RECLAMATION PLAN EXHIBIT E (cont) <br />If imported materials are brought to the mine it will be <br />"Inert Material" as defined by the Colorado Department of <br />Health. The necessary affidavits and operator assurance will be <br />supplied to the Division prior to importing inert fill. The pit <br />will be reclaimed so that a suitable grade for drainage exists, <br />all surface runoff will be directed into the natural drainages <br />on the site. No areas will be silted in from wash water nor <br />will there be temporary wash ponds remaining when reclamation is <br />complete. <br />All grading will be done in a manner to control erosion and <br />to protect areas outside the affected land from slides or other <br />damage. Backfilling and grading will be completed as soon as <br />feasible after mining is completed in a given area. All refuse <br />will be hauled away or disposed of in a manner that will control <br />unsightliness and protect the drainage system from pollution. <br />There are no acid - forming or toxic materials involved in this <br />operation. A minimal amount of petroleum products that may be <br />stored at the site will be done as prescribed by applicable <br />laws. The storage tanks will be surrounded by a berm capable of <br />retaining all stored fluid should a tank rupture. In addition, <br />there will be adequate absorbent materials on site to contain <br />any spills that would occur outside the berms. The Division <br />will be notified as required if a spill occurs. There are no <br />drill or auger holes on the land. Maximum slopes will be a near <br />vertical rock face in limited part of the mine. All other <br />slopes will be graded within the limits set forth in the Rules <br />and Regulations of the Board and will be capable of being tra- <br />versed by machinery. <br />The operator does not expect prevailing hydrologic condi- <br />tions to be disturbed. We will comply with applicable Colorado <br />water laws and regulations (as the operator understands them) <br />governing injury to existing water rights in order to minimize <br />any disturbance which might occur to the prevailing hydrologic <br />balance of the affected land and surrounding areas and to the <br />quality of water in surface and ground -water systems both during <br />and after the mining operation and during reclamation. In <br />addition, the operator expects to comply with applicable Federal <br />and Colorado water quality laws and regulations. Any water used <br />in the operation of the processing plants and mine will be water <br />purchased from an outside agency that is suitable for that use. <br />18 <br />
