Mud Creek Pit -Reclamation Permit Application - 112 (C) Exhibits Page 23 of 67 <br />SECTION E-4. TOPSOIL, SPOIL, AND REVEGETATION <br />As discussed above, topsoil will be removed from the pit and segregated in stockpiles then used for reclamation. <br />Stockpile areas, whether or not subsequently mined, will be reclaimed and revegetated in the same way as other <br />mined areas. Where soil was left at the time of building the stockpile (because soil was placed in the stockpile) and <br />the area will not be mined for more than 12 months, the areas will be chiseled or ripped (scarified) prior to <br />replacement of topsoil and seeding. Any spoil will be used as subsoil to establish final contours, and will be covered <br />by topsoil. As discussed above, there will be no revegetation (see also Exhibit B). <br />The following figures are cross-sections of various portions of the pit as identified in Maps in Exhibit E, showing a <br />profile of the surface before and after mining, and after reclamation. <br />Map F-1 shows phases of reclamation. Map F-2 shows planned, approximate contours after mining and reclamation. <br />Except for storm water/process water basins in plant sites, there may be no ponds or water features other than for <br />livestock and use as drainage ways on reclaimed areas; wetlands and water features will remain in buffer zones. <br />SECTION E-5. PLAN/SCHEDULE (6.4.5.(2)e.) <br />The following features constructed during mining or reclamation will be left in place as permanent post-reclamation <br />features, as requested by the landowner: <br />1. Roads A, B, and C: Total 6,000 linear feet of Montezuma County Standard roads, with associated drainage <br />features. <br />2. Drainage features (such as basins, ditches, berms, etc.) necessary to control runoff, sediment, and erosion, on <br />plant sites and nearby areas. <br />3. Parking/storage areas (graveled or otherwise improved) as desired by the landowner to support agricultural <br />operations and other uses as may be authorized by local authorities. <br />4. Potentially, some buildings (such as shops, the bohio, etc.) as desired by the landownerto support agricultural <br />operations and other uses as may be authorized by local authorities. <br />5. Utilities necessary to support the site. <br />6. Perimeter and internal fencing to secure site, divide pasture areas, and otherwise control access and animal <br />movement. <br />Backfilling, grading, and placement of topsoil should be accomplished within one year of completion of extraction of <br />construction materials from a given area, except for roadways (See Maps, Exhibit E). Depending upon the date of <br />completion of the backfill, grading, and placement, the land will remain in fallow until the appropriate planting season <br />for the crop(s) selected. <br />Items specified for the Reclamation Plan in Rule 6 have been included in other items in this Exhibit or have been <br />included in other Exhibits referenced above, and therefore are not separately listed in this exhibit. <br />McStone Aggregates, LLC 15 FEB 2008 ©WASTELINE, INC 2008 PN 5006.1-4(009) <br />
