Naturally formed hillslopes at the site are stable. Pit <br /> slopes shall be excavated at a 2 : 1 ratio, resulting in stable <br /> pit walls. No further stabilization of slopes is deemed <br /> necessary. <br /> There will be no permanent waste dumps or tailings piles <br /> resulting from the quarrying or processing operations. All <br /> exposed, disturbed or barren areas will be reclaimed or <br /> revegetated. <br /> Provision shall be made to prevent water from the existing <br /> watercourse and wetland habitat from forming new drainage into <br /> the bottom of the southern pit. <br /> Upon completion of the 23-year duration prosect, all machinery <br /> and office equipment will be sold and moved offsite, or <br /> transferred to a new location. Any remaining refuse will be <br /> removed from the site. <br /> No pesticides, herbicides, chemical flocculants or other <br /> Potentially toxic chemicals have been or shall be used at the <br /> prosect site. The only potential contaminants to surface and <br /> groundwater are the clays and fine silts resulting from the <br /> processing operation. These clays and fine silts have been <br /> adequately addressed and controlled in the Reclamation Plan. <br /> As no excavation or quarrying operations will take place <br /> within 100 feet of the centerline of any streambed or <br /> watercourse, it is anticipated that no erosion or <br /> sedimentation will occur within streambeds. The Reclamation <br /> Plan adequately addresses the replacement of topsoil and the <br /> revegetation of all exposed, disturbed or barren areas. This <br /> revegetation will. prevent the transport of sediments downslope <br /> and into existing watercourses and streambeds. <br /> No hazardous chemicals or toxic substances have been used on <br /> the site. All equipment is to be dismantled and removed. No <br /> residual hazards will remain at the site. <br /> Topsoil and overburden materials removed from the quarry areas <br /> and stockpiled shall be put back in place during the <br /> reclamation operation. The applicant shall consult with the <br /> USDA Soil Conservation Service or the Agricultural Extension <br /> Service for re-seeding recommendations and shall adopt these <br /> recommendations as part of the rehabilitation plan. <br /> 26. If applicant plans short-term phasing of reclamation, describe <br /> in detail specific reclamation to be accomplished during first <br /> phase: <br /> Reclamation will take place in a single-phase operation, <br /> 13 <br /> CONDOR <br />
