It is uncertain if the pit will receive imported fill materials from job site in the area. If this <br />occurs, extra fill will be used to create wetland shelves as shown on Map F-2. The CDOW has <br />encouraged this practice, and we will make the best effort to provide the wetlands. The <br />calculations of Table E-1 do not assume that wetland shelves will be created. Map F-1 <br />(Reclamation Plan) also does not show wetland shelves. Fringe wetlands will be created on all <br />lake shores. <br />2. Earthwork Plan <br />Mining highwalls will be kept at near vertical until approaching within 30 feet of the mining <br />limits. The slope will then be laid back to the 2H:1 V slope seen on Map C-2. The slopes will <br />then be backfilled with either overburden or excess topsoil to create the final 3V:IH slopes. <br />These slopes will vary somewhat as desired by the CDOW, including as shallow as l OH: l V in <br />some cases, but they will not be less them 3H:1 V. If additional overburden, topsoil or fill is <br />available, wetland shelves may be created as shown on Map F-2 to enhance wildlife. To <br />minimize final reclamation tasks, slopes will be backfilled promptly after mining is complete in <br />0 that area. <br />In order to satisfy various parties, additional commitments for mildly sloping areas are required <br />as described below and shown on Map C-2. <br />Visual Impact and Contemporaneous Reclamation Commitments <br />The Mining Plan has the following commitments: <br />1) In any mining phase, the mined length of 2H.-I V slope will be backf lled as necessary prior to <br />topsoiling and seeding. Generally, this is a milder slope of at least 31:1 V. The amount of mined <br />slope allowed to be present that is not backfilled at any given time is .1000 feet. Map C-2 shows <br />this exact length in Mine Area 1. <br />• <br />Scott Pit March 10 E-2
