<br />(7) Maximum slopes and slope combinations shall be compatible with the configuration of the <br />surrounding conditions and selected land use. Where the pit does not daylight, backsloping during <br />mining will be completed at a slope of 3H:1 V or flatter. No lakes or ponds aze designed for the final <br />reclamation, which is rangeland. Therefore, no swimming areas are proposed. <br />(8) The OperatorslApplicant's and Landowners' choice of rangeland reclamation for cattle <br />production will require slopes of 3H:1 V or flatter in order to establish good cattle grazing areas, and <br />to prevent erosion. Farm machinep~ will be used only at the time of revegetation and will not be a <br />factor long range. <br />(9) The Operator/Applicant, in conjunction with the landowners, may decide to use rejecboverburden <br />[o fill aeeas outside the permit boundary to improve the rangeland on the landowners adjacent lands. <br />The operator will notify the office (DMG-MLRB) of any proposed backfill activity not identified in <br />the approved Reclamation Plan. However, this option has some merit only if excess <br />reject/overburden is generated. <br />(a) No specific location has been chosen at this time. <br />(b) Volume of inert material to be backtilled would have [o be determined if this option is <br />adopted. <br />(c) A signed affidavit will be supplied certifying that [he material is clean and inert, if this <br />option is taken. <br />(d) No date of proposed activity can be given at this time. If this option is chosen, the office <br />will be notified. <br />(e) Backfilled areas will be done in order to increase grazing land, and thus all operations will <br />be done in a manner compatible with the surrounding rangeland contours and stability. <br />(~ All backfilled areas will be compacted to industry standards for general field backfilling. <br />If this operation is chosen, the operator will supply a general enginering plan to the office <br />(DMG-MLRB) for review. <br />(10) All mined material will be handled in such a manner so as to prevent any unauthorized <br />pollutants to the surface drainage system. The sand and gravel stockpiles will be located and <br />arranged to avoid any runoff of stonnwater into the major drainage of Smith Hollow or the Rocky <br />Ford Highline Canal north of this project. <br />(11) No groundwater pollutants will be released at this site. This mine is a high and dry area, and <br />the deposit is sand and gravel with no known pollutants. <br />3.1.6 Water -General Requirements <br />
