area will not be mined for more than 12 months, the areas will be chiseled or ripped <br />(scarified) prior to replacement of soil and seeding. Any spoil will be used as subsoil <br />to establish final contours, and will be covered by soil for revegetation (see also <br />Exhibit J). It is anticipated that a minimum of 12 inches of soil or subsoil will be placed <br />on all surfaces except roadways and ponds, above impermeable or bedrock <br />materials (Mancos shale). <br />Exhibit F includes cross-sections of various portions of the pit, showing a profile of the <br />surface before and after mining, and after reclamation. Maps in Exhibit F shows <br />scheduled reclamation by year, planned, approximate contours after mining and <br />reclamation, and general drainage information, including probable location of <br />basins and outfalls if necessary for storm water and erosion/sediment control. <br />PLAN/SCHEDULE (6.4.5.(2)e.) <br />The following features constructed during mining or reclamation will be left in place <br />as permanent post-reclamation features, as requested by the landowner and <br />shown on Map F-1: <br />1. Access roads: approximately 6000 linear feet of County Standard roads, with <br />necessary culverts, berms, embankments, cuts, fills, ditch crossing, and <br />associated drainage features, plus trails as needed for access from road to all <br />portions of the property. <br />2. Perimeter and internal fencing to secure site, divide pasture areas, and <br />otherwise control access and animal movement. <br />3. Water pipelines and related irrigation equipment, whether surface-laid or <br />buried. <br />4. French drains for discharge of water from mined and upstream areas while <br />preventing surface runoff and erosion. <br />5. Ponds with berms, dikes, channels, and related drainage structures. <br />6. Improvements to springs, and related drainage structures. <br />The existing status of various portions of the existing affected area is shown on <br />the table on Map F-1. Backfilling, grading, and placement of soil should be <br />accomplished within one year of completion of extraction of construction materials <br />together with rebuilt roadways (See also Exhibit J). Depending upon the date of <br />completion of the backfill, grading, and placement, the land will remain in fallow <br />until the appropriate planting season for the crop(s) or forage selected, for <br />revegetation as planned. <br />The proposed sequence and estimated schedule by year of reclamation of <br />various areas of the affected land is shown in the table on Map F-2. The lag <br />between completion of mining an area to seeding will vary based on need for <br />stockpile and plant areas, traffic patterns, and overall life of the operation. For <br />estimating purposes, it may be assumed that one of the ten reclamation areas will <br />be completed (except for waiting for vegetation to meet standards for release) <br />each year, 2011-2020. <br />Exhibits for 112(c) AM-02 Application -M-1994-108-2010- Page 25
