Exhibit "D" <br /> Reclamation Plan <br /> 6.3.4 Reclamation Plan: <br /> The purpose of the Reclamation Plan is to describe the timing, procedures, criteria and <br /> materials that will be used to reclaim the affected land to the proposed future land use. This <br /> Plan must be correlated to Exhibit E - Map. The description of the Reclamation Plan must <br /> be adequate to satisfy the requirements of Section 3.1 and demonstrate compliance with <br /> Rule 3. At a minimum, the Application shall include the following information: <br /> (1) The Operation/Applicant has prepared a reclamation plan that addresses the following <br /> items; final grading, which includes drainage, seeding, fertilizing, vegetation, and topsoil <br /> replacement as necessary to achieve the future land use. The plan is based on traditional <br /> reclamation practices. <br /> (a) Specify at what point in the mining plan and to what depth(s) overburden <br /> will be replaced in relation to ongoing extraction: <br /> This is a borrow operation. No overburden shall be removed or replaced. <br /> (b) Specify the maximum gradient of the reclaimed slopes (horizontal: vertical). <br /> If the Application proposes slopes steeper than 3:1, the Operator/Applicant must <br /> include a justification that supports steeper slopes for the proposed post mining <br /> land use, and demonstrates compliance with the applicable performance <br /> standards of Section 3.1: <br /> All reclaimed slopes will be 3H:1 V or less. The proposed slopes will benefit the post <br /> mining land use, rangeland. <br /> (c) Specify the measures that will be taken to revegetate the site, if applicable, <br /> including: <br /> (i) State the thickness of the plant growth medium to be replaced. Sample <br /> and analyze available soils sufficiently to establish quantity and quality: <br /> Plant growth medium will be replaced to a depth range of 10 - 12 inches. Given the <br /> quality of the available topsoil, no soil analyses are proposed. <br /> (ii) State at what point in the mining plan the site will be seeded. Explain <br /> how the seedbed will be prepared to eliminate compacted conditions. State <br /> the type, application rate, and soil incorporation methods of fertilizer <br /> application, if any: <br /> 35 <br />
