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 Mining and Reclamation in Section (e) of Exhibit D. <br /> n. 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 /> (t) A description of <br /> i. Final grading-maximum anticipated slope gradient or expected ranges thereof,• <br /> The finished slopes of the reservoir will be no steeper than 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 /> Hunt Water, LLC-Gravel Mine—MLRB 112 Permit Application <br /> Exhibit E-4 <br />
