Prince Albert Mine Plan of Operations Reclamation Plan <br />5.6 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 to be removed is identified in Tables 3A <br />"Surface Equipment / Structures" and 3B "Underground Equipment ". <br />5.7 Mine 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 <br />action will improve moisture retention to encourage deep- rooted plant growth. <br />5.8 Vegetation Growth Medium Placement <br />Vegetation growth medium will be hauled from the Growth Medium Stockpile (see Figure 3 "Mine <br />Plan Site Map ") and spread over areas where a suitable growth medium is lacking at the time of final <br />reclamation. These areas will include, at a minimum, the following specific locations after they have <br />been reclaimed to their final configuration: the waste piles, decline portal, ore stockpile, borehole(s), <br />water drop, maintenance and storage. This material will also be placed, when and as appropriate, on <br />the surface water diversion swales and surface water detention pond locations. The growth medium <br />will be spread to a relatively uniform depth of 4 inches or more depending upon the final quantity of <br />growth medium available for recovery and reuse. Soil berms located along the site access road will <br />be raked across the roadway to provide a growth medium. A seed bed will be developed by a disc or <br />harrow, or a range drill will be used for planting. <br />5.9 Seeding and Mulching <br />Once a seed bed has been developed, the areas will be seeded with an approved US BLM seed mix <br />(Table 6) and mulched by hand using a certified weed free straw. A hydro- seeding truck may be <br />used, as appropriate, to broadcast the seed and mulch. A tackifier will be applied, if hydroseeding is <br />used, to reduce seed and mulch loss. <br />Rimrock Exploration and Development Page 21 of 27 <br />
