preparation of the surface before extraction of borrow material will consist of stripping <br />the vegetation and topsoil and placing topsoil in a stockpile for use later during <br />reclamation. Front -end loaders, scrapers, excavators or other suitable equipment will be <br />used in order to remove topsoil and borrow material as quickly as possible followed by <br />site reclamation. The short duration of the borrow operation and timely site reclamation <br />will minimize impacts to the hydrologic balance. <br />A Stormwater Management Plan will be implemented to protect the hydrologic balance. <br />Ground water will not be intercepted or otherwise impacted. <br />The reclaimed surface will be returned to rangeland with slopes reclaimed to generally <br />3H:1V or less. A small section of the reclaimed area in the central portion of the borrow <br />area will have a slope of 2H:1 V. Once borrow removal and any needed backfill and <br />regrading is complete, the affected area will be topsoiled, seeded and mulched. These <br />measures will ensure a stable reclaimed configuration and will minimize disturbance to <br />the hydrologic balance. <br />(m) Specify if the deposit will be processed on -site. If the deposit will be <br />processed, then describe the nature of the process, facilities and chemicals <br />used. The process area and any structures must be described on Exhibit E — <br />Map: <br />The only process which may occur on site would be a screen/grate to remove over sized <br />rock from the borrow material. It would be a portable device, moved around the borrow <br />area as needed. <br />(n) Identification of the primary and secondary commodities mined and <br />intended uses: <br />The primary product (commodities) excavated from this mine site will be borrow <br />material. No secondary commodities will be produced. <br />(o) Identification of the expected incidental products mined and intended <br />uses: <br />The only incidental product would be rip rap from screening in order to remove over <br />sized rock from the borrow material. It will either be used at the CDOT Project <br />construction site, borrow site or placed on the borrow site against the toe of a final slope <br />for future use by the landowner. <br />22 <br />
