RECLAMATION PLAN TIMETABLE The Little Johnson area should not be allowed to sit unreclaimed for very long. Reclamation should be done immediately after the completion of mining or as close to the time of seeding as possible. Delays in reclamation will allow abundant weed growth to become established and that will make the revegetation program more difficult and less successful. fn the event the reservoir wilf be constructed either soon after compf etion of mining or-at . � afterwards, . . . . te permit change may be submitted that wiff address the needs at that time. hi the event there is a considerabfe defay in the implementation of recfamation before the reservoir is built, appropriate changes in the pennit or pernfittee will be sought to accommodate the desires mid needs of the landowner.

That new factor would currently be the Fountain Mutual Ditch. So long as the ditch is in its current location a decision to remove the sand under the ditch corridor cannot be made, .
