2.05.4 Reclamation PIan. <br />(1) The areas disturbed by the mine loadout will be returned to a cropland land <br />use. This will be accomplished by restoring the area to the approximate original <br />contour. Surface areas will be covered contoured and seeded with the approved seed <br />mix. <br />(2) Required Information. <br />(a) Timetable for each phase of the reclamation. <br />See schedule of revegetation below. Reclamation of the site will take <br />two construction seasons. The first phase of reclamation is the <br />removal of buildings and structures from the site. This phase will occur <br />during year one of the reclamation schedule. The second phase of <br />reclamation will be recontouring the area to approximate original <br />contours, placing available topsoil on the regraded area and seeding <br />the area with the approved seed mix. This second phase will take <br />approximately six months. <br />(b) Cost estimate for the reclamation with calculations. <br />A detailed estimate of the cost of reclamation of the proposed mine and <br />mine facilities is presented in Section 3.05 Performance Bond <br />Requirements. <br />(c) A plan for backfilling, soil stabilizing, compacting, and grading. <br />The mine loadout area was constructed using approximate balanced <br />cut and fill technique. To reclaim the areas to approximate original <br />contour, the fill placed on the outslopes must be returned to the cut <br />slopes. The Postminig Topography Map No. 8 shows the final contours <br />of the land. <br />RN -07 2.05-23 02118 <br />
