This material will be protected from erosion and contamination by acidic or toxic materials and preserved in a condition suitable for later use. D The area will be backfilled, graded and recontoured using strippings, overburden, and topSOil to a condition that allows for the reestablishment of renewable resources on the site within a reasonable period of time. It will be stabilized to a condition that will allow sufficient moisture to be retained for natural revegetation. D Stockpiled topsoil will be spread over the reclaimed area to promote natural plant growth that can reasonably be expected to revegetate the area withi n flve years. o Stream channel diversions will be relocated to a stable location in the flood plain. D Exploration trenches or pits will be backfilled. Brush piles, vegetation, topsoil, and other organics will be spread on the backfdled surface to inhibH erosion and promote natural revegetation. o All buildings and stnuctures constnucted, used, or improved on land owned by the State of Alaska will be removed, dismantled, or otherwise properly disposed of at the completion of the mining operation.
