Design Criteria Topic Design Criteria for the Proposed Action Erosion & Sediment Control 78. Erosion will be minimized through interim reclamation including, but not limited to, contouring, seedin g and mulching. 79. Sediment control measures such as, but not limited to, silt fence, straw mulch, site containment and sediment control ponds will be utilized as needed. BMP BMP Incidental Coal Recovery 80. Any coal recovered incidental to project will be taken back to the mine site or disposed of in the mud pits. MCC Project Plan AIR QUALITY Surface Air Quality 81. Road watering and/or treatment with dust suppressant on the access road during the short -term construction and development activities will minimize vehicle - related fugitive dust emissions. 82. To the extent feasible, project workers would car pool to and from the project area to minimize vehicle - related emissions and fugitive dust emissions. BMP BMP RECREATION Recreation 83. To avoid near -miss accidents between hunters and drillers, MCC will be encouraged to avoid operations on Minnesota Creek Road from the Thursday before the second hunting season opener (mid- October) to the Wednesday after the second hunting season opener. If use is required for operations using over -sized vehicles during any period of public use, then MCC will use appropriate active traffic control measures. CDOW suggestion CULTURAL RESOURCES Cultural Surveys/ Paleontological Resources 84. Prior to the construction process, an intensive cultural resources survey would be completed by the Proponent, at their expense, on all areas proposed for surface disturbance if it has not already been inventoried per requirements of the Standard Notice for Lands Under Jurisdiction of the USDA attached to the leases. 85. During project imple mentation, in the event of an inadvertent discovery of any other cultural resources not covered under NAGPRA (above), work should cease and an archaeologist should be notified to investigate the resource. Any cultural resources located will be brought to the immediate attention of the Forest Service and will be left intact until directed to proceed. All data and materials recovered will remain under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Government 43 CFR 7 Subtitle A and 36 CFR Part 296 43 CFR 7 and 36 CFR Part 296 CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES Interim reclamation 86. Interim reclamation will be done through seeding of ungraveled areas. BMP, State
