0 <br /> "HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD" <br /> Rates given are for broadcast seeding. If area to be drilled, divide the rate by 2. Seed <br /> depth of%"-3/4". Proposed time to be seasonal. <br /> *Stated above-each phase will be mined 2-3 acres at a time with 2-3 acres of the phase <br /> being reclaimed prior to moving on. Once section is mined out it will take an estimated <br /> time of 3 months to grade, 3 months to topsoil, 3 months to seed and 3 months of <br /> monitoring-Section to have minimum of two (2) growing seasons from when <br /> reclamation is complete. <br /> *Application of seed to be in the fall season— Between September 1 through October 31 <br /> (2-Month Period) <br /> (e) Phase mining plan will insure that areas that have been recently mined will be re-shaped <br /> and reclaimed to a majority prior to the mining operation moving on. As mentioned <br /> earlier, Duran & Pearce Contractors (Operator) will being using the extracted aggregate <br /> for private use only and will not sell the product commercially. Depending on the <br /> demand for the product, more acreage could be potentially mined per year compared to <br /> others. In the past 25 years that the Martin Pit 1-A has been permitted under the 110 <br /> Permit, only 7-8 acres has been extracted and reclaimed. <br /> a. An estimated 2-3 years will be required for the various stages or phases of <br /> reclamation <br /> b. Each area shall not be any larger than 9.9 acres (Active mining, processing areas <br /> and unreleased reclamation) before the reclaiming process begins. The location <br /> of the operation will move from the current pit to the east to the property line <br /> (staying necessary distance from fence line) and will then continue to the north <br /> as indicated on the maps in Exhibit C. <br /> c. The sequence of reclamation as follows: re-shape and re-grade mine area and <br /> affected area using stockpiled overburden, establish any and all drainage,final <br /> grade, install and shape 6-8" topsoil, broadcast seed and revegetate. <br /> (f) Description <br /> a. The maximum anticipated slope gradient during final grading step to be NO <br /> greater than 3:1. The existing land and contour is not steep, rather the land is <br /> fairly flat. Final grading to match existing land which maybe close to a 6:1 slope. <br /> (g) -Range land: Sharp's Dryland Pasture Mix Application: 30-35bs/Acre <br /> (h) -Cropland: Hard-white Winter Wheat(Variety Snow mass) Application: <br /> 65lbs/Acre <br /> 6 <br />
