The relationship between successful reclamation and release from financial assurances was also discussed. 2 SMARA Section 2'772(d) requires that the depth of mining be specified. The reclamation plan states that the depth of excavation will be 50 feetbelow the groundwater table. Roweve;r, groundwater 3 r�Yels can fluctuate. We recommend that depth of mining be tied to a verifiable bench mark that can be referernced in the field for compliance monitoring. it is not apparent from the document how the pits will be rilined when excavation proceeds below the groundwater elevation. Based on discussions during the site visit, ing Will be by dragline below the. water, surface. This information should be included in the reclamation plzn. However, if the pits will be dewatered to facilitate minif g, the local effects of dewatrerin on riparian vegetation g 'p and *hallow water wells, if present, should be evaluated,. COMMENT Recommendation as written is acceptable to the applicant. 3; SH RA Section 2772 (e) requires that a reclamation plan ihclu:de the size and legal description of the lands that will be affected by 'mining. SMARA Section 2772(e) also requires that a. neap of the site clearly show the limits of mining, reclamation, proposed access roads and existing roads on site, and utilities within or adjacent to the mine site. The map provided should be suppleemented to inclUde surveyed benchmarks a legend, of mapm s bols used the phases shown in Exhibits, 2 through 5, final contoursi setbacks from. adjacent Property bbUndariesy soil and waste rock stockpiles, any necessary erosion control aEar:ilties, existiYg and final drainage patterns, and existing and proposed structures East-west and north-touth cross sections, tied to the topographic map of 'thr, site, should be provided, to illustrate the current: and perst-tining configurations of thep' ro used. p mine to�intThe e ma and cross sections are necessary for g Ti1O'7i operation and reclamation, The final inap(s) should be of readable scale. COMMtWt! The applicant has agreed to supplement the 6uIlsting map to show the information regUested.

The end use stated is wildlife habitat and/or creation of a hunting Lodge olr residential area. As discussed during the site visit, the applicant proposes the end use "solely to be wildlifehabitat. The reclamatIon pian should be amended' to reflect the end use proposed. COMMENT: The end use will be designated as wildlife habitat. 5-:. SMARA Section 2772'(1) requires that. the reclamation plan include an assessment of the effect of implementation of the reclamation plan on. future mining in the area. COMMENT: Recommendatio,,j as written is acceptable ito the applicant, 6• SMARA Section 2772.(j) requires that the reclamation plan include a signed statement in which the person submitting the plan accepts responsibility for reclaiming the mined lands in accordance with the approved reclamation plana COMMENT: Recommendation as written is accbptable to the applicant. 7 SMARA Section 2773(a) requires that the reclamation plan establi h +Esit•e-specific criteria for eva.lua'ting comp'lw.ance With the approved reclamation plan including topography revegetation, and sediment and erosion control." The reclamation plan states that natural revegetat' h would be allowed to occur. Minimum performance standards should he developed by the operator in conjunction the with lead agency and SMG. For example, the standards should specifically state the amount of vegetative cover, the density of the final. vegetative cover, and species diversity to be attained over a specific 'monitoring period: We recommene � that a g p monitoring program be deve:loped.prior .to lin a ro p pp vkt,,j and that monitoring continue until, performance standards are met. HonittarIng should be done on an annual basis with reports submitted to the lead agency ` and OMG. The monitoring program ;should addres. the stability and success of the rehabilitated areas, compare these areas to baseline cortditi.ons and performance standards, and s*,tggest remedial measures, where needed, The reviriw of the reports by agency personnel should allow for m0dificatibhs in monitoring rehabilitation, or revegetation technquea; r �Sr, }V.,H, "Rockylt ,ocla ( 1 edge 4 _ COMMENT The applicant has proposed allowing natural revegetation to occur on site. Performance standards would still be required in order to monitor compliancewith SMARA. The applicant will develop performance standards based on rates and densities of natural revegetation at the site. The reclamation plan should include specific quantitative performance standards that relate to the rates of colonization by native 'species. Far example, performance standards should be set for the maximum.nover. of weeds that would be allowed in reclaimed areas,, and describe what action would be taken to eliminate '°weeds if the standard is exceeded. Standards would also be set for species diversity to be attained at the end of a specific time period and. the density of the final vegetative cover. Revegetation to an early seral stage would be appropriate for this site. Establishment of a diversity of species on site, however, mould ensure success of revat etation. Should natural re'vegetat_ion not result in meeting the performance standards, remedial revegetation plans should be prepared and implemented in order to meet the stated end use goal. Mary Alin Showers will consult with the applicant regarding natural revegetation standards S. SMARA Section 2773.1 requires that financial assurances be requiredof all sur=ace mining operations to guarantee site reclamation; that the financial assurances be payable to the SMAILk head agency and the State Geologist; and -that the financial assurances be submitted to the State Geologist for review and comment COGENT' Reconoaa ,dation as written is acceptable to the I applicant. 9.

The applicant will delibeste riparian vegetation ion the site map for inclusion in the reclamation plan, and 'will specify in: the plan that riparian, areas will not be disturbed. As long as riparian areas are not disturbed., surveys for the majority of Sensi'ti've species listed above will not be necessary. Surveys for the Swainson's hawk are still recommended because of the sensitivity of swv ainson's hawks to disturbance during the resting and fledgingseason. Should, the western yellow-billed cuckoo- or the willow flycatcher occur on site, the applicant will consult with the California Department of Fish and Game regarding, the sensitivity of these species to disturbance. The applicant will also provide an employee orientation program so that mine workers will be aware of the sensitivity of riparian areas anti of areas to be avoided during mining operations. 11.

Information, on this species is limited. However, the species, is known to prefer densta willow thickets near slow moving streams or standing water for nesting and roosting. The species is listed as Endangered by the State of California. i METHODS Iforth State Resources, Inc. conducted an on-site survey for the three species described, in the previous section of this report. Tapes vocalizations of the willow flycatcher were reviewed for recognition prior to visiting the. site, 'rhe mounds of dredger tailings are not expected to provide habitat for any, of the species of concern, thereby allowing the field scientists to focus upon the isolated stands of Valley Foothill Riparian, habitat; The on-site survey applied a traverse -and -station observation technique.; Each vegetattb-d stand was entered and the entire perimeter was traversed. Every 200 to 500 feet of the traverser the NSF biologist stepped to listen and to observe wildlife movements. Each wildlife species observed Was ,identified and recorded by station observation number. A 1:6000 scale black -and - white aerial photograph (dated, Harsh 1991) was used to locate observation stations, Observations were made using binoculars, a spotting scope', the unaided, eye, and listening to vocalizations RSR also requested a search for the sped' ies thiotigh the California Natural Diversity batabase tin ,Fij+lust S, 1992., At this time no Mate -listed Wildlife species c1 animal species of special concern etre known to accur within the proposed expansion isite boundary. r ' EXHIBIT PrOPpsed Ex1gens e,, A MATHEWS READYMIX, Inc.

" The reclamation plan states that natural zevegetation would be allowed to occur'.. Minimum performance st'andailds should be developed by the operator in conjunction with, the lead agency and DMG.

Based on field observations by staff, dominant tree: species include Fremont cottonwood (EL)pu us fremonti ) , va1).ey oak (Quercus lobtta) and willow (Salix sp.). several species of shrubby willows .and valley elderberry (SambucIzs mexicana) also occur on site,.. Poison oak (Toxicodendron d'versiloba) and blackberry (Kubus sp.) are common in the understory: Stands of riparian vegetation can serve as refugia (refuges for species when surrounding habitat is lost,) and can provide significant habitat for many sensitive species. Riparian habitat within the project area could provide resident or migratory habitat for these sensitive animals: Southwestern pond turtle (Clemmys marmorata allida,) Stater Species of 'Special Concern Federal: Proposed for listing Giant garter snake (Thamnoph s couchi giaas) State: Threatened; California Protected Reptile Swainsonts hawk (Buteo,swainsoni) State:: Threatened Western yellow -billed cuckoo (Goccyzus americanus occidentalis,) State: Endangered Lcr`g-earecd owl (Agio otus) state':: Species of Speci Nir„ ThomasilTiast Pane 5 I' consu"6;tati_on with, the Califoa:nia Departm4ent of Water ReSOUT"c:es, Reclamation Board,, may be required..

CCR Stiction 35.02(b)(2) requires that a reclamation plan address public health and safety, giving consderzation to the 'type degree and of present and probable future public exposure to the site. As written, the reclamation. plan does not address this requirement, 13. CCA Seco an 3507 (b) (3) requires that the planned slope consider gradients landscaping requirements. A grading plan with reclaimed contours should be included in the reclamation pian. Slope stability and groundwater fluctuations should be considered in the grading plan. Habitat values can be greatly enhanced with increased shoreline diversity, e.g, inlets and coves or varied slope A. gradients. revegetation program may be accommodated by using slopes that can be easily traversed. rSild slope gradients may increase the human safety factor. These considerations should beincorporatedinto the design. 14. CCR Section 3503(a)(1) requires that the removal of vegetation and overburden in advance of mining be kept at a minimum. Based on discussions during the field visit, ri,arian vegetation will be protected. during the mining operation, Wn_ strongly sup,�ort this proposal, vege:taiio on site is a lialli.able resource that can be used for site reclamation We recommend that the reclamation plan shote areas of vegetation and its bomposit,ion and discuss methods for minimizing itst damage or removal during the: mining operation. The placement of brightly colOrtd plastic construction fencing at the dripline of each tree or, around stands of trees is an effective method of protecting the crown and root zone of trees from mining activities. The drpline is located at the widest extent of the tree canopy, 15 CCR Section 350;`3(x)(3) addresses the construction of erosion con' trot facilities. The reclamation plan should. include a discussion of what type(s) of erosion control will be employed during the mining operation. If no erosion; control, facilities are planned, the reclamation. pian should explain why these facilities are riot necessary, 16" CCR Sedtxon 3503(f) addresses r`sozling.

A site v" sit wa$ Conducted by Mary Ann Showers and Catherine Gaggini on ; utle 1, 1992. The following ;comments:; prepared by James Pompy, Mary Ann Shlowersd. and Catherine Gaggini, are offered to assist in your review of t.s project. IT.'Ne Surface tLrii vlg and Reclamation Act of 1975 (SMA.RA) (Public, urces Code Section 2710 et seq.) and the State Miffing and C.6ology Board regulations for. Jur€ace mining and reclamation practice kCalifornia Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 14, Chapter 81 Artidl:e i, Section 3500 et seq.) address reclamation plans arid. the specific items to be addressed or included in 'reclazation plans. 1. s14Ap-t Section 2772 (c) requires that the reclamation plan state Initiation and termination dates: SxARA Sectiot> 21 2 (f) requires that the reclamation plan describe the surface mining operation and provide a time schedule for completion of each segment of mining so that, reclamation can 1 be initiated at tIte earliest possible time on those port kbns of the mine:` lands that will not be subject to farther disturbance by the surface mining operation.. The draft reclamation plan does not state speciric dates and indicates that the proposed mining r;',ll continue for epptoxiinate y 15 to 20 years. We recotttmend that specifi't dates be established for initiation the termination o� mining in accordAnde with SMARA r r Yr Thomas Last Rage ?_' Reclamation. is proposed to be phased with excavation. Initiation and termination dates for each phase should be listgcl. These dates should correlate with the mining operation.in,itiation and, termination dates. Areas of completed and current reclamation could then be identified during the annual sMARA inspections. Success; of the reclamation treatments could be evaluated and the reclamation plan refined as needed. Successful reclamation of each phase would allow `the release of a portion, of the financial assurances (SI'IRA Section 2773.1) .held to ensure- -that reclamation is accomplished. 2. SMARM section 2772(d) regUires that the depth of mining be csr-- specified. The reclamation plan states that the depth of excavation will be 5o feet :below the groundwater table. IiOwever, caloundwater levels can flt:ctuate, We rec that depth of mining be tied to a verifiable bench oarkdthat can be referenced in the field for coup liance monitoring. It is not apparent from the document how the pits will be mined when excavation Prot zeds below the groundw�jter elevation. Based on discussions during the site -;T.isit mining will be by.dragline below the water surface. This information should be included in the recla7natior plan.
