• 3:1 OPERATIONS AND RECLAMATION PLAN <br />The general operations and reclamation plan discussed in this section, as well as' all sections of this <br />permit application, address the proposed five-year permit term 2008-2012. This particular section <br />discusses in general terms the methods, procedures and engineering techniques employed at the <br />Trapper Mine. Maximum yearly disturbance, reclamation and tonnage are listed as well as the major <br />equipment used at the mine. Subsequent sections supplement this section with more specific and <br />detailed information. <br />i <br />I <br />Metal, plastic or wooden signs and markers are posted at the mine as required by regulation for each <br />orator public access and to identify the immediate blasting areas, topsoil stockpiles, and the permit <br />perimeter. Al signs and markers in or contiguous to mining or reclamation activities are maintained <br />routinely as needed and as contemporaneously as practicable. All others are inspected and maintained <br />each spring following snowmelt to ensure they are present and legible. Stream buffer zone markers are <br />not used because there are no sites within the permit area that require them (see Section 2.7). Each <br />type of sign or marker is of uniform design and conforms to local ordinances and codes. All <br />measurements for signs as shown in Figures 3.1-1 through 3.1-4 depict approximate dimensions. <br />• <br />A mine permit and identification sign is conspicuously placed at each major public access to the mine <br />i <br />piroperty. Because the mine area is very large, approximately 10,400 acres, and many trails and <br />unimproved roads intercept it, not all such trails and unimproved roads are marked with a mine permit <br />*Ind identification sign. Many of these unimproved roads and trails are in poor condition and travel is <br />unlikely. However, most public accesses capable of vehicular travel and all roads maintained or <br />established by public funds are posted (refer to Map M7). The mine permit and identification sign is blue <br />with black lettering. The information included is the mine name and identification number; name, <br />bIusiness address and telephone number of the operator (Figure 3.1-1). <br />3-2 <br />RE'VE8k0?i:
