<br />Removal of Man-Made Structures <br />The mine site also contains fuel tanks, metal scraps, machinery, waterlines, and other equipment <br />that will be removed as part of the reclamation process. Some of these objects aze remnants from <br />mining activity occurring before the Reclatttetion Act. The powerlines will remina in place <br />unless removed by Public Service Company. <br />1~]aterials Handling <br />Grading of the site will be done in a manner to a gentle sloping southwest facing landform. <br />Sloping will be no steeper than 3H:1 V. <br />The pit areas will be completely backfilled with the processed sand and gravel. The backfilled <br />azeas will be compacted to ensure they aze stabile and to minimize erosion. As backfilling <br />occurs, the heavy equipment will drive over the backfilled azeas and compact the material. <br />Backfilling will immediately follow the mining progress to keep up with the plan of concurrent <br />reclamation. All grading of the backfilled azeas will be done before placement of topsoil. <br />Water <br />This operation will not adversely affect hydrologic balance and water quality. Disturbance to the <br />hydrologic balance and water quality will be protected by: <br />1) Compliance with applicable Colorado Water Laws and Regulations governing injury to <br />existing water rights. <br />2) Compliance with applicable Federal and Colorado Water Quality Laws and Regulations. <br />Refer to the original application for more details. <br />This operation has a stormwater dischazge permit but requires a Stormwater Management Plan. <br />Wildlife <br />All aspects of the mining and reclamation plan will take into account the safety and protection of <br />wildlife on the mine site, at the processing site, and along the roads in the mine site. Special <br />attention will be given to critical periods in the life cycle of those species which require special <br />consideration. There are no known endangered or threatened species with habitats at the mine <br />site. <br />osiin <br />Topsoil will be removed and stockpiled sepazately from overburden. If the topsoil is anticipated <br />to be stockpiled for longer than one growing season it will be reseeded. <br />E-2 <br />
