<br />Banks and Gesso, LLC <br />Reservoir will progress southward during Phase 1. This will allow mining with a <br />near vertical face along the south, west and north mining limits in Area 1. <br />The Applicant will correct the concrete river bank protection along the <br />southeastern portion of the South Reservoir, prior to mining within 100 feet of the <br />river bank in this area. Corrective actions will consist of the following: <br />1. Remove the existing concrete slabs and process to appropriate size <br />2. Regrade the existing slope to 2.5:1 <br />3. Place 2 foot thickness of rubblized concrete on slope, extending 3 feet <br />below existing river thalweg <br />4. Veneer the rubblized concrete with crushed stone riprap, per UD&FCD <br />5. Cover the riprap with top-soil, re-seed with native grasses <br />6. Stake with willows, per UDBFCD's planting guidelines. <br />Phase 2 <br />After the South Reservoir has been mined, trees located in the Central Reservoir <br />area will be removed as part of the stripping operations. Mining will begin south <br />of the existing processing plant, and progress southward. The oil pipelines <br />throughout the Central reservoir will be relocated to the western permit boundary, <br />prior to mining, to minimize interruptions to the oil production on the property. <br />Since the slurry wall and compacted clay liner will have already been constructed <br />in Phase 1, the Applicant anticipates no adverse effects of the dry-mining <br />operations on nearby wells. Excess overburden and clay materials will be sold <br />Brighton Mine Amendment 1 q 20007WD <br />CAMAS Colorado, INC. May 2000 <br />
