potential" future uses of groundwater. We are in the process of applying for a well
permit and are preparing a Temporary Substitute Water Supply Plan to augment
evaporative losses from the ponds.
The mining and reclamation plans have been designed to account for the safety and
protection of wildlife on the mine site and at the processing area.
Topsoil shall be removed and segregated from other spoil. Topsoil stockpiles shall be
stored in places and configurations to minimize erosion and located in areas where
disturbance by ongoing mining operations will be minimized. Once stockpiled, topsoil
shall be re-handled as little as possible.
In those areas where revegetation is part of the reclamation plan, land shall be
revegetated in a manner that establishes a diverse, effective, and long-lasting
vegetative cover that is capable of self-regeneration without continued dependence on
irrigation or fertilizer and is at least equal in extent of cover to the natural vegetation of
the surrounding area.
The Operator will post appropriate signage at the entrance to the mine site.
(dJ Plans for topsoil segregation, preservation and replacement; for stabilization, compaction and
grading of spoil; and for revegetation.
Topsoil shall be removed and segregated from other spoil. Please refer to the Mining Plan
Map in Exhibit C for general locations of stockpiles. For reclamation, topsail will be replaced
by a scraper and generally graded with a blade. Grading shall be done in a manner that
controls erosion and siltation of the affected land to protect areas outside the affected land
from slides and other damage. In addition, backfilling and grading shall be completed as soon
as feasible after the mining process.
Final grading will create a final topography that is appropriate for the final land use. For
example, final grading of the reservoirs will replace material at a maximum 3:1 slope to meet
the grade at the top of the banks. Topsoil will be uniformly placed and spread on areas
disturbed by the mining, above the anticipated high water line. The minimum thickness shall
be to 12 inches above the surrounding finished grade. The topsoil shall be keyed to the
underlying and surrounding material by the use of harrows, rollers or other equipment suitable
for the purpose.
In those areas where revegetation is part of the reclamation plan, the Operator will revegetate
the land in such a manner so as to establish a diverse, effective, and long-lasting vegetative
cover that is capable of self-regeneration without continued dependence on irrigation or
fertilizer and is at least equal in extent of cover to the natural vegetation of the surrounding
area. Seed will be drilled and mulched.
The revegetation seeding and plant list on the Reclamation Plan Map contains the preferred
species of grass, (orbs and shrubs to be planted, the hydraulic regime and the approximate
height of the plantings.
Seeding will take place once final grading and replacement of topsoil have been completed for
each phase. Timing of seeding will be consistent with standard horticultural practice for
dryland applications -generally between late September and the middle of April to assure
