• Potential noise from equipment/trucks/mining: Hauling operations only. Mining <br />activities isolated from area landowners. <br />o. Weed control during mining operation (submit plan for review and approval to <br />Routt County Weed Supervisor): Weed control plan submitted as part of the <br />DRMS/SMCRA Permit Application. Consistent with County and State weed control <br />requirements. <br />p. Other permits: CDPHE - APCD (anticipated approval 5/01/2010), WQCD and SPCC <br />Plan (anticipated WQCD approval 4/01/2010). DRMS - SMCRA Mining Permit <br />(anticipated approval 6/01/2010), BATF - Explosives Permit (anticipated approval <br />6/01/2010), MSHA ID (anticipated approval 6/01/2010) <br />Reclamation Plan: <br />1. Sketch of existing and final contours, retaining wall(s) and other structures. Post <br />reclamation land use(s) and locations: <br />a. Refer to Permit Map - 2.05.4 M 1 Sage Creek Postmining Topography. <br />b. Postmining land use: livestock grazing, wildlife habitat, and recreational use. <br />2. Reclamation techniques: Reclamation and Postmine Land Use Plans have been submitted as <br />part of the SMCRA Permit Application (Sections 2.05.4 Reclamation Plan and Section 2.05.5 <br />Postmining Land Use). <br />In general, facilities and the associated surface disturbed area will be reclaimed when <br />they are no longer needed to support ongoing or anticipated future operations. For some <br />areas, this commitment translates into interim reclamation of areas no longer required for <br />ongoing operations while active mining and related operations continue in other areas. <br />For other areas, reclamation will be the final step in the development/mining/reclamation <br />cycle, once all active mining and related operations have been completed. <br />Reclamation of the mine surface disturbance area, whether interim or final reclamation, <br />will involve a logical sequence of activities designed to return the disturbed area to a <br />configuration and condition compatible with the proposed post-mining land use: <br />• Removal and salvage or demolition and disposal of any surface structures and facilities <br />not approved for retention to support the post-mining land use <br />• Sealing and backfilling of all mine openings and any wells that will not be retained for <br />monitoring or water supply <br />• Regrading of the disturbance area to the approved post-mining configuration, with <br />grading to blend with surrounding undisturbed and previously reclaimed areas and <br />reestablish effective site drainage <br />• Construction of designed post-mining drainage channels <br />• Replacement of available soil resources <br />- 14-
