(e) a reclamation plan addressing: (i) types of existing dominant vegetation; (ii) segregation and stockpiling of materials capable of supporting vegetation as determined by soils analysis or practical revegetation experience; (iii) figures outlining depths of and volumes of topsoil to be stockpiled, measures to protect topsoil from wind and water erosion, and pollutants; (iv) method of depths, volumes, removal and storage of other overburden, plus a description of the procedures to be used in overburden replacement and stabilization and high wall elimination, including: 1) slope factors; 2) lift heights; 3) terracing; and 4) any testing procedures employed. (v) methods of processing and disposing of waste and reject material, including toxicity analysis explaining in detail means for containment and long range stability; (vi) existing site and post- contour cross sections typical of re-grading designs; (vii) redistribution of topsoil and subsoil on the re-graded area, indicating final depth of soil cover; (viii) re-seeding types or species to be used, the rate of application per acre, the season planting will occur, fertilizers or soil amendments required to aid re-vegetation, providing, however, that seed types, rates of application and suitability of area to re-seeding shall be based upon recommendations from the Soil Conservation District; (ix) a description of the reclamation which shall include reasoning for the leaving of roads, pads or other similar structures and features; and (x) a list all parties responsible for various stages of reclamation. (f) an operations plan that outlines: (i) proposed hours of operation; (ii) traffic safety measures proposed on existing roads and streets adjoining the site; (iii) the location, arrangement and dimensions of loading and processing facilities; (iv) projected figures for quantities of materials to be removed from specified locations; (v) an open and closure plan stating the phasing, acreage and duration of the operation involved, with the maps and narratives that describe the expected sequence of disturbed areas, processing and material treatment; (vi) the extent of the land previously disturbed as well as the proposed extent of land disturbance; (vii) areas of overburden and/or topsoil removal and storage areas, also the location of disposal and stockpile areas for reject materials, waste, and useable materials; (viii) information on known test drilling, locations and status, and plans for any future test drilling and areas where that will occur; (ix) appropriation and use of necessary water rights; (x) the design, construction and maintenance of access and haul roads, including cross sections showing drainage, erosion control, and profiles of road grades; and (xi) on-site control of surface and storm water drainage. (xii) evidence that all required federal and state requirements for environmental health, occupational safety, and reclamation are complete and approved, as required, the each of the following entities: (a) Tooele County Health Department; (b) OSHA, State of Utah OGM, and MSHA; (c) Soil Conservation District; (d) Utah Department of Transportation; and (e) the State archeologist and paleontologist. (xiii) a statement identifying mitigation of hazards to the public safety and welfare, including test hole closures, fencing slopes, disposal of trash, scrap metal, wood, extraneous debris, waste oil, solvents, fuels, chemicals, explosives and sewage; (xiv) access to county or state road design, to include acceleration, deceleration and left turn lanes; and (xv) methods of fugitive dust suppression for processing and site operations. (2) Applications for conditional use permits shall have a design review by the Department of Engineering completed before being placed on the Planning Commission agenda. The Department of Engineering shall schedule a meeting with the applicant, roads, and planning department. The Department of Engineering may make a site visit with the applicant as part of the review. (Ord. 2005-30, 11/22/05)
