Mud Creek Pit -Reclamation Permit Application -112 (C) Exhibits Page 19 of 67
EXHIBIT E -Reclamation Plan
SECTION E-1. GENERAL CONCEPT (6.3.4.)
The mine will be reclaimed as cropland and pastureland.
In general, soil stripped from mined areas will be replaced and converted to cropland or irrigated pasture initially;
processing fines and some construction debris will be used to do shaping to final post-mining grade, and roads will
remain in place for future access to all portions of the site. The length of the planned mining (20 years) and changing
market conditions require that considerable flexibility be identified and allowed from the beginning. Acreages are
shown in Table E-1-1. This reclamation plan is in accordance with existing pre-mining land use and land use in the
surrounding area. Montezuma County does not have a master plan for development and zoning.
The objective of the reclamation is to create a stable topography and biological community which can sustain the
proposed post-mining use of the land and protect downstream water quality and quantities. As much as possible, as
they are mined, soil and excess fines will be placed into stockpiles which can be easily moved to their permanent
locations as part of the reclamation, and roads are designed to be located properly both for mining and for future
post-mining use as access to cropland, pasture areas, wildlife, and potential future ag-related development. As much
as possible, roads and long-term plant areas are laid out and developed during mining in what is essentially their final
post-mining, reclaimed configuration to minimize reclamation requirements.
