EXHIBIT D <br /> Rule 6.3.4 <br /> Reclamation Plan <br /> As the previously attached maps and images show, a large portion of the permit area is currently <br /> exposed rockland. Applicant does not intend to alter the current condition of the land except for <br /> removing rock from the extraction site and the improvement and/or maintenance of a haul/access <br /> road. <br /> Reclamation of the permit area will return the site to a post-mining land use of rangeland, which <br /> is consistent with the surrounding area. Grading will be done, as necessary,to create a grade that <br /> conforms to the adjacent topography and natural landforms. Grading will also be done in a <br /> manner to control erosion and siltation of the affected lands,and to protect areas outside the <br /> affected land from slides and other damage.No highwalls are expected at the site. <br /> Topsoil or overburden from the site will be replaced from where it was removed and will be <br /> reseeded as needed with a mixture of native grasses to conform with the condition of the site <br /> prior to the operation. Seeding will occur at a proper time of year to prevent freezing. <br /> Applicant does not intend to remove any timber on the permitted site. To the extent timber <br /> removal becomes necessary; Applicant will replant the area with appropriate seed to conform <br /> with the timber removed. <br /> Applicant will take into account the safety and protection of wildlife on the site,at the processing <br /> site and along all access roads. <br /> Any constructed roads will be removed and road areas will be included in the reclamation <br /> activities. Applicant's intention to leave the existing access road unreclaimed is discussed in <br /> section (d)below. <br /> The majority of the reclamation will commence immediately upon final extraction of the <br /> materials or prior to permit expiration. <br /> The site will be monitored seasonally on a monthly basis to determine revegetation success and <br /> to evaluate the site stability, as necessary. All necessary steps will be taken to control soil erosion <br /> and repair damaged lands. If after one season the seeding looks to be a failure, reseeding will be <br /> done in accordance with this plan. <br /> Trash will be removed from the site. Vegetation cleared from the site will be properly disposed <br /> of or dispersed. <br /> (1) Details of the Reclamation Plan are as follows: <br /> (a) Overburden Replacement: <br /> Van Valkenburg Cattle Co.,LLC <br /> Construction Materials Limited Impact(110) Operation Reclamation Permit Application Form <br /> Page 1 of 4 <br />
