4.0 - Final Stabilization and Long-Term Stormwater Management <br />This section provides a description of the measures used to achieve final stabilization and <br />measures to control pollutants in stormwater discharges after mining operations have been completed. In <br />accordance with the guidance documentation (CDHPE, 1994), " final stabilization will be reached when all <br />soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed, and uniform vegetative cover has been established <br />with a density of at least 70 percent of pre-disturbance levels or equivalent permanent, physical erosion <br />reduction methods have been employed." <br />There will be 2 ponds constructed as part of the reclamation activities at this mining site. There <br />are no planned outfalls or culverts. The ultimate reclamation of the site is for ponds and pasture land <br />Reclaim topography will be flat <3% sloping to the north. DRM&G and Soil Conservation Service <br />recommended seed mix and methods will be followed for concurrent reclamation along pond edges. Most <br />final grade activities will take place as mining activities proceed. Efforts will be made to achieve final <br />grade stabilization as soon as possible after excavation activities have been completed in any given area of <br />the site.
