JUN-18-L999 15 51 9RNDC0~ INC. P.01 <br />.' • <br />~' <br />MINING AREA RECLAMATION <br /> <br />i <br />ThEa area subject to actual mining operations comprises the <br />Animas River bed within the confines of the existing channel. <br />Topsoil and vegetation are non-existent in this area and <br />reclamation procedures here will consist of removing and grading <br />all isolation dikes, haul roads, and other surface irregular- <br />I~ ities created by mining activities to conform with the undis- <br />'~ tur~bed DOrtions of the river channel. All grading will be <br />accomplished in such a manner to control erosion of the affected <br />lard and land proximate thereto. <br />These procedures would occur annually after all mining operations <br />have been completed and prior to the seasonal high water flows, <br />thus assuring minimal disturbance in the areas of flowing water. <br />During the first period of low water flow subsequent to cess- <br />ation of mining operations, the river bed would be graded as <br />discussed above, and ail equipment or materials foreign to <br />the river bed removed therefrom. <br />PROCESSING AREA RECLAMATION <br />I! Under TR-02, SANDCO proposes to withdraw any post-mining reclam- <br />ation as we plan to use this site for processing indefinately. <br />La Plata County has recognized this site as COMM-IND along with <br />others including the Mesa Pit, which is directly south of us <br />and is currently designated as COMM-IND with CMLRB. <br />TOTRL P.01 <br />
