' ERHIBIT E (Cont'd) <br />no drill holes or auger holes remaining and has no addit:> or <br />' shafts. <br />' There are to be no earth dams. <br />No toxic or acid-forming material cvill be encountered or <br />' used in the operation. <br />All refuse will be disposed of by either hauling it away <br />' or by properly burying it in the backfill areas so that <br />' unsightliness and deleterious effects will be controlled. <br />In those areas where revegetation is part of the re- <br />' clamation plan, land will be revegetated in such a way a:. to <br />establish a diverse, effective, and long-lasting vegetative <br />' cover that is capable of self-regeneration and at least equal <br />' in extent of cover to the natural vegetation of the surrounding <br />area. Refer to the revegetation program later in this E~:hibit <br />E for details. <br />Overburden and soil removal and storage are discussed <br />' in Exhibit D. The non-soil overburden stored for each si:age <br />' of mining will be returned to the mined area when the re-~ <br />clamation phase starts. It will be used as backfill and <br />' slope fill material. Soils will be used to cover areas i:o <br />be revegetated to a depth of at least 6 inches. <br />t The operator's intention is to minimize disturbances to <br />the prevailing hydrologic balance of the affected land arcd of <br />the surrounding area and to the quality and quantity of water <br />in surface and ground water systems during and after re- <br />clamation. Valco believes it is in compliance with Federal <br />' 13 <br />
