Grade pit floor b. Topsoil 4" - 8" - average 6" c. Scarify if necessary d. Fertilize e. Drill seed f. Mulch is required The pit floor will be left level with possibly a slight pitch to the south. There will be little to no backsloping as the operation consists solely of removing the tops of some knolls. The only backsloping will be on the north boundary south of St. Charles Road. The reclamation plan will include the additional site preparation guidance of using a cover crop including sorghum, oats, millet, barley or tridacale (sterile wheat), seeded in the summer, then in fall drill reclamation seed including switch grass in the sandy areas on soil preparation and grading consisting of minor undulation, with rougher surfaces preferred over smooth, compacted areas prone to runoff. Soil types throughout the site will be retested upon final grading of areas to be reclaimed and seed mixes, including cover crop seeding, will be subject to further consultation with the soil conservation service and local seed companies to optimize results. Cover crop will be mowed to a height of 1-2 feet annually, and before reclamation seeding. All slopes will be finished 3:1. Rip -rap (size L or IU will be placed for erosion control at locations where arroyo's enter and exit the property. The weed control plan includes recent action to remove tamarisk plants within permitted boundary and any other noxious weeds encountered. The final land use for all portions of the affected lands will be agricultural grazing and ranching. Surrounding land uses in this vicinity are agricultural with a commercial solar power and industrial power plant nearby. Total area of permit acreage will be 180 Ac-+. The expected physical appearance of the area of affected land will include temporary stockpiles of material being mined, topsoil reserves, and manageable, safe slopes to prevent hazards and site erosion.
