Aifernafives Considered in Detail <br />Table 2-1 <br />Design Criteria <br />Topic Design Criteria for the Proposed Action <br /> <br />VLSUALS <br />Visuals 99. Long-term surface facilities (such as the shaft) would be painted a BLM/FS <br /> standard environmental color selected by the Forest Service to <br /> better blend the facilities with their surroundings and thereby <br /> reduce visual impacts. <br /> 100. Contours will be followed during construction, to the extent Forest Plan <br /> possible, so visual line and form is undisturbed. <br /> 101. Vegetation removal will be minimized to prevent disruption of Forest Plan <br /> color. <br /> 102. Irregular shaped pads will be used to minimize visual disturbance. FS <br />GEOLOGY, SOILS, MINERALS <br />Topsoil 103. Where it is necessary to remove topsoil in order to construct MDW DRMS, FS <br /> pads or access roads, topsoil shall be removed and segregated from <br /> other soil. If such topsoil is not replaced within a time short enough <br /> to avoid deterioration of the topsoil, vegetative cover or other <br /> means shall be employed so that the topsoil is protected from <br /> erosion, remains free of any contamination by toxic or acid-forming <br /> material, and is in a usable condition for reclamation. <br /> 104. Where practicable, woody vegetation present at the site shall be Reclamation <br /> removed from or appropriately incorporated into the existing topsoil Plan, FS <br /> prior to excavation within the affected areas. <br /> 105. Topsoil stockpiles shall be stored and configured to minimize DRMS, FS <br /> erosion and located in areas where disturbance by ongoing mining <br /> operations will be minimized. Such stockpile areas must be <br /> included in the affected areas and subject to all reclamation <br /> requirements. <br /> 106. Immediate seeding of topsoil stockpiles for the purpose of Reclamation <br /> stabilization may be required. Plan, FS, <br /> BMP <br /> 107. Once stockpiled, the topsoil shall be handled as little as possible Reclamation <br /> until replacement on the regraded, disturbed area. Plan, FS <br /> 108. The Operator shall take measures necessary to assure the stability of Reclamation <br /> replaced topsoil on graded slopes such as roughening in final Plan, FS <br /> grading to eliminate slippage zones that may develop between the <br /> deposited topsoil and heavy textured spoil surfaces. <br /> 109. When growth media is replaced, it shall be done in as even a Reclamation <br /> manner as possible. Fertilizer or other soil amendments shall be Plan <br /> added, if required in the Reclamation Plan. <br />Subsoil 1110.
