October Ore Pile Reclamation <br />110(d) Limited Impact Permit Application <br />Nuvemco LLC October Ore Pile Reclamation <br />will prevent any uphill run-on of <br />loading, the loader operator will <br />rock to protect the exposed face <br />freshly exposed ore from the site. <br />6.4.20 (16) QA/QC Program <br />Rule 8: ERP <br />precipitation to the site. At the end of each day of <br />construct a berm from the underlying on-site soil and <br />and edge preventing any precipitation from washing <br />Ore removal and transport will be in accordance with best management practices and <br />US DOT regulations. In the :event of an accident or load spillage, BMPs will be used to <br />clean up spilled materials including any hydrocarbon (gas and oil from truck) releases. <br />6.4.20 (17) Plant Growth Medium (Soils) (amended) <br />6.4.20 (17) (a) An NRCS soil survey map is provided as "Exhibit T. Soil Survey Map", <br />for the October Ore Pile area. Soils of the Bodot-Sili-Rock outcrop complex are found at <br />the site. Because these soils are very thin two alternatives are described to insure re- <br />vegetation of the site. Alternative 1 is to scarify and re-vegetate the soils underlying the <br />October Ore Pile after its removal. Alternative 2 includes hauling spoils of silty sand and <br />soil from a location near the bottom of John Brown Canyon. This silt will be redistributed <br />to a uniform depth of approximately 2 inches over the disturbed area prior to seeding <br />and mulching. <br />6.4.20 (17) (b) Site specific soils investigations have not been conducted. It is known <br />that site soils are very thin because the location is a bedrock bench. <br />6.4.20 (17) (c) Table 6-1 provides characteristics for the soil mapping unit present at <br />the site (Bodot, Sili-Rock outcrop complex, 5-25% slopes, very bouldery) as well as the <br />mapping unit immediately adjacent to the site (Rock outcrop-Sedgran, 40-99% slopes, <br />very stony). <br />Site soils are known to be so thin that they may not be successful as a plant growth <br />medium. Alternative 2 includes silty soils which are proposed for import from John <br />Brown Canyon which are not known to have characteristics that would be problematic as <br />a plant growth medium. <br />No soil amendments have been recommended by the Bureau of Land Management <br />which has proposed a seed mixture for reclamation. <br />54
