EXHIBIT "D"- Reclamation Plan <br /> The current conditions of the mine are as cropland. The soils in the mine area are loams <br /> (Colby Loam, 0-1 percent slopes; Weld Loam 0-1 percent slope, NRCS report attached). Once <br /> Arnolds Custom Seeding LLC gets approval of the (110) limited impact operation reclamation <br /> permit the top 4 inches of top soil will be salvaged and stock piled out of the way of the mining <br /> activities. <br /> Upon completion of the mining, projected to be June 2017, the sub surface layer <br /> (approx. 12"-24" deep) will be graded to best suit water drainage for farming practice. The top <br /> soil will then be placed back into position over sub soil in a smooth even layer across entire <br /> mine location. The mined area will then be de-compacted using an agricultural type deep <br /> ripper to a minimum depth of 18". After the grading and deep ripping are completed the <br /> farmer will plant crop back into the disturbed area when it best fits the schedule for farming <br /> practice of crop production. <br />
