be found readily in the future. <br />6. Please indicate where topsoil and overburden stockpiles will be located for each phase. <br />EXHIBIT D -MINING PLAN <br />1. The mine plan section does not detail any of the earthmoving process. <br />Please review the requirements for this exhibit and submit the required information. <br />2- Please indicate the maximum size of the excavation area to be disturbed at any one time. <br />3. Please propose a timetable for each mining phase. <br />4. Though asphalt batch plants and fuel storage tanks, etc. may be portable, they often remain on <br />site for extended periods of time. <br />Please submit plans for a spill containment structure to properly store these materials. <br />5. Please be aware that, while the proposed mine plan discusses the possibility of a maximum of <br />1 5 trips per hour utilizing the haul route, the CDOT permit for the highway access has limited <br />the maximum trips per hour to 5. <br />The operator will need to notify CDOT, and receive their approval to increase the maximum no. <br />of trips per hour, before exceeding the 5 trip per hour limitation. <br />EXHIBIT E -RECLAMATION PLAN <br />1. Backfilling and grading must not leave slopes steeper than 2h:1v. The Reclamation Plan and <br />cross section indicate 1 h:1 v slopes from 10 feet below the pond surface to the bottom of the <br />pond. <br />Please revise the Reclamation Plan map and text to indicate maximum reclaimed slopes of 2h:1v. <br />Additionally, the 3h:1v slopes must extend from at least 5 feet above the water surface to at <br />least 10 feet below the water surface. The 5 feet above can only be reduced if the elevation of <br />the ground surface does not extend to a height of 5 feet above the water elevation. Please <br />revise the reclamation plan text accordingly. <br />2. Reclamation of roads and the facilities area are not discussed in the reclamation plan. <br />Please revise the reclamation plan and cost estimate to include detailed plans for reclamation of <br />these areas as well as the excavation area. Include proposed surfacing, grade, erosion control <br />(wind and water), etc. <br />3. The proposed seed mix for the wildlife area is not recommended for this type of post-mining <br />land use. <br />It is recommended that the operator contact the Colorado Division of Wildlife for a more <br />appropriate and diverse seed mix. <br />
