i This question is structured to respond to a pit type excavation. Sheet 1 and sheet 2 on the attached plates reflect what is in reality, a grading and reclamation project. Grading will take place from a high point near the center of the property to the high water mark of the river on the north, east and south shores. As previously described, this will accomplish major reclamation of the site resulting in control of existing long term erosional problems and hazards. The recontoured site as reflected on the attached sheets will cause the river to be forced back into the main channel thereby preventing further degradation of the site and eliminating the potential threat to downstream configuration and use of the river. This, in summary, will result in long term stabilization at the site. There are no drainages or other water courses on the property. There are no structures on the property. The only proposed equipment will be mobile equipment that will be removed upon completion of the project or during those periods of time when the property is threatened by flood events. The decision not to plant vegetation on this site is based on the longer term maintenance requirements at the site. Vegetation would prevent the long term grading of the site as now envisioned. This, in turn, would potentially result in redevelopment of the erosional conditions that now exist at the site. 26. If applicant plans short-term phasing of reclamation, describe in detail specific reclamation to be accomplished during first phase. Reclamation has been described elsewhere in this application. 27. Describe how reclamation of site in this manner may affect future mining at the site and in the surrounding area. This question does not appear applicable to this project.
