Maps F-1 and F-2 show the site after full reclamation. Also, post-mine land use areas are shown. It is <br /> too premature to show any more detail than that shown for the post-mining land use on the permit area, <br /> however,areas designated for each of the post-mining land uses,commercial,open space/wildlife habitat <br /> and residential are shown. The cross section lines A and B are used to show the original, mining, and <br /> final topography on Map C=-3. Note that the original topography is estimated. <br /> Revegetation details are given at the end of this Exhibit. <br /> 3.0 Gravel Pit Reclamation <br /> When gravel mining moves from the old 110 area to the area north of the gold plant, the old 110 area <br /> will be reclaimed. This will be done with dozers grading the surface to slopes no steeper than 3H:IV, as <br /> shown on Map F. This will be done within 2 years of the approval of the 2003 amendment, since the <br /> bulk of the gravel mine reserves exist north of the gold plant area. Once the 110 area is graded, it will <br /> be covered with fines from the operation and/or Stockpiles#1 or <br /> #4. Since the 110 area is approximately 11.8 acres, the amount of fines needed to cover the area with 4.5 <br /> inches thickness is 7139 cy. The topsoil will be spread and graded with a small dozer(135 size)to ensure <br /> that no equipment compaction occurs. <br /> Although a large portion of the post-mine site will be used for residential use, all areas (other than roads <br /> or ponds) will be covered with substitute fines or topsoil to a depth of 4.5" after final grading. <br /> There is a pre-law highwall along the northeast edge of the permit area from the gravel mine camp area <br /> to the south a distance of approximately 1000 feet. The highwall ranges from 20 feet high to 40 feet high <br /> and is nearly vertical.No topsoil was ever salvaged from this activity. The highwall is structurally stable <br /> but is not desirable for the post-mining land use. The intent is to reclaim the highwall by a combination <br /> of backfilling and cutting from above the highwall. Certain areas are very close to the property boundary <br /> and must utilize backfilling. Since these areas are pre-law,no commitment can be made to reclaim these <br /> areas without ongoing mining providing the funds and material to do the work. For this reason, the <br /> smoothing of these highwalls is not shown on Maps F 1 or F2, however, through ongoing mining, the <br /> operator plans to do the work. It is better for the landowner's property value to have the highwalls <br /> Alma Place Mine 01/15 47 <br />
