This Plan must be correlated with Exhibit E — Map: <br />(a) Specify at what point in the mining plan and to what depth(s) <br />overburden will be replaced in relation to ongoing extraction: <br />There is no overburden removal. Therefore, there will be no overburden to replace. What waste <br />rock is generated may be given to Boulder County Road and Bridge Department and/or the U.S. <br />Forest Service for use in road construction or used on -site. Any waste rock remaining at the <br />conclusion of mining will be reclaimed in place and/or disposed underground, once the <br />appropriate agency approvals are obtained. <br />(b) Specify the maximum gradient of the reclaimed slopes (horizontal: <br />vertical). If the Application proposes slopes steeper than 3:1, the <br />Operator /Applicant must include a justification that supports steeper <br />slopes for the proposed post mining land use, and demonstrates <br />compliance with the applicable performance standards of Section 3.1: <br />There will be no significant areas of reclaimed slopes. Where it is possible, reclaimed slopes <br />will be 3:1 or less. However, given the nature of the area's topography, slopes may need to <br />match the original and surrounding topography. (Approximate Original Contour (AOC).) <br />(c) Specify the measures that will be taken to revegetate the site, if <br />applicable, including: <br />(i) State the thickness of the plant growth medium to be replaced. <br />Sample and analyze available soils sufficiently to establish quantity <br />and quality: <br />Plant growth medium will be replaced to a depth of between 6 and 8 inches. Most of the plant <br />growth medium available for revegetation will come from soils located uphill, directly south of <br />the surface facilities. This area will likely not be disturbed until final site reclamation. The <br />topsoil removal area will then be regraded, prepared for seeding and seeded and mulched. <br />The proposed areas of waste rock storage have historically been used for placement of waste <br />rock in the past. As such, there is no topsoil in these areas to remove. In addition, the proposed <br />sewer line will be through an area where no soil is present. The site of the proposed new <br />office /dry facility is also an area previous disturbed and no topsoil is present. The proposed <br />waste rock pile at the North West portion of the operation will remain a rocky area, as it was <br />
