The facilities area will be graded to approximate original contour. The <br />final elevation will be approximately 2-5 feet higher than the original <br />surface. The surface owner has requested that the area be graded in this <br />manner to provide a better grazing area for his livestock. The <br />backfilled material will be pi aced to minimize adverse effects to ground <br />water, to minimize off-site effects, and to support the postmining Land <br />use. Upon completion of grading this area, about 6 inches of topsoil <br />will be imported and spread over this area. <br />The operation is in compliance with the requirements of this section. <br />XVIII.
