The Operator may need to dispose pit-run waste material from the Hogue <br />River Pit as part of the cut backfill. The material disposed in a cut will be <br />non-toxic 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 seed bed 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 material is 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 drilled <br />holes, backhoe pits or auger holes will be constructed by trained crews and <br />shall 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 />(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 recreation and rangeland. The <br />final interior pit slopes will not be steeper than 3H:1 V. The goal of the <br />reclamation plan is to return the mined land to AOC to the extent possible. <br />(8) Not applicable <br />• <br />Page 16
