inspected and the effectiveness of control measures are evaluated based on reduction or <br />elimination of weed infestations. This information is utilized in the management planning process <br />to determine the need for continued treatment and to modify treatment method(s), if indicated, to <br />improve effectiveness. <br />(e) The area will be reclaimed in stages, as an area is completed and no further operational use <br />of the area is needed, fmal reclamation will proceed. The timing of reclamation stages will <br />be based on the amount of red rock removed annually. <br />(f)(i) Final Grading - The fmal reclaimed configuration will consist of steep backslopes (up to <br />1H:1V) and flatter bench or floor areas at 5H:1V or less parallel to County Road 53. <br />(f)(ii) See response to (d). <br />(f)(iii) No fertilization is proposed. <br />(f)(iv) No planting of trees or shrubs is proposed. <br />(f)(v) The depth of replaced soil material will be variable and depend on the amount of <br />material available for replacement. It is expected that the replacement depth will range <br />between 0 and 4 inches. <br />The general reclamation plan is graphically presented on Map 4, Reclamation Plan Map (see <br />Attachment 4). <br />The postmining land use will be primarily rangeland and secondarily wildlife habitat, which is <br />the same as the pre - mining land use. <br />As each phase is mined out and no longer needed for gravel storage or crusher /screening pad, <br />the flatter pit bottom will be graded, topsoiled (if available) and reseeded. <br />6.4.6 EXHIBIT F — Reclamation Plan Map <br />Map 4, Reclamation Plan Map, shows the proposed post -mine topography within the <br />disturbed area. <br />6.4.7 EXHIBIT G — Water Information <br />No surface or ground water is expected to be encountered during the mining operations. <br />Surface water from storm events will be controlled with ditches and small sumps placed as <br />needed. Anticipated sump locations are shown on Map 3, Mine Plan Map. A Storm Water <br />Discharge permit is contained in Attachment 8. <br />7 01/2011 <br />
