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 completed <br /> for each phase. 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 Reclamation below; <br /> Phase 1: Mining will begin with the silt storage area in the first year. Stripping of the <br /> plant area and proposed concrete and asphalt plants will also occur. The stockpile <br /> area will be stripped during this time. This area will take approximately a year to <br /> reclaim and will happen at the end of the mine which coincides with year 10. <br /> Phase 2: This phase will consist of approximately 2a and 2b and will take <br /> approximately 5 years to mine and 2 years to reclaim. <br /> Phase 3: This phase will consist of the eastern cell and will take approximately 3 years <br /> to mine and 2 years to reclaim. <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 Reclamation below; <br /> Phase 1: Mining will begin with the silt storage area in the first year. Stripping of the <br /> plant area and proposed concrete and asphalt plants will also occur. The stockpile <br /> area will be stripped during this time. This area will take approximately a year to <br /> reclaim and will happen at the end of the mine. <br /> Phase 2: This phase will consist of approximately 2a and 2b and will take <br /> approximately 5 years to mine and 2 years to reclaim. <br /> Burnco Colorado, LLC-Inouye Gravel Mine—MLRB 112 Permit Application <br /> Exhibit E-4 <br />
