In those areas where revegetation is part of the reclamation plan, the Operator will <br />revegetate the land in such a manner so as to establish a diverse, effective, and long- <br />lasting vegetative cover that is capable of self -regeneration without continued dependence <br />on irrigation or fertilizer and is at least equal in extent of cover to the natural vegetation of <br />the surrounding area. Seed will be drilled and mulched. <br />The revegetation seeding and plant list on the Reclamation Plan Map contains the <br />preferred species of grasses, shrubs and trees to be planted. <br />Seeding will take place once final grading and replacement of topsoil have been <br />completed. Timing of seeding will be consistent with standard horticultural practice for <br />dryland applications - generally between late September and the middle of April to ensure <br />there is adequate moisture for germination. <br />(e) A plan or schedule indicating how and when reclamation will be implemented. <br />Include: <br />i. An estimate of the periods of time which will be required for the various stages or <br />phases of reclamation. <br />Please refer to the Timetable for Mining and Reclamation in Section (e) of Exhibit D. <br />ii. A description of the size and location of each area to be reclaimed during each <br />phase. <br />Please refer to the Reclamation Plan Map (Exhibit F). <br />iii. Outlining the sequence in which each stage or phase of reclamation will be carried <br />out. <br />Please refer to the Timetable for Mining and Reclamation in Section (e) of Exhibit D. <br />(0 A description of. <br />i. Final grading — maximum anticipated slope gradient or expected ranges thereof; <br />The finished slopes of the reservoir will be 3 horizontal to 1 vertical. <br />ii. Seeding — types, mixtures, quantities and time of application; <br />Please refer to the Reclamation Plan Map for the list of plant materials and seeds to be <br />utilized. The operator will seed during the appropriate season to ensure adequate <br />moisture for germination and implement weed controls to allow the grasses to successfully <br />establish. Additional plantings may be installed once the reservoirs are full of water and <br />the grasses are established. <br />iii. Fertilization —types, mixtures, quantities, and time of application; <br />The type and application rate of fertilizer shall be determined based on a soil test at the <br />time of final reclamation. <br />Bestway Concrete & Aggregates — Lee Amendment -N.
