2. Reclamation Timetable <br /> The schedule of reclamation will closely follow the mining plan, and the operator would expect <br /> to start reclamation as soon as feasible after mining has been completed, in a 5 acre mining area, <br /> and the operator would expect to have vegetation ready for release within a 3 - 5 year period. <br /> This sequencing will allow for the floating bond of 25 acres. The time for reclamation is shown <br /> below—Table E-2. The owner/applicant agrees that all reclamation shall be carried to <br /> completion with all reasonable diligence and reclamation shall be completed within five (5) <br /> years from the date the owner/applicant informs the Board or office that reclamation has <br /> commenced. <br /> Table E-2 Reclamation Timetable <br /> Years Activity <br /> 1-20 Concurrent mining and <br /> reclamation <br /> 20 Final backfilling and grading; <br /> Revegetation <br /> 21 Revegetation monitoring <br /> 22 _ Revegetation monitoring <br /> 3. Revegetation Plan <br /> For each area of reclamation soil will be disked to loosen the soil. Due to the mild grade, seed <br /> can be drilled in all areas; broadcast seeding will be utilized where reclaimed perimeter slopes do <br /> not allow drilling. Seed mixes listed below will be used to revegetate the site with a pastureland <br /> mix. Certified weed free mulch will be crimped into the surface at 2000 lbs. per acre. Heavy <br /> furrows will be left in the tilled topsoil to provide moisture concentration and shade areas in <br /> order to promote better conditions for successful vegetation establishment. Seeding will take <br /> place during the fall following re-topsoiling of slopes. Slopes will be regraded, backfilled, and <br /> re-topsoiled as soon as they are able to be reclaimed. <br /> In the revegetated areas the reclamation plan has been designed for grazing cattle and home sites <br /> with grasses that self-generate without continued dependence on irrigation. Fertilization will be <br /> as per NRCS recommendations no fertilizer is recommended. <br /> No forest planting is planned. This is not consistent with the reclamation plan of pastureland and <br /> residential development. <br /> Robinson Gravel No 1 <br /> September 2018 E-4 __ <br />
