Mining sites must comply with the Department of Natural Resources reclamation <br />requirements. Oti sites with existing mined slopes which are not subject to DNR regulations, <br />slopes must be rernediated to 1.5 horizontal : 1 vertical (I.SH:iV), except for glacial till <br />slopes which can be remediated to 1 H: I V slope if approved by a qualified geotechnical <br />engineer. All remediated slopes must be covered with top soil material that will support <br />vegetaticn, jute matting or equivalent; and be revegetated with hydrosecd, groundcover and <br />shrubs. (SEPA Earth and Water Policies) <br />8. Temporary slopes within native glacial soils shall be limited to a maximum angle of 1/2 foot <br />horizontal (H) to 1 f�ot vertical (V). Temporary slopes within fill soils shall be limited to a <br />maz_imum angle of 1 H:1 V. Temporary slopes must be covered w•ith an impermeable <br />membrane, such as visqueen or mulch, in order to prevent precipitation &om coming in <br />contact with the soils. (SEPA Earth and Water Policies) <br />Permanent slopes steeper than 25% shall be designed by a professional civil or geoteclmical <br />engineer. The design should present appropriate erosion control measures which may <br />include: hydroseeding, erosion control blankets, rip-rap, jute matting, and visquee:i, (SEPA <br />Earih and �i�ater Policies) <br />9. Grading/filling must not adversely affect the hydrelogy of streams and existing or created <br />wetlands. (SEPA Earth and Water Policies) <br />10. Grading/filling on-site shall not adversely affect adjoining sites. (SEPA Earth and Water <br />Pulicies) <br />11. Clearing limits shall be staked, flagged, and/or fenced off prior to initiation of any cleazing or <br />land alteration activities as approved by the Engineering and Public Services Inspector. <br />Where the clearing limit is the edge of a geologically hazaze��us azea or its buffer, the clearing <br />limit shall be fenced during construction with a chain link or solid wooden fence a minimum <br />of 4 feet high. � � <br />Following completion of construction and prior to issuance of occupancy permits, a <br />permanent fence must be provided along the edge of the buffer. The fence must be split rail <br />or an altemative design approved by the Planning Director. Environmentally sei;sitive azeas <br />signs must be posted on the fence. (SEPA Earth and Water Policies) <br />Section 4: SURFACE/GROUNDWATER, PLANTS AND ANIMALS <br />4.1 Threshold <br />If a priority species is mapped on or within 300 feet of a site or documented on the site by a <br />qualified individual, additional SEPA review may bc required. This will require coordination <br />with the Department of Fish and Wildlife to determine appropriate mitigation measures. These <br />may include, but are not limited to, seasonal restriction on construction, provision of bufi'ers, <br />and preservation of existing vegetation. <br />
