(~svls~~ <br />RECLAMATION PLAN: <br />As described in the Mine Plan section of this permit submittal, the operation is designed to create three <br />slightly sloped benches on property located within the city limits of Ouray. The fmal land use proposed for <br />this property is wmmercial or light industrial. Some common types of use proposed for the property <br />following mining include a car wash facilityand/or storage lockers. With [his in mind, the operator is will <br />reclaim the regraded north highwall only. The west and south facing highwalls will be left intact to <br />maximize building azea. Al[ reclaimed slopes will be regraded to 3: t or less and then covered with <br />approximately 6 inches of suitable plant growth medium. Following placement of suitable material, the <br />areas will be hand broadcast with the seed mix in Table RP-1. Weed free hay or straw will then be hand <br />broadcast over the seed and the area dozer tracked to assure a proper seed bed. Reclamation will be <br />contiguous with mining during the life of the operation. Once a bench is mined out those slopes requiring <br />reclamation will be sloped and seeded within one year. <br />A test of the suitable topsoil substitute will be made during the fvst year of operation. The operator will <br />make a small plot of the material and phut the seed type shown below an it to insure that vegetation will be <br />successful once reclamation commences. <br />No overburden will be replaced under this proposed operation. Riprap not sold commercially will be used <br />to armor the proposed channel. Where available, the operator may transplant trees from in front of the <br />mining operation to the north regraded slopes. <br />All access roads created during mining will remain intact following mining to facilitate commercial use of <br />the property. <br />Table RP-1.
