<br />EXHIBIT E (Cont'd) <br />grading will be completed as soon as feasible after the mining <br />process. Any refuse will be handled and disposed of in a <br />manner that will control unsightliness and protect the drainage <br />system from pollution. There are no acid-forming or toxic materi- <br />als involved in this operation. There will be no drill or auger <br />holes left on the land. Maximum slopes will be within the limits <br />set forth in the Rules and Regulations of the Board, and most <br />slopes will be capable of being traversed by farm machinery. <br />This is a dry operation <br />Water is not a consideration of <br />standards in this operation. <br />It is questionable whether wildlife in the area can be <br />further disturbed considering the location of this operation. <br />In removing the topsoil and overburden to reach the mineral <br />deposit, the topsoil and overburden will be segregated and stock- <br />piled separately. If the topsoil is not replaced in a back- <br />filled area within a short enough time to avoid deterioration, <br />vegetative cover and other means will be employed to preserve <br />the topsoil from wind and weather erosion and keep it free of <br />contaminants so that it is useful for sustaining vegetation <br />when reclamation begins. Topsoil stockpiles will be maintained <br />to minimize erosion. The stockpiles will be located in areas <br />where disturbances by ongoing mining operations will be at a <br />minimum. The topsoil will be handled as little as possible <br />until it is replaced in disturbed areas. The operator will take <br />measures neessary to insure the stability of the replaced top- <br />soil on graded slopes, spreading it as evenly as possible. <br />Fertilizer and other soil amendments will be used as required <br />-21- <br />
