(6) There will not be any drill or auger holes unfilled after mining. All exploration will most likely <br />be done with small bore coring by a trained crew or by backhoe in selected areas, and after discovery, <br />all holes shall be backfilled as soon as possible. No adits or shafts will be employed in this open pit. <br />(7) Maximum slopes and slope combinations shall be compatible with the configuration of the <br />surrounding conditions and selected land use. Where the pit does not daylight, backsloping during <br />mining will be completed at a slope of 311:1 V or flatter. No lakes or ponds are designed for the final <br />reclamation, which is rangeland. Therefore, no swimming areas are proposed. <br />(8) The Operator's/Applicant's and Landowners' choice of rangeland reclamation for cattle <br />production will require slopes of 311:1 V or flatter in order to establish good cattle grazing areas, and <br />to prevent erosion. Farm machinery will be used only at the time of revegetation and will not be a <br />factor long range. <br />(9) The Operator/Applicant, in conjunction with the landowners, will use reject/overburdenonly to <br />fill areas within the MLRB Permit boundary. No inert structural fill is planned for fill at this site. <br />If it becomes necessary to import inert structural fill to accomplish the reclamation of this mine site <br />the operator will provide the DRMS Office notice and proceed with the following requirements as <br />laid out in the Rules. <br />(a) a narrative that describes the approximate tocatim of the <br />proposed activity; <br />(b) the appmadmate volurne of inert material to be backfi0ed; <br />(c) a signed affidavit certifying that the material is dean and <br />inert, as defined in Rule 1.1(2D); <br />(d) the approximate dates the proposed activity win corncnence <br />and end, however, such dates shah not be an eaihmaeable <br />condilian; <br />(e) an exptanation of how the badclilled site win result in a <br />post-mining confguration that is compatible with the <br />approved post-mining land use; and <br />(t) a general engineering playa stating how the material wnl be <br />placed and stabilized in a manner to avoid unacceptable <br />sett bV and voids. <br />The items listed above will only be call upon if inert structural fill would be needed. Which is unlikely on this site.
