(b) a statement that a reclamation permit for the operation has been issued by <br />the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board; and <br />(c) the permit number. <br />(2) The boundaries of the affected area will be marked with monuments, that are clearly <br />visible: <br />(a) This is a 112 operation, therefore, the permit boundary and the affected <br />boundary are not the same, and the operatorJapplicant is proposing a floating bond to <br />cover a portion of the site, to allow mining and reclamation to be ongoing. <br />(3) The affected land will be monumented for easy delineation. <br />------ END applicable Requirements of Section 3.1 <br />(d) Where applicable, the operator/applicant has plans developed for the segregation, <br />preservation, replacement, compaction and grading of soil used for revegetation. The <br />revegetation plan will contain a list of the preferred species of grasses to be planted as <br />recommended by the field office of the NRCS. All seeds recommended should be <br />available and in sufficient quantity to accomplish the revegetation. <br />Seedbed preparation has been covered in Section 3.1 of this application. <br />(e) The schedule of reclamation will closely follow the mining phasing, and the operator <br />would expect to start reclamation as soon as feasible after mining has been completed. <br />The final grading also will be done in conjunction with mining. All backsloping and <br />contouring will be done as mining progresses. <br />Measures that will be taken to revegetate the site: <br />(i) Basin side slopes will be graded to a maximum 3H:1 V to 10 feet below <br />the expected average water surface level. Side slopes below this will be <br />graded to a maximum 2H:1V. Side slopes above the expected average <br />water surface level and any other disturbed areas will be topsoiled to a <br />depth of 4-6" and revegetated. The floor of the basin will be graded and <br />smoothed but not topsoiled as not to inhibit recharge. See maps. <br />(ii) Time of seeding, seedbed preparation, type, application rate and soil <br />incorporation, method of fertilization application. <br />Fall seeding is preferred and proposed if at all possible. The seedbed will <br />be scarified and it will be across the slope in the backsloped area. Seed <br />will be drilled rather than broadcast. No fertilization is proposed. Straw or <br />grass hay will be applied at the rate of 4,000#/A. <br />
