RECLAMATION PLAN EXHIBIT E <br />C~ <br />~~ <br />1. Introduction <br />As previously stated, the mining of the pre-law waste gravel piles, highwalls and other <br />disturbances will provide many benefits to improve the site. The most important benefits aze <br />listed below: <br />1) Rid the site of waste gravel piles that have swelled in volume from past mining and aze <br />unsightly from all directions, including the town of Alma. <br />2) Provide a more natural smooth landscape that can be used to benefit the town, the owners and <br />wildlife. <br />3) By strict salvaging of fines from the processing plants of both the gold and gravel operations, <br />a substitute topsoil will be made to cover the vast majority of the site prior to revegetation <br />efforts. This will result in much improved vegetation for the entire site. <br />4) Provide wetland fringes along ponds that will be left on site in open space areas that can also <br />be used by wildlife. <br />5) Reclaim old highwalls left by past pre-law mining operations to the extent possible. As <br />mining continues on the site, money will be available to gradually backfill or cut/fdl these <br />highwalls. These highwalls will be reduced to a slope of 2H:1 V or less, if material is available. <br />6) Develop the final site with commercial land use along Highway 9 and residential/open space <br />use east of highway 9.Open space areas will also be used in floodplain azeas and some adjacent <br />areas of the River, as shown on Map F. <br />7) Continue to provide a 33' fishing right of way (walk in only) from the centerline of the Rivet <br />to the east bank of the River on Tmst property. <br />Map F shows the final topography and land uses of the site. <br />Alma Placer 7/03 <br />37 <br />
