• Cleaning of sediment from the trench bottom, from the literature appears <br />to be controversial. This item will be discussed and agreed upon with the <br />Division during submittal of the Technical revision. <br />• The trench width will be based on site specific conditions and will be <br />ensured by specifying that the excavation bucket be of a specified width. <br />• The completed slurry wall will be capped to protect it from desiccation, <br />traffic, and plant root growth. The contractor will be required to load the top of <br />the slurry wall using onsite material to a height of one and one half to three feet <br />above ground level. Once the backfill is stable, generally two weeks, the loaded <br />material will be removed and a final cap will be installed. <br />The remainder of the areas disturbed by the mining operations (Those areas outside the slurry <br />Wald perimeter and include pipeline corridors, out-slopes of dams, in-slopes and slopes of the <br />Excelsior Ditch, etc. )will be reclaimed according to standard reclamation practices for <br />rangeland/wildlife habitat for the area. The detailed reclamation plan for these areas is based on <br />recommendations from the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) <br />(b) A comparison of the proposed post-mining land use to other land uses in the <br />vicinity and to adopted State and local land use programs. Where the post mining land use <br />is for commercial purposes, appropriate evidence supporting such reasonable assurance <br />shall be submitted, it not, a plan for revegetation shall be submitted: <br />This site is located in a Zoned A-1 Agricultural area. The proposed post mining land use will be <br />developed water resource. <br />(c) A description of how the Reclamation Plan will be implemented to meet each <br />applicable requirement of Section 3.1: <br />3.1.2 Reclaiming Substituted Land: <br />The Applicant/Operator does not intend to substitute other land for reclamation. <br />3.1.3 Time Limit and Phased Reclamation: <br />Reclamation will be conducted in phase to coincide with the phase of mining described in <br />Exhibit "C", Mine Plan Map. Each phase of reclamation will be completed within the five year <br />time limit. <br />
