Puckett <br />Land Co. will make reasonable efforts consistent with the approved reclamation plan to reclaim <br />the borrow pit within the 5 year time frame. <br />3.1.5 Reclamation Measures — Materials Handling: <br />(1) Grading shall be carried on so as to create a final topography appropriate to <br />the final land use selected in the Reclamation Plan: <br />The rangeland slopes will generally be 3H:1 V or less. A small area near the central portion of <br />the proposed borrow area, located beneath the area of cliffs will be reclaimed to 2H:1V or less. <br />(3) All grading shall be done in a manner to control erosion and siltation of the <br />affected land, to protect areas outside the affected land from slides and other <br />damage. If not eliminated, all highwalls shall be eliminated: <br />Final grading will be done on the contour, provided it does not pose a hazard to operators or <br />equipment. No highwalls shall remain once mining and reclamation are complete. <br />(6) Any drill or auger holes that are part of the mining operation shall be <br />plugged with non - combustible material, which shall prevent harmful or <br />polluting drainage.
