RECLAMATION PLAN EXHIBIT E (cont) <br />Some inert fill materials will be imported for use around <br />the mine to enhance fish habitat in the ponds or for backfill <br />material on the Plant Site. This material will consist of broke <br />concrete or other inert materials suitable for that purpose. The <br />pit will be reclaimed so that a suitable grade for drinage <br />exists, all surface runoff will be directed into the ponds <br />created by mining. Any process fines placed around the pit will <br />be naturally compacted since it is mixed with and transported by <br />water. This type of backfilling tends to firm up and stabilize <br />during the first 6 months after being placed. <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. All backfilling and grading will be completed as soon as <br />feasible after mining is completed. All refuse will be hauled <br />away or disposed of in a manner that will control unsightliness <br />and protect the drainage system from pollution. There are no <br />acid - forming or toxic materials involved in this operation. The <br />minimal amount of petroleum products stored at the mined during a <br />mining cycle will be done as prescribed by applicable laws. The <br />storage tanks will be surrounded by a berm adequate t <br />fluid should a tank rupture. In addition, there is a <br />absorbent materials on site to contain any spills tha <br />occur outside the berms. There are no drill or auger holes on <br />the land. Maximum slopes will be within the limits set forth in <br />the Rules and Regulations of the Board and will be capable of <br />being traversed by machinery. <br />The operator does not expect prevailing hydrologic condi- <br />tions to be disturbed. McAtee Construction Company will comply <br />with applicable Colorado water laws and regulations (as the <br />operator understands them) governing injury to existing water <br />rights in order to minimize any disturbance, which might occur to <br />the prevailing hydrologic balance of the affected land and sur- <br />rounding area and to the quality of water in surface and ground- <br />water systems both during and after the mining operation and <br />during reclamation. In addition, the operator expects to comply <br />with applicable Federal and Colorado water quality laws and <br />regulations. Any water used in the operation of the processing <br />plants, gravel pit and lake surface evaporation covered by Water <br />Court Case #00CW185. <br />This is a dredge facility, but there are no temporary <br />siltation structures involved in this operation and no mining is <br />done within the confines of the river. No U.S. Army Corp of <br />Engineers Permit is required for reclamation because there are no <br />18 <br />retain any <br />equate <br />would <br />
