EXHIBIT D <br /> RECLAMATION PLAN: <br /> The mining limits of this Reclamation Plan are a 0.66 acre site and 0.25 acre site located in the <br /> northwesterly corner of the permit boundary. The remainder of the Permit Boundary area lying <br /> outside of the mining limits is either undisturbed or still being used for future mining and is not a <br /> part of this Reclamation application. <br /> Luke the Duke,LLC is proposing to reclaim the two existing pits as Developed Water Resources. <br /> The pits will be sculptured into ponds and the bottoms will be plated with approximately 8"-12" <br /> of overburden. The ponds will be approximately 13 feet deep with 3:1 slopes. No other slopes <br /> were disturbed during the mining process. <br /> Fifty Aspen trees (3'-4' tall) will be planted around the perimeter of both ponds. These trees will <br /> be maintained from the ponds until such time they are established. The stored top soil will be <br /> reclaimed and spread over the site at a 12" depth where needed. To prevent soil compaction no <br /> wheel or track mounted vehicles or equipment will be allowed on the reclaimed surface subsequent <br /> to top soil installation. To stabilize the non-compacted top soil a Dry land Pasture blend seed <br /> mixture will be no till drilled over the topsoil at a rate of 201bs per acre. The site will be seeded in <br /> the spring of 2015. The applicant will be responsible for any weed control once the grass is <br /> established.No fertilizer or mulch is being proposed. <br /> The gravel and topsoil stockpile areas and the road will remain after this reclamation. <br /> No office,shop/maintenance buildings,processing facilities,or underground openings are existing <br /> or proposed.No on-site water is to be used in conjunction with this operation. The hydrology of <br /> the site will not be altered from its natural flows. <br /> The estimated start date of this Reclamation Project would September 2014 and the completion <br /> date would be in the spring of 2015. The maximum disturbance point of this mining would be at <br /> the time the remaining gravel is removed from the site. <br /> 1.
