1 <br /> irrigate the property. The system should be designed to allow for maximum use of <br /> ' available water. <br /> At the completion of the re-contouring of the site, a 6 to 8 inch layer of good quality <br /> topsoil should be placed in all disturbed areas and revegetated with both irrigated and non- <br /> irrigated pasture grasses, per the approved reclamation mining permit issued by the MLRB <br /> to the operators of the property. <br /> In summary,Exhibit IX-2, Recommendations for the Final Reclamation Plan, are: <br /> * Strengthen the site perimeter berm so that it can be certified as a flood protection <br /> ' levee by FEMA. <br /> * Establish an environmental enhancement area and possibly a wetland bank on the <br /> ' property south and southeast of the property. <br /> * Minimize open water(14.2 acres or less) <br /> ' * Minimize the size of the interceptor channel west of the site perimeter berm. If <br /> unable to accomplish this due to need to balance cuts and fills, at a minimum <br /> ' construct a narrow secondary channel within the interceptor channel to minimize <br /> establishment of wetlands within the interceptor channel. <br /> * Locate interim road (gravel) system for site maintenance. <br /> ' Locate of Dry Creek No. 2 irrigation laterals or lease water rights. <br /> * Provide minimum 6 to 8-inches of good quality topsoil and re-vegetate area. <br /> * Install piezometers to monitor the groundwater levels. <br /> * Provide groundwater control measures to minimize wetlands from forming in <br /> developable areas. <br /> ' Exhibit IX-3, Recommended Modifications to the Deepe Pit and Turnpike Pit Reclamation <br /> Plans, defines a revised recommended grading plan which incorporates removing several <br /> proposed lakes, allowing for an interior drainage swale (no larger than 200-feet wide) <br /> while maintaining positive drainage, and revising grades in a cursory manner in an attempt <br /> ' -29- <br />
