2. a. type of reclamation -the reclamation will be to reapply stockpiled topsoil once excavation has ceased in a certain azea, it was chosen since the pit will generate this soil, the amount of acreage is the entire pit except for an existing pond (low azea appazently constructed after coal mining activities ceased) that this operation will not disturb and reclamation of excavated sites may take place as we excavate different areas using these materials to reclaim the previously excavated areas b. the pit will be reclaimed to a rangeland use, the same as the other land uses in the vicinity c. i. 3.1.1 post mining use rangeland ii. 3.1.2 not applicatable iii. 3.1.3 see section 6.4.4 iv. 3.1.4 no public use v. 3.1.5 1. as the perimeter of the pit is excavated, a 3:1 slope will be maintained. If not, waste material will be placed at a 3:1. 2. where backfilling is used, compaction will be accomplished by the equipment accomplishing the backfilling 3. grading will be done to no steeper than a 3:1 slope at the perimeter of the pit 4. see section 6.4.4 5. no refuse and acid forming or toxic should be mined b. no drill or auger holes should be used 7. finished slopes will be no steeper than 3:1 except in azeas where no mining activities will take place (existing slopes) 8. rangeland 9. no structural materials will be used to backfill 10. all disposal material will be handled with equipment that will ensure no pollution releases into the drainage system 11. no release of pollutants will occur from materials vi. 3.1.6 1. see section 6.4.4 2. see section 6.4.4 3. topsoil stockpiles will be seeded as per the NRCS's recommendation vii. 3.1.7 1. this operation is not expected to directly effect groundwater systems viii. 3.1.8 1. since this is an expansion of a current 110 permit, the same wildlife considerations will be employed for this expansion 2. habitat management and creation is not par[ of the reclamation plan ix. 3,1.9
