_~.. (h) specify how much water will be used in conjunction with the operation, and the source of this water; (i) if groundwater will be encountered and/or surface water intercepted or disturbed, describe how mining will affect the quantity and quality of the surface or groundwater and the methods to be used to minimize disturbance to the surface and groundwater systems including proposed dewatering, sedimentcontainment or chemical treatment systems, storm water run-off controls, and groundwater points of compliance; (j) specify how you will comply with applicable Colorado water laws and regulations governing injury to existing water rights; (k) if refuse and acid or toxic producing materials aze exposed during mining, describe how they shall be handled and disposed of in a manner that will control unsightliness and protect the drainage system from pollution; (1) describe what measures will be taken to minimi~r disturbance to the hydrologic balance, prevent off-site damage, and provide for a stable configuration of the reclaimed area consistent with the proposed future land use; and (m) specify whether the deposit will be processed on-site. If the deposit will be processed, then describe the nature of the process, facilities and chemicals utilized. The process azea and any structures must be described on Exhibit E -Map. (n) identify the primary and secondary commodities to be mined/extracted and describe the intended use; and (o) name and describe the intended use of all expected incidental products to be mined/extracted by the proposed operation. F.XATRiT P - Reclamation Plan !Role 63_dle (1) The purpose of the Reclamation Plan is to describe the timing, procedures, criteria and materials that will be used to reclaim the affected land to the proposed future land use. This plan must be correlated to Exhibit E -Map. The description of the Reclamation Plan must be adequate to satisfy the requirements of Section 3.1 and demonstrate compliance with Rule 3. At a minimum, the Application shall include the following inforrnation: (a) specify at what point in the mining plan and to what depth(s) overburden will be replaced in relation to ongoing extraction. (b) specify the maximum gradient of reclaimed slopes (horizontal:vertical). If the Application proposes slopes steeper than 3:1, you must include a justification that supports steeper slopes for the proposed post-mining land use, and demonstrates compliance with the applicable performance standazds of Section 3.1. (c) specify the measures that will be taken to revegetate the site, if applicable, including: (i) The thickness of plant growth medium to be replaced. Sample and analyze available soils sufficiently to establish quantity and quality;
