• <br />• <br />(c) A description of how the Reclamation Plan wall 6e implemented to meet each applicable <br />requirement of Section 3.1. <br />The Operator will carry all reclamation to completion with reasonable diligence, and each <br />phase of reclamation shall be completed within five yeazs from the date the Operator informs <br />the Board or Office that such phase has commenced. <br />Aggregate will comply with all reclamation measures set forth in Section 3. I.S: <br />-Grading will create a final topography that is appropriate for a reservoir and proposed <br />wetlands. <br />- All grading will be performed to help control erosion and siltation of the affected lands. <br />- All backfilling and grading shall be completed as soon as feasible after the mining process. <br />- Any drill or auger holes that are part of the mining operation shall be plugged with non- <br />combustible material, which shall prevent harmful or polluting drainage. <br />- Maximum slopes and slope combinations will be compatible with the configuration of <br />surrounding conditions and selected land use. All slopes will be compatible with specified <br />MLRB standards. <br />- All mined material to be disposed of within the affected area will be handled in such a <br />manner so as to prevent any unauthorized release of pollutants to the surface drainage <br />system. <br />No unauthorized release of pollutants to groundwater will occur from any materials mined, <br />handled or disposed of within the permit area. <br />Aggregate will comply with applicable Colorado water laws governing injury to existing <br />water rights and with applicable state and federal water quality and dredge and fill laws and <br />regulations. <br />The Applicant will stabilize and protect all surface areas of the affected land, including spoil <br />piles so as to effectively control erosion. <br />Aggregate will comply with all standards and conditions applicable to classified and <br />unclassified groundwater. <br />Aggregate will protect the existing and "reasonably potential" furore uses of groundwater. <br />We are in process of applying for a well permit and required temporary substitute supply plan <br />to augment evaporative loss from the mining operation. <br />All aspects of the mining and reclamation plans will take into account the safety and <br />protection of wildlife on the mine site, at processing sites, and along all access roads to the <br />mine site with special attention given to critical periods in the life cycle of those species <br />which require special consideration. <br />Topsoil shall be removed and segregated from other spoil. Topsoil stockpiles shall be stored <br />in places and configurations to minimize erosion and located in areas where disturbance by <br />ongoing mining operations will be minimized. Once stockpiled, topsoil shall be rehandled as <br />little as possible. The topsoil used for perimeter screening berms will be seeded to dryland <br />grass or another appropriate cover crop to control weeds and prevent erosion. <br />In those areas where revegetation is part of the reclamation plan, land will be revegetated in a <br />way as to establish a diverse, effective, and long-lasting vegetative cover that is capable of <br />self-regeneration without continued dependence on irrigation or fertilizer and is at least equal <br />in extent of cover to the natural vegetation of the surrounding area. <br />Aggregate will post appropriate signage at the entrance to the mine site and the boundaries of <br />the affected site will be cleazly marked. <br />AGGREGATE INDUSTRIES, INC. - MILLIKEN RESOURCE 112 PERMIT PAGE 16 <br />
