After the site has been released by the Board, the Landowners may allow <br />public access if it is deemed beneficial. Part 46 of MSHA will be followed on this site. <br />3.1.5 Reclamation Measures -Material handling <br />(1) Grading shall be carried on so as to create a final topography appropriate to the final land use <br />selected in the Reclamation Plan. <br />(2) When backfilling of the excavated area will consist of overburden and/or any inert materials <br />which may be hauled in from off site..... <br />Additionally all backfill material will be compacted in place to insure stability. No toxic or <br />acid-forming materials will be on site nor will any be delivered to this mine site. <br />(3) All grading shall be done in a manner [o control erosion and siltation of affected lands. <br />Best Management practices of mining will be used to protect areas outside the affected land from <br />slides and other damage. No highwalls are planned at this open pit mine. <br />(4) All backfilling and grading will be completed as soon as feasible after the mining process. The <br />operator will establish reasonable timetables consistent with good mining and reclamation <br />procedures. Grading of backslopes will be as mining is occurring, and the pit floor will be contoured <br />for seeding as mining proceeds. <br />Topsoiling will be accomplished after mining has moved away far enough to make it practical for <br />seedbed prep and seeding. Also, time of year and weather conditions will play a role in [his timing. <br />(5) No refitse will be generated by this mining operation for cleaning and preparation of substances <br />mined. No acid-forming or toxic-producing materials will be mined or used for processing at this <br />sand and gravel mining -processing plan[. Therefore, no plans have been developed for their <br />handling. <br />(6) There will not be any drill or auger }toles unfilled after mining. All exploration will most likely <br />be done with small bore coring by a trained crew or by backhoe in selected areas, artd after discovery, <br />all holes shall be backfilled as soon as possible. No adits or shafts will be employed in this open pit. <br />
