§2.05 APPLICATION FOR PERMIT FOR SURFACE OR UNDERGROUND MINING
ACTIVITIES --MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATION AND RECLAMATION
PLANS.
2.05.4 Reclamation Plan.
(1) The areas disturbed by the mine loadout will be returned to a cropland land
use. This will be accomplished by restoring the area to the approximate original
contour. Surface areas will be covered contoured and seeded with the
approved seed mix.
(2) Required Information.
(a) Timetable for each phase of the reclamation.
Reclamation work will be initiated when the mine reserves are depleted
or when the applicant deems the mine to no longer be an economically
viable operation. Reclamation of the site will take two construction
seasons. The first phase of reclamation is the removal of buildings and
structures from the site. This phase will occur during year one of the
reclamation schedule. The second phase of reclamation will be
recontouring the area to approximate original contours, placing
available topsoil on the regraded area and seeding the area with the
approved seed mix. This second phase will take approximately six
months and will occur during year two of the reclamation schedule.
(b) Cost estimate for the reclamation with calculations.
A detailed estimate of the cost of reclamation of the proposed mine and
mine facilities is presented in Section 3.05 Performance Bond
Requirements.
(c) A plan for backfilling, soil stabilizing, compacting, and grading.
The mine loadout area was constructed using a proximate balanced cut
and fill technique. To reclaim the areas to approximate original
contour, the fill placed on the outslopes must be returned to the cut
slopes. The Postminig Topography Map No. 8 shows the final contours
of the land.
