• 0 <br /> the reclaimed area. AmerAlia will work with the BLM,DOW, and DMG to develop the <br /> proper shrub establishment protocols. <br /> 11.d)The BLM has conducted a raptor survey as part of the AmerAlia sodium mineral <br /> lease requirements with the BLM. The results of that survey can be obtained directly <br /> from the BLM. Mitigation measures, including rerouting the access road, southern water <br /> supply pipeline, and electric power line; downsizing the plant site; and conducting a <br /> Cooper's Hawk study will be included in the environmental assessment produced by the <br /> BLM on the Project. Revisions to facilities are shown on Revised Figure C-1 included in <br /> this Technical Revision as Attachment 1. <br /> 12.a)The goal of the grading plan will be to establish slopes for reclamation no greater <br /> than 3:1 or as shallow as physical constraints allow where steeper slopes have been <br /> disturbed. Disturbance of natural slopes steeper than 3:1 will be avoided wherever <br /> possible. <br /> 12.b)Along linear features, such as the access road and pipeline corridor,topsoil <br /> stockpiles will be placed in consolidated piles approximately every 400 feet in areas <br /> protected form natural erosion. All topsoil stockpiles will be signed and revegetated for <br /> protection. <br /> 12.c)The BLM has allowed the burial of concrete on-site during reclamation of similar <br /> near-by facilities, as long as the concrete was broken into pieces small enough to provide <br /> adequate sub-surface drainage(less than four feet in dimension)and buried at least four <br /> feet deep with overburden. AmerAlia will comply with those conditions or other <br /> conditions as may be imposed by the BLM. <br /> 12.d)The majority of the roads required for the Project will be constructed on gently <br /> sloping lands. Minimal cuts and fills will be required. AmerAlia will work with the <br /> DMG to restore road cuts to productive lands with limited erosion. Because the road cuts <br /> will be stabilized during operation, backfilling is not thought to be required; however, <br /> AmerAlia will comply with DMG final inspection regarding backfilling of road cuts. <br /> 12.e)The plant location is on a ridge top where limited cut and fill will be required. <br /> AmerAlia will work with the DMG to achieve proper slopes and final reclamation of the <br /> plant site. <br /> 13.
