continue to save and segregate all soils encountered in disturbed areas. A <br /> discussion of location of stockpiles is included in the subsection of Exhibit D <br /> entitled "Mining Plan." <br /> When it is determined that a stockpile of topsoil will remain in place and <br /> undisturbed for more than a year, the stockpile will be planted with the following <br /> seed mixture: <br /> Species Lbs/Acre (broadcast) <br /> Crested Wheatgrass, Fairway 6 <br /> Intermediate Wheatgrass 6 <br /> Total Lbs per acre 13 <br /> The mixture will be broadcast between September 1 and May 31, (with <br /> preference to fall seeding in September, October and November so the soil <br /> accumulate a reserve of moisture from winter precipitation)when weather and <br /> ground conditions permit. Fertilizing and mulching is considered unnecessary. <br /> Mining Plan. Reference is made to Exhibit D-1. <br /> The mining operation will continue year-round on a demand basis. When <br /> clay or sand is required by the brick plants, the material will be removed from <br /> stockpiles at the mine. As the stockpiles are reduced, new stockpiles will be <br /> created with mined materials. On-site equipment may include, but is not limited <br /> to, dozers, scrapers, backhoes, front-end loaders, excavators, off highway dump <br /> trucks, over the road dump trucks and a water truck. <br /> Mining will be conducted in eight stages. Stages 1 and 3 are complete, <br /> have been reclaimed, and released from the permit. Due to the steeply dipping <br /> beds and the clay quality changes with depth, the mine will mine a large area and <br /> reclamation will be performed at the end of mining. Because of the need to mine <br /> clays simultaneously from the north and south ends of the affected land, several <br /> mining stages will be affected at the same time. <br /> Generally, Stage 2 will be mined along the entire strike length to average <br /> any material differences from different elevations of the mine. Stage 4 will be <br /> 10 Revised October 2017 <br />
