• Exhibit Page 16 • (grazing) use. Properties to the south include two parcels with predominantly residential use, one apparently seasonal, and one agricultural parcel (with a residence). Use for mining and after reclamation for developed water resource and pastureland conforms with both immediate land use and land use in the general area (5 miles up and down stream). COMPLIANCE WITH RECLAMATION STANDARDS (6.4.5.(2)c.) In demonstration of compliance with state standards (Rule 3.1), the following information is provided. Please referto maps in Exhibit F. There is no reason to believe that toxic oracid-forming, or toxic producing materials are found on site. Thereforo no special action is necessary to prevent leaching, protect the drainage system, or prevent unauthorized release of pollutants to surface water or groundwater, beyond that necessary for erosion control. Grading (3.1.5(1)) and Backfilling (3.1.5(2)) Mining faces will be a vertical slope; with topsoil stockpiles placed above the face. Excess fines will also be stored in stockpiles; primarily above the mining face but also on the final floor of the pit, where they will form the base for ridges dividing the three ponds. Fines stored on top of the face will be cut, together with the face, to 1V:3H to 4H resulting in a slope approximately 20 ieet high and 60 to 80 feet wide. Excess material will be moved to adjacent faces and graded to create similar slopes. See cross-sections in Exhibit E-1. Backfill (with compaction) and grading will be done to provide an irregular but stable shoreline for the ponds (to avoid the appearance of lagoons, as requested by neighbors). Grading to control erosion, siltation and prevent damage (3.1.5(3)) Grading will be done so that erosion and sediment is conVolled on affected lands and so that there is no damage to areas outside the effected land. All highwalls (mining faces) will be eliminated, and final slopes will be below the angle of repose to prevent potential slides or other damage on affected lands or outside the permit boundary. The reclamation grading is designed so that there is no change in baseline flood elevations on-site or downstream. Performance as soon as feasible (3.1.5(4)) Some areas, such as those involved in the replacemenUimprovement of the Line Camp access road and the field drainage (performed prior to mining), will be reclaimed immediately. However, for most of the affected area, the time between initial disturbance and final reclamation will vary from five years to one year. Because of the size and the post-reclamation use as a developed water resource and the need to dewater when mining the lower level, it is not possible to reclaim significant portions of the site until almost all mining is done. Backfilling, grading, and placement of topsail should be accomplished within one year of completion of extraction of construction materials, with seeding to follow as soon as possible based on recommendations (See Exhibit J). Refuse and acid-forming or toxic producing materials (3.1.5(5)) See introductory paragraph. Prior to reclamation, stockpiles of fines will either be placed in berths and seeded, or contained within berths to prevent unsightliness. See Detail Cross-Section E-2b. Holes, etc. (3.1.5(li)) There are no drill holes, auger holes, adits or shafts to reclaim. Maximum slopes (3.1.5(7)) Slopes as proposed are compatible with surrounding conditions and land use. See Table E-1. No swimming is anticipated as part of future use. If residual berms are left as permanent features (see below) they shall have slopes of 1V:3H or less. Use of farm equipment (3.1.5(8)) As pastureland, no use is anticipated, but slopes are compatible with such use in the area. Notice of other backfill (3.1.5(9)) The Applicant will comply with this requirement to notify the Division if other backfill is used.
