Include such items as the removal of structures and facilities including bridges and culverts, a revegetation plan, permanent containment of mine tailings, waste, or sludges which pose a threat of a release into the environment, closing ponds and eliminating standing water, a final surface shaping plan, and post operations monitoring and maintenance plans. ee Exhibit F "Reclamation" he Environmental Asse ment Decision Notice and FONSI an the Base Reclamation PI n as submitted to the lorado Division of Minerals and Geolo not attached to the o eratin Ian rovide com rehensive details of he reclamation activities. eneral descri lion of the reclamation is as follow he reclamation hase of the enhanced reclamation ro ect would follow the roduction hase as minin ro resses from west to east. Final reclamation would be com leted one to two ears after minin has been m leted. Both base and enhanced reclamation on rivate land would be im lemented as it is on NF land. he reclam lion of 26 acres of National Forest land will be done in accordance with a licable USDA-NRCS ec'rfications standards and uidleines. USDA Forest Service standards s ecific to the use of lant material and eeded s sties from local native lants will also I to the reclamation activities. The reclamation Ian escribed below includes erformance standards monitorin Ian to track erformance and lans for corrective coon if erformance standards are not bein achieved. The Forest Service to ether with Castle Concrete Burin he reclamation activities to ensure the use of the BMP's at the site. Minin rocess would allow reclamation on slo es of 2:1 with the exce lion of cliffs. To the extent racti al the st-minin contours will be sha ed to simulate natural to ra hit conditions. Prior to minin lar a trees would be harvested. Slash brush and residual lant material on the NF land would be tri ed alon with the to soil and stoC filed, Subsoil will be stored se eratel from the first lift of to soil. Reclamation radin includin slo a backfill to soil lacement and lantin would roceed from the west one rrentl with minin downslo a to the east. to ed back-walls would be created on each bench with sta ered drillin de hs. Then decom sed ranite and limestone would b used as backfill to create a subsoil of one to fifteen feet thick. Excess ranite materials remov from NF land would be moved to the north end of the la back to be in onstruction of the northern access road. This activ' would continue until tha road is com leted most like ithin two ears of the st rt u orb late 2003. he to soil laced on the disturbed areas would be limited to a maximum thickness of 1 to 1 'k fee on NF land and feet on rivate land. reas covered with to soil would then be seeded referab within 5 da s followin mechanical rou henin of the urta a crust.
