Fs-zeoas 1~9s> OMB NO. 0596-0022 (E:pits 1/d1iD2) C. Project Description. Describe all aspects of the operation including mining, milling, and exploration methods, materials, equipment, worMorce, construction and operation schedule, power requirements, how clearing will be accomplished, topsoi stockpile, waste rock placement, tailings disposal, proposed number of drillholes and depth, depth of proposer suction dredging, and how gravels will be replaced, etc. Calculate production rates of ore. Include justificatio and calculations for settling pond capacities, and the size oT runoff diversion channels. Exhibit C: Is cited material from the Environmental Assessment which rovides a tom rehensive escri lion of the enhanced reclamation ro'ect. he enhanced reclamation of Pikeview guar encom sses 210 acres of rivate land and u to 2 acres of ational Forest land. The reclamation activities over the next 12 ears will la back the terrain of the National Forest lands. astle Concrete will utiliz their staff and ui ment o raters in artnershi wRh volunteers and techni i al u rt from Colorado Mountain Reclamation Foundation. The ro'ect work is scheduled in a ear round aration with minin and reclamation bein timed concurrent) .

This hase of the ro osed coon would involve the followin ste s. 1. Surve of the land ownershi boundaries the ro sad cliff slo ed hi h-wall locations and the bounds of th isturbance area would be field marked. . Construction of tam ra access roads with bulldozers. . Tree Harvest and To Soil Salva e. .Benches would be develo ed on both the north and central rid es throw h drillin and blastin o aration. Fill materials will be used initial) to construct haul roads after lacement of ulverts. . After the hi hest cliffs are constructed b re-s lit drillin and blastin the ranite in the rid es at the western e of the minin area benchin and slo a backfillin would be in on the slo a below. Slo es w ukf be no tee er than 2:1. . The lacement of to soil donated b the commun' and slot fled a the ua for use in reclamation on rivate land would be laced after the tom )aliens of each 30-40 vertical feet of slo e. No tar a amounts of onated to soil will be used on National Fore t S stem land. Sm II uanitRies of donated to soil with similar haracteristics and materials as the existin to soil can be used as soil su lamentation on NFS land. Castle oncrete will make efforts to screen th donated to soil to tom I wRh Forest Service r uirements. . The se wants resented in ste 5 and 6 would occur glen the entire western slo a of the a nded uar Phase 2 -Production 8 Reclamation: inin o erations under hase 2 include both federal lands and the alread ermitted areas. First limestone antl ranite from the lower art of the National Forest land would be hauled for rocessin and for fillip An estimated 600 000 tons of material would be used as backfill in the mined areas and about 1 900 OOO tons of material limestone and decom sad ranite would be sold as road base. Under a Mineral Material Contract with the U.S. Forest Service Catsle Concrete could tential urchase 200 000 cubic ards of fill material in a twelve month stied. Phase 3: his hase includes both minin and reclamation o erations in the current) ermitted rivate land minin area. Ise it includes the removal of rocessin and maintenance facilities for the existin uar nd final reclamation f slopes according to the 1994 base and enhanced reclamation plans.
