RECLAMATION PLAN EXHIBIT E (CONT) <br /> RECLAMATION TIMETABLE <br /> Reclamation will begin once enough area has been opened so <br /> that any reclamation completed will not be disturbed as mining <br /> progresses . This may take 10 or more years depending on the <br /> economic conditions in the area and the amount of material mined. <br /> The operator anticipates approximately 950 of the total mined <br /> land will be reclaimed by the time mining is completed. A <br /> portion of the floor area will be complete, but the area under <br /> the plant site/stockpile area will still need work and grading of <br /> the final face area will be that last area to be reclaimed. <br /> Within one year after the stockpiles have been removed, all <br /> recoiling and revegetation will be complete . The area will then <br /> be monitored for success of revegetation until it is released by <br /> the Board. The operator estimates that, this will happen 3 to 5 <br /> years after mining is completed. <br /> If revegetation problems occur before release, an analysis <br /> of the site will be made and the area will be revegetated again <br /> as necessary. The seed mixture and rates may be revised as <br /> needed to complete reclamation, if a modification is required, <br /> the Division will be notified prior to making the change . This <br /> gives us the most flexibility to complete reclamation <br /> successfully. <br /> RECLAMATION TIMETABLE <br /> Acres ± <br /> Stage Years Total Revegetation Road Undisturbed <br /> Area <br /> I 3-5 68 . 94 58 . 95 1 . 11 8 . 88 <br /> II 3-5 214 . 04 178 . 18 2 . 97 32 . 89 <br /> III 3-5 54 . 39 46 . 17 1 . 13 7 . 09 <br /> IV 3-5 24 . 32 18 . 39 0 . 61 5 . 32 <br /> V 3-5 20 . 80 16 . 60 0 . 86 3 . 35 <br /> VI 3-5 268 .41 234 . 34 2 . 37 31 . 70 <br /> Drainage LOM 82 . 81 0 0 82 . 81 <br /> Totals 733 . 71 552 . 63 9 . 05 172 . 04 <br /> 18 <br />
