R-13 (2) (cont.) (b) The area comprising the mine property and the surrounding lands are designated as residential use on the Florida Mesa Land-Use Plan. The property shown as "Commercial and Retail" (attached) is currently designated as commercial use on the same plan. This tract will be: developed as commercial and/ or light industrial use upon the cessation of mining operations. A map labeled "Conceptual Plan" is also attached to illustrate the phases of residential and commercial post-mining development. (c) Implementation of the Reclamation Plan pursuant to Section 3.1 i:~ described as follows:" The lands on which mining will take place are owned by the Operator/ Applicant, with the exception of the Fassbender property as shown on Exhibit C. It is the desire of both parties to reclain the affected area to the extent that residential development can be: implemented. Post-mining grading of all affected areas will be pertormed to rneet the topographic requirements of the proposed development. Erosion and siltation will be controlled throughout the reclamation process such that lands outside of the affected area will not be impacted. Proposed measures include placement of siltation control devices, such as filtration fences or excelsior matting. Erosion will be controlled with rip-rap, gabion baskets and/or other best practices. Neither refuse nor acid-forming ortoxic-producing materials are expected to be mined. Should any of these materials be discovered, they will be handled and disposed of in a acceptat~le manner at the cessation of mining. (d) Within phases A, B, C, and D topsoil will be removed and placed in segregated berms along the perimeter of each mining cell as shown on Exhibit C. Additionally it is proposed to employ topsoil berms along the western mining limits of phases A and B to act as detention for potential stormwater. As discussed earlier, topsoil will be reveget~ited and maintained until it is replaced post-mining. Phase E possesses little to no topsoil. It is proposed that a portion of the upper zone of overburden be removed from this phase, set aside and seeded with dry land seed to provide organic stability. Methods and rates of reseeding during reclamation are as follows:
