R-14 <br />(2) (cont.) <br />(b) The area comprising the mine property and the surrounding lands are <br />designated as residential use on the Florida Mesa Land-Use Plan. The <br />property shown as "Commercial and Retail" (attached) is currently <br />designated as commercial use on the same plan. This tract will be: <br />developed as commercial and/ or light industrial use upon the <br />cessation of mining operations. Specifically, the intended use is a a a <br />retail outlet of landscape materials. <br />(c) Implementation of the Alternative Reclamation Plan pursuant to <br />Section 3.1 is described as follows: <br />The lands on which mining will take place are owned by the <br />Operator/ Applicant, with the exception of the Fassbender property <br />as shown on Exhibit G. It is the desire of both parties to reciain <br />Phases A, B, C, and D to irrigated pastureland. Phase E will bps <br />reclaimed to provide suitable dry rangeland. <br />Post-mining grading of all affected areas will be performed to rneet <br />the topographic requirements for irrigation of Phases A, B, C, ~3nd D <br />and to provide appropriate drainage within Phase E. Erosion and <br />siltation will be controlled throughout the reclamation process :>uch <br />that lands outside of the affected area will not be impacted. <br />Proposed measures include placement of siltation control devices, <br />such as filtration fences or excelsior matting. Erosion will be <br />controlled with rip-rap, gabion baskets and/or other best practises. <br />Neither refuse nor acid-forming ortoxic-producing materials are <br />expected to be mined. Should any of these materials be <br />discovered, they will be handled and disposed of in an accept<rble <br />manner at the cessation of mining. <br />(d) Within phases A, B, C, and D topsoil will be removed and placed in <br />segregated berms along the perimeter of each mining cell as shown on <br />Exhibit C. Additionally it is proposed to employ topsoil berms alon3 the <br />western mining limits of phases A and B to act as detention for <br />potential stormwater. As discussed earlier, topsoil will be revegete~ted <br />and maintained until it is replaced post-mining. <br />Phase E possesses little to no topsoil. It is proposed that a portion of <br />the upper zone of overburden be removed from this phase, set aside <br />and seeded with dry land seed to provide organic stability. <br />Methods and rates of reseeding during reclamation are as follows: <br />7 <br />
