` EIT E - HECLAI'~.Iiuh rLAI~ • <br />Hawkeye Mine - Pioneer Uravan, Inc. <br />October 2, 1978 <br />The Hawkeye Mine is an existing mine owned by the U. S. Department <br />of Energy. What little topsoil is available on the disturbed site will <br />be removed, stockpiled and seeded (to prevent erosion) in the area out- <br />lined on the detailed map (Exhibit C-2). <br />M~ <br />All buildings, fuel tanks, equipment, power lines and other man made <br />improvements will be removed. Portals will be sealed. All rock dumps, <br />roads, building sites and other disturbances will be re-contoured when <br />possible (according to the U. S. Department of Energy requirements), <br />covered with the previously stockpiled topsoil and seeded with the follow- <br />ing seed mixture recommended by the U. S. Department of Energy: <br />SPECIES <br />POUNDS PER ACRE <br />Sand Dropseed ~ 1J2 <br />Indian Rice Grass 2 <br />4 Wing Saltbush 3 <br />Crested Wheat Grass 3 <br />[destern Wheat Grass 3 <br />Yellow Sweet Clover 2 <br />~ Total 13 1/2 <br />Pioneer Uravan will follow a plan of reclamation suitable for wild- <br />life habitat, dry range land and for recreational uses as set forth by the <br />U. S. Department of Energy at that future time when mining operations are <br />completed. <br />The portal can only be temporarily sealed as required by the U. S. <br />Department of Energy. Erosion of rock dump slopes is virtually non-existant <br />due to the airid climate. The minor amount of erosion which does occur will <br />be controlled by strategic placement of rip rap material. <br />
