Wildlife habitat is extremely limited on that portion of the property <br /> proposed for excavation. Other areas that reflect high cruality wildlife <br /> habitat will be set aside and preserved. These areas may be enhanced by <br /> additional plantings if this is deemed desirable or necessary upon <br /> appropriate agency review. <br /> 23. Describe any actions being taken during the project and as part of the <br /> reclamation process that will enhance wildlife habitat. Also describe <br /> any trees or vegetation to be removed: <br /> Vegetation to be removed from the project site are grasses and low lying <br /> shrub vegetation described as willow and buttonbrush. No wetlands will <br /> be impacted by the project. It is proposed that an area outlined on <br /> Attachment II be enhanced as a wetlands to include vegetation and wildlife <br /> preservation to off-set any potential impact to wildlife habitat. This <br /> area has various natural wetlands elements that could be enhanced through <br /> plantings and possible additional fencing. <br /> 24. Describe soil conditions and proposed soil salvage plan. <br /> No soil cover is present on the sands now proposed for excavation. The <br /> soil salvage program involves completing the project to prevent erosion <br /> of the sand bar during flood events. <br /> 25. On an attached page, describe methods, sequence, and timing for bringing <br /> reclamation of the land to its end state. Indicate on the site plan, or <br /> on diagrams as necessary. Include discussion of the following items: <br /> A. Backfilling and grading <br /> B. Stabilization of slopes <br /> C. Stabilization of permanent waste dumps, tailings, etc. <br /> D. Rehabilitation of pre-mining drainage <br /> E. Removal, disposal or utilization of residual equipment, structures, <br /> refuse, etc, <br /> F. Control of contaminants, especially with regard to surface runoff <br /> and ground water <br /> G. Treatment of streambeds to control erosion and sedimentation <br /> H. Removal or minimization of residual hazards <br /> I. Resoiling and revegetation, with evidence that selected plants can <br /> survive the specific topography, soil, and climate of the site <br /> 3 <br /> s <br /> k <br />
