(3) There will be no overburden or waste materials requiring replacement or <br />compaction. There will be no acid forming or toxic materials generated by <br />mining activities at the site. <br />(4) Stormwater control measures and Best Management Practices (BMPs) will <br />be used to protect areas outside the affected area during both excavation <br />and reclamation operations at the site. All site waters will be contained <br />and directed to pond/ excavated areas. Topsoil will be placed on the final <br />grade surface and seeded with the recommended seed mix to prevent <br />erosion. <br />(5) Concurrent reclamation activities are planned along with normal site <br />SWMP activities and other standard site maintenance. Reclamation will <br />occur after excavation operations progress and water. surfaces are <br />developed. All concurrently reclaimed and other disturbed areas between <br />the pond, on pond edges and adjacent perimeter roads will be seeded <br />annually with the DRM&S grass seed mix. Landowner/applicant will <br />include some other trees/shrubs, wetland and riparian vegetation varieties <br />in the reclamation areas below road and to the water surface edges in order <br />to establish more diverse habitat. <br />(6) There will be no acid forming or toxic materials produced by mining <br />and/or reclamation activities at the proposed site. <br />(7) There will be no drill, auger holes adits or shafts at the proposed site. All <br />mining activities will be of the surface variety using bulldozers, track <br />excavators and loaders to excavate and process material from the pit area. <br />No explosives will be used in mining at the site. <br />(8) All disturbed areas will be reclaimed with slopes at 3:1 or less. The <br />areas will be graded to match the surrounding topography prior to <br />topsoil/cover soil placement. Pond edges will be sloped 3:1 or less to a <br />point approximately 10 feet below the average intercepted ground water <br />elevation <br />(9) The owner's/operator's choice of reclamation is for developed water <br />resource (some pasture and for more diverse habitat). <br />(10) There are no plans for the use of site generated or offsite inert structural <br />backfill materials. <br />(11) There are no surface drainage systems within the proposed permit area. <br />Stormwater controls and BMPs. Sedimentation pond structures will be <br />utilized to prevent stormwater from entering any riparian and/or identified <br />wetland areas to the north. Ponds will be used for storm water retention.
