RECLAMATION PLAN <br />EXHIBIT D <br />6.3.4 - Final grading will be such that the topography is <br />appropriate to the reclaimed use of the property, i.e., as <br />rangeland. , <br />MINING WILL PROGRESS ACROSS <br />THE AREA PREVIOUSLY DISTURBED BY MINING TO THE BASE OF THE EXISTING HIGHWALL . <br />THIS HIGHWALL IS APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 25 FEET TALL AND WAS CREATED DURING THE <br />LAST MINING EVENT MANY YEARS AGO. WE WILL NOT DISTURBE THE EXISTING HIGHWALL . <br />SOME SCALING WILL BE NECESSARY TO REMOVED ROCK THAT IS LOOSE TO PREVENT IT FROM <br />FALLING ONTO THE MINE FLOOR. FROM THE TOE OF THIS HIGHWALL THE FLOOR WILL BE <br />LOWERED APPROXIMATELY 12 FEET TO A LEVEL CONSISTENT WITH THE ROADWAY ON THE <br />SOUTH SIDE OF THE MINE. AT NO TIME WILL A 4 0 TO 5 0 FOOT HIGHWALL BE <br />CONSTRUCTED AT THE MINE. The floor will be a gentle slope from the <br />toe of the face to the road. This will maintain the historic <br />drainage across the mine. This sloping rate is shallower then <br />what is found on the property now. <br />Once mining is complete, the floor area will be shaped and <br />graded leaving the area suitable of use as an equipment parking <br />area and rangeland. <br />Weed control will be implemented by our concentrate on <br />controlling the noxious weeds on the reclaimed area following <br />normal NRCS recommendations. <br />
