pond liner, the liner itself, and the retaining walls will then be removed. Finally, the chlorinator, manhole, all pumps, • and the support structure will be removed and the area backfilled.The pond embankment material will be used as backfill. Any excess embankment material will be used to supplement backfilling operations at the portal areas. The area will then be topsoiled. The topsoil will be redistributed to a depth of 6 inches over the area. Topsoil will be analyzed after to seeding and the appropriate amendments, if any, will be applied to the soil. The area will receive a pastureland seed mixture. A straw mulch will be added at the rate of two tons/acre. Fresh Water System Once the fresh water system is no longer needed to support the mining operation, the associated disturbed areas will be reclaimed. The overland water line will be disassembled and removed from the site. The pipe and all fittings will be salvaged or scrapped. Minimal disturbance will result from the removal of the line and no seeding is anticipated. The borehole will be sealed as per the requirements of Rule 4.07, Sealing of Drill Holes and Underground Openings. The storage tank will be removed prior to topsoil redistribution. The storage tank will either be salvaged or scrapped. The area will then be retopsoiled, seeded, and mulched as described above. Red Rock Crusher Once it is determined crushed red rock is no longer needed to support the mining operation; the area will be • reclaimed. Any foreign materials left at the site such as wood or steel scrap will be removed prior to reclamation. All structures including, but not limited to, the hopper, crusher, and support structure will be removed and either salvaged or scrapped. The upper bench and access road leading into to the site will be ripped to a depth of 24 inches and disced to provide an adequate seed depth. The site will then be seeded with the rangeland/wildlife seed mixture. Prior to seeding, the soil will be analyzed to determine if any soil amendments are necessary. It is anticipated the seed mixture will be planted utilizing a rangeland drill. In the event the mixture is broadcast seeded, the seeding rate will be doubled. The area will then be straw mulched with the mulch applied at the rate of two tons/acre. The entire length of the cut will be regraded to a slope of 3H:1 V. This will be done to blend the entire length of the cut into the natural topography. The regraded area will then be revegetated as discussed above. Any additional material that remains after regrading will be spread over the lower bench area. The lower bench azea will be retopsoiled with plant growth media stockpiled from the No. SA portal area. Prior to redistribution of the plant growth media, the lower bench will be ripped to a depth of 18 to 24 inches. After redistribution of the plant growth media, the material will be analyzed to determine if soil amendments are necessary. The area will then be drill seeded with the rangeland/wildlife seed mixture. The magazine site located adjacent to the red rock crusher will be reclaimed after its useful life has expired. The site will be reclaimed by removing the fence, magazines and cement pads. After this is completed, the stockpiled topsoil will be redistributed over the site. After redistribution the soil will be analyzed to determine if soil amendments are necessary. The area will then be drill seeded with the rangeland/wildlife seed mixture. . Old Shop Area (Empire Villaeel The old shop is located at the now abandoned Empire Village. The old shop and associated bone yards were Permit Renewal No. 3 2.05-30.1 7/l5/98
