General Description <br />As shown on Map 1, each area requested for bond release is comprised of smaller units, which <br />correspond to the specific year that backfilling, grading and reseeding were performed. The <br />work completed includes regrading to the approved post -mining topography, topsoil <br />replacement, and seeding with the approved seed mix. Grading and topsoil replacement was <br />generally performed in the summer and fall months and seeding occurred in the fall. The <br />following table presents when each reclamation parcel was topsoiled and seeded. Phase I bond <br />release has been granted on all parcels being applied for Phase II. <br />Area <br />Total Acres <br />Topsoiled <br />(Year) <br />Seeded <br />(Year) <br />WPO12/013 <br />3.97 <br />2002 <br />2006 <br />WPO14 <br />49.4 <br />2009 <br />2009 <br />WPO15 <br />j 101.8 <br />2010 <br />2010 <br />WPO16 <br />131.7 <br />2011 <br />2011 <br />WPO17 <br />12.6 <br />2013 <br />2013 <br />WPO18 <br />30.7 <br />2013 <br />2013 <br />WPO19 <br />22.1 <br />2013 <br />2013 <br />WP020 <br />95.8 <br />2013 <br />2013 <br />EP045 <br />7.2 <br />2003 <br />2006 <br />EP046 <br />96.2 <br />2005 <br />2005 <br />EP047 <br />1 1.9 <br />2006 <br />2006 <br />EP048 <br />3.0 <br />2006 <br />2006 <br />EP049 <br />; 4.0 <br />3 <br />2006 <br />2006 <br />EP050 <br />84.3 <br />2006 <br />2006 <br />EP051 <br />i 31.2 <br />2007 <br />2007 <br />EP052 1 <br />34.8 <br />2009 <br />2009 <br />EP053 <br />17.2 <br />2010 <br />2011 <br />EP054 <br />17.4 <br />2010 <br />2010 <br />EP055 <br />8.8 <br />2010 <br />2010 <br />EP057 <br />68.3 <br />2012 <br />2012 <br />B.
