Prince Albert Mine 110(d) Permit Application Exhibit D <br />D (c) Location Specific Reclamation <br />Reclamation procedures for areas or features that do not involve the handling of toxic, or potentially <br />toxic, materials are listed below. Reclamation procedures for specific locations related to toxic, or <br />potentially toxic, materials handling are detailed in the Exhibit U "EPP." <br />D (c.1) Access Road Reclamation <br />The site access road from Montrose County Road U16 to the mine site, vent borehole and water drop <br />access roads will be reclaimed by ripping the road surface to a depth of 1.5 feet, where possible, and <br />raking the soil berms running along the sides of the road across the ripped surface. This ripping action <br />will improve moisture retention to establish deep rooted plant growth. <br />D (c.2) Reclamation of Ventilation Shaft(s) <br />One 36" to 60" diameter ventilation shaft location is included in the current mining plan (see Section C <br />(b.5) "Ventilation Borehole(s) "). A closure procedure will be submitted to the DRMS and BLM at the <br />time of final closure for review and approval. A preliminary closure methodology is included below for <br />this reclamation plan. <br />a. Remove the fan and fan support framework. <br />b. Excavate the soils from around any installed borehole casing to form a work space using a track - <br />hoe. The workspace will be approximately six (6) feet wide by three (3) feet deep. <br />c. Cut any installed borehole casing off at the excavated ground level (cut off approximately three <br />feet of casing). <br />d. Install a borehole seal using expanding foam (PUFF) in accordance with the DRMS methodology <br />detailed in the DRMS Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program. Alternate closure methods will be <br />reviewed during final reclamation of the site. <br />e. Backfill the excavation with excavated soils and imported clean structural fill, as necessary, to <br />bring to grade; bucket tamping the fill as it is placed. <br />f. Grade smooth and then rip the disturbed area around the borehole location <br />g. Spread the equivalent of six (6) inches of loose topsoil over the ripped area and drill seed in <br />accordance with the seeding schedule listing below. <br />D (c.3) Dismantling and Removal of Structures <br />All structures at the Prince Albert Mine will be portable, with wheel or skid mountings, or temporary <br />fixtures that can be quickly and easily dismantled and removed. All of the structures at the site will be <br />removed during reclamation. The current list of structures and equipment to be removed are identified in <br />Tables C.2 "Surface Equipment and Structures" and C.3 "Underground Equipment ". <br />Rimrock Exploration & Development Page 10 of 39 <br />
