Blue Pit 112 Permit Amendment <br />million cubic yards. The annual reports will document the amount of import material imported on <br />site each year. <br />Revegetation Plan <br />Trees will be installed along the northern border of Mining Area 2 prior to any new mining activity. <br />Prior to any mining in the expansion area, WSA proposes to plant at least 65 trees of at least io feet <br />height along the northern boundary of the expansion area. This will help shield all activities from <br />the view of the homes located north of the pit. WSA will irrigate these trees and maintain them <br />over the life of the operation. It is planned to plant a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees. <br />As areas are mined out they will be revegetated. If the areas are in their final reclamation status, <br />topsoil will be placed and the final seed mix will be applied. If the area has not been backfilled; is <br />not in its final reclamation status; and is visible to the homes north of the site, the temporary seed <br />mix will be applied to mitigate visual impact. The three different seed mixes to be used for <br />reclamation of the Blue Pit are as follows: <br />Temporary Seed Mix <br />Common Name % of mixture Drill Seed PLS/ acre <br />Annual Ryegrass 10 5 <br />Triticale io 5 <br />Oats io 5 <br />Crested Wheatgrass 10 5 <br />Smooth Brome 10 5 <br />Slender Wheatgrass 50 25 <br />Totals 100 50 <br />Irrigated Pasture Seed Mix <br />Common Name % of mixture Drill Seed PLS/ acre <br />Alfalfa 44 12.0 <br />Orchard Grass 30 8.o <br />Meadow Brome 26 7.0 <br />Total 100 27.0 <br />Blue Pit May 2014 E -4 <br />
