This plan will be applied over <br />the 90.96 (87 Morgan + 3.96 WFC) acres of prime farmland disturbed within the permit area The <br />plan is designed to restore crop production as quickly as possible, however success will be <br />determined based on crop yields for the preceding three years prior to bond release. Although soil <br />testing will be conducted, these results will be used to predict crop responses; only crop yield will <br />be utilized to determine reclamation success. <br />All of the Prime Farmlands within the permit area will be reclaimed to the post mine land use <br />of Irrigated Cropland. Section 2.05.4(2)(e) contains the revegetation plans for all post mine land <br />uses, with Irrigated Cropland discussed in subsection 5.0. The plans discussed below are additional <br />steps that only apply to prime farmland. <br />6.1 Prime Farmland Revegetation Success Criteria <br />Two areas of irrigated cropland will be established within the New Horizon permit area. One is the <br />Morgan Property, and the other is a small portion of the WFC property adjacent to Pond 013. <br />August 2013 (PR -08) 2.06.6 -4 <br />
