b) Pre- & Post Mining Conditions <br />The present land use is ranching and upon final reclamation the post mining use will revert back to <br />ranching. The final reclamation slopes (with the exception of possible 3H:1V slopes at the setback <br />line) and most of the grading areas will be of gentler slopes than originally present. As such, the area <br />will provide an improved ranching environment. <br />Prior to mining of Cell 4, County Road 112, which does not follow the road right -of -way in this area, <br />will be relocated, as coordinated and approved by Weld County. <br />c) Compliance with Rule 3.1 Reclamation Performance Standards: <br />3.1.1 Establishing Post — Mining Use: <br />1. Applicant is Landowner <br />2. Area is used as ranching land and will be returned to ranching land. <br />3.1.2 Reclaiming Substituted Land: <br />No substituted land is involved. <br />3.1.3 Time Limit and Phased Reclamation: <br />Each mined area (Cell) will be completely reclaimed within 5 years of commencement of <br />the reclamation phase of the mined area (Cell). <br />3.1.4 Public Use: <br />No public Use is allowed. Lands are private at present and will continue to be private. <br />3.1.5 Reclamation Measures — Material Handling: <br />1. Final reclaimed topography will be appropriate for final land use. <br />2. All backfilling will consist of existing formations. No acid - forming or toxic materials <br />are known. <br />3. All erosion will be controlled and no high walls will remain. <br />4. Backfilling and grading will be ongoing as areas are mined out and room for backfilling <br />becomes available. <br />5. No refuse or acid - forming or toxic - producing materials are known. <br />6. No drill or auger holes are anticipated. <br />7. Spoil slopes shall not exceed 3H to 1V. <br />2 <br />
