Maps F -I 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 (D5 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 />
