ry _ `021° <br />b2 <br />Contraoto$ ifilstration <br />ATTACHMENT A <br />Contract Stipulations <br /> <br />A. A survey of the pit, conducted by a certified surveyor, will be submitted <br />annually to the BLM. The survey will show existing topography. The <br />survey will designate the boundaries of the permitted pit, extent of current <br />operations, location of topsoil stockpiles, and areas of reclamation earthwork <br />and revegetation. The survey must be submitted in map form and in digital <br />form, suitable for using or converting to be used in ARCMAP. <br />B. The operator will submit an annual report of all weed surveys and treatment <br />for the year. <br />The following stipulations are organized by resource type. <br />Air Quality <br />1. The operator will comply with all State permits which relate to air quality. The operator <br />will implement those practices as such permits require, to control fugitive dust/particulate <br />emissions. Examples are listed in the text of the document in Section 2.3.1. <br />Cultural Resources <br />2. A BLM or BLM-permitted archaeologist will be present during all initial soil stripping <br />operations to monitor for subsurface cultural resources. The operator will contact the <br />BLM 10 working days prior to the start-up of operations so that an agency.-approved <br />Contingency Plan can be prepared and be in place when soil-stripping operations begin. <br />The Contingency Plan will clearly describe in detail how the operator is to proceed <br />should subsurface cultural resources be found. <br />3. If subsurface cultural resources are unearthed during operations, activity in the vicinity of <br />the cultural resource will cease and a BLM representative notified immediately. Pursuant <br />to 43 CFR 10.4 the holder of this authorization must notify the authorized officer <br />immediately (by telephone and written confirmation) upon the unlikely discovery of <br />human remains, funerary items, sacred objects, or objects of cultural patrimony. Further, <br />the operator must stop activities in the vicinity of the discovery and protect it for 30 days <br />or until notified to proceed by the authorized officer. <br />4. The operator is responsible for informing all persons associated with this project that they <br />will be subject to prosecution for knowingly disturbing Native American Indian shrines, <br />historic and prehistoric archaeology sites, or for collecting artifacts of any kind, including <br />historic items and/or arrowheads and pottery fragments from federal lands. <br />Montoya Gravel Pit Expansion Environmental Assessment
