<br />' RSCLA!lATION pLAA <br />SSHIBIT B (Continued) <br />siltation structures involved in this operation. There will be no <br />earthen dams. <br />' The mining and reclamation plans take into consideration <br />existing wildlife conditions. Mining operations have been an <br />integral part of the land use in this area since 1941 or earlier. <br />The mining and reclamation plans take into account the safety <br />and protection of wildlife remaining on the mine site, at the <br />' processing sites and along all access roads to the site. Wildlife <br />habitat creation and management is not a specific part of the <br />' reclamation plan. However, whenever possible, the operator will <br />work toward the improvement of the habitat for wildlife. <br />Topsoil in the area is either nonexistent or extremely poor <br />in quality. When topsoil must be removed to reach the mineral <br />' deposit, the topsoil will be segregated and stockpiled. If the <br />topsoil stockpiles are not to be disturbed within a short enough <br />period of time, one year, they will seeded with a vegetative cover <br />' or other means will be employed to preserve the topsoil from wind <br />and weather erosion and keep it free of contaminants so that it remains <br />' useful for sustaining vegetation when reclamation begins. The <br />stockpiles will be located in areas where disturbances by ongoing <br />' mining operations will be at a minimum; ie. along the sides of <br />each stage. The topsoil will be handled as little as possible <br />' until it is replaced into disturbed areas. The operator will take <br />measured necessary to insure the stability of the replaced topsoil <br />on graded slopes, spreading it as evenly a possible. <br />RBCLAMATION TIlO;TABLe <br />' <br /> <br />Phase <br /> <br />year <br />I <br />s Total Acres <br />Revege- <br />tation + <br /> <br />Road <br />Undist- <br />urbed <br /> 0 4-6 7.59 6.92 0.41 0.26 <br />' 1 4-6 21.05 19.78 0.59 0.68 <br /> 2 4-6 23 .23 * 2.2,.Q.Q 0.57 0 .25 <br /> TOTALS 51.87 48.79 1.57 1.19 <br />' * <br /> Contains 0.32 acres ± of pre-law mined ar ea. <br />1 <br />17 <br />
