The proposed reclamation is similar, if not identical, to what the Operator <br />has been implementing since the beginning of mining operations. The <br />Operator's reclamation practices show success on the ground. Therefore, <br />it appears the important environmental and biological factors that could <br />negatively affecting potential site reclamation have been properly <br />addressed. <br />(5) Ensure the establishment of a diverse and long-lasting <br />vegetative cover: <br />In those areas where vegetation will be established, the site will be <br />prepared to provide the best opportunity for establishment of the selected <br />plant species. <br />(6) Methods of weed control: <br />The existing mining permit has a Noxious Weed Management Control <br />Program. <br />(7) Fire lanes and access roads: <br />It will not be necessary to construct fire lanes. Access roads used for <br />• mining operations will be adequate for site reclamation. In addition, <br />access roads may be left post mining and reclamation for use by HRLP, if <br />so requested. <br />(8) Delays to the revegetation process on selected areas: <br />It is understood by the Operator/Applicant, planting required for <br />reclamation may be delayed, through the period of use related to places of <br />refuse disposal, haul roads and road cuts. All applicable industry <br />stabilization standards for such areas will be used. The <br />Operator/Applicant is aware no planting is required on these areas, as <br />follows: <br />(a) On any affected land being used or proposed for the deposit or <br />disposal of refuse, until after the cessation of operations for <br />productive use of such refuse. <br />(b) On lands proposed for future mining. <br />(c) Within depressed haulage roads or final cuts while such roads <br />or final cuts are being used or made. <br />• (d) Where permanent pools or lakes have been formed. <br />Page 23
