i <br />i <br />(e) Reclamation Scheduling <br />I <br />( The primary stages of reclamation will include: overburden backfill final grading, <br />topsoil redistribution and seeding. The stages will occur consecutively. <br />(ii) All areas of disturbance will be reclaimed. All areas of disturbance will be <br />seeded. <br />(iii) Excavated areas in phase one operations will be reclaimed prior to any activity in <br />the phase two area. <br />(iv) The reclamation will commence with the backfilling of the stockpiled overburden <br />material. This material will be backfilled in an even and uniform fashion <br />throughout the excavated areas. This backfilling will be accomplished utilizing a <br />scraper. <br />After the overburden material has been backfilled into the excavated pit area, <br />the area will be graded in an even and uniform manner. The final pit slopes will <br />be accomplished during the grading stage of reclamation. All final pit slopes will <br />be graded to a final gradient less than or equal to a 3 to 1 slope (3 — horizontal to <br />1— vertical). The final grading will be done using a dozer and /or a motor grader. <br />When the grading is complete, the topsoil will be redistributed in an even and <br />uniform fashion throughout all disturbed areas. The topsoil redistribution will be <br />accomplished using a scraper. <br />When the topsoil has been redistributed, the areas will be seeded. <br />(f) Description of the Reclamation Stages <br />(i) Overburden Backfill: The average depth of the overburden is 4 feet (3 feet of <br />overburden will not be stripped, leaving it for the use in the base course product). <br />E -3 <br />
