E-8 <br />U <br />A total of 42,].07 cu. yds. of topsoil was stockpiled. <br />Approximately 10.6 inches of topsoil will be available to cover <br />process area for reclamation. <br />Grading <br />In preparation for. reclamation, all disturbed areas will be <br />graded to slopes consistent with the surrounding area. Grading <br />will also be done in a manner so as to control erosion and <br />siltation of the affected and unaffected lands. Erosion control <br />measures such as contour furrowing, installing water bars, etc., <br />will be used where necessary to ensure that slope and soil <br />• erosion are kept to a minimum. Surface drainage patterns will be <br />re-established to pre-mining conditions. <br />In certain areas, production wells will be located where slopes <br />are greater than 3:1. In these cases special precautions will be <br />taken to minimize erosion, both during and after operation of <br />these portions of the well field. Water bars and ditches will be <br />used during operation to minimize potential adverse erosion <br />impacts. Reclamation of these areas will incorporate water bars <br />and contour furrowing to aid in erosion control. <br />Surface Preparation <br />Where necessary, heavily compacted surfaces will be ripped prior <br />• to receiving a topsoil cover from the topsoil stockpiles. <br />
