doubtful the Operator will dispose pit-run waste material on the floor of <br />the pit. If such material is disposed on the pit floor, it will be non-toxic <br />and non-hazardous. <br />Topsoil replacement will be accomplished after mining has moved far <br />enough away from an active mining or construction areas to protect the <br />topsoil and make it practical for seedbed preparation and seeding. Final <br />seeding and seedbed preparation will also be governed by the time of year <br />and weather conditions that are optimal for these activities. <br />(5) All refuse and acid-forming or toxic producing materials that <br />have been mined shall be handled and disposed of in a manner that <br />will control unsightliness and protect the drainage system from <br />pollution: <br />No refuse or toxic or hazardous materials are expected to be generated by <br />this mining operation. However, if such material is produced, it will be <br />handled in such a manner that conforms to local, State and Federal <br />requirements for disposal of such material. At present time the Operator <br />does not intend to dispose of refuse on the mine site. <br />• (6) Any drill or auger holes that are part of the mining operation <br />shall be plugged in accordance with methods approved by the <br />Division: <br />No adits or shafts will be employed in this operation. All drilled or auger <br />holes will occur within the limits of the mining operation. Any drill, <br />backhoe pits or auger holes will be constructed by trained crews and shall <br />be backfilled as soon as practicable. Any drilled holes used for <br />monitoring wells will be constructed by trained crews according to SEO <br />and DRMS specifications and approved by the appropriate State agencies <br />prior to installation. <br />(7) Maximum slopes and slope combination shall be compatible <br />with the configuration of the surrounding conditions and the selected <br />post mining land use: <br />The proposed post mining land use will be a pond-wildlife habitat and <br />possible home sites. The final interior pit slopes of the pond will not be <br />steeper than 2H:1 V. From five feet above to ten feet below the expected <br />waterline the slopes shall 3H:1V or less. (Reconstructed wetlands will be <br />3H:1 V or less and will be as depicted on the Reclamation Plan Map.) All <br />other slopes will be 3H:1 V, or less. <br />Page 16
