Once the saleable material is excavated <br />down to the claystone bedrock, the required bedrock material to build a clay liner will be <br />excavated out at a 6 horizontal to 1 vertical slope. The clay will be processed and <br />recompacted to form a clay liner. <br />(bJ A comparison of the proposed post-mining land use to other land uses in the vicinity and to <br />adopted state and local land use plans and programs. <br />The proposed post-mining land use is compatible with the other land uses in the vicinity, which <br />includes farmland, industrial land, residences and other gravel operations.

All slopes will be compatible with <br />specified MLRB standards. <br />• Mined material to be disposed of within the affected area will be handled in such a <br />manner so as to prevent any unauthorized release of pollutants to the surface <br />drainage system. <br />• The Operator will comply with applicable Colorado water laws governing injury to <br />existing water rights and with applicable state and federal water quality and dredge <br />and fill laws and regulations. <br />The Operator will stabilize and protect all surface areas of the affected land, including <br />spoil piles so as to effectively control erosion. <br />• The Operator will comply with alt standards and conditions applicable to classified and <br />unclassified groundwater.
