be tilled in preparation for topsoil/overburden growth medium placement, final grading, and <br /> seeding for revegetation. It is estimated that the combined area of these disturbances will be <br /> approximately two (2) acres. <br /> Since quality topsoil is scarce on the Lazy Two Pit site, vegetation growth medium will include <br /> the best quality topsoil/overburden material available. If available, a minimum of 6 inches of <br /> growth medium will be placed on all disturbed areas following backfilling, scarifying, and/or <br /> rough grading. Final grading of the topsoiVoverburden growth medium will prepare the surface <br /> for seeding. After initial seeding and the first season's growth, it is estimated that approximately <br /> 20 percent of the seeded area will need to be re-seeded. <br /> Stockpiles with available topsoil/overburden for backfilling will be near the active mining area, <br /> pit, and other areas for reclamation, so haul distances will generally be less than 1,000 feet. Each <br /> aspect is listed in the following table with associated disturbed area. Please refer to Exhibit D, <br /> Pre-Mining/Mining Plan, for a listing of disturbed areas that total 124.3 acres. This estimate will <br /> follow the same order as the listing in Exhibit D. Connell Resources Inc. is an earth moving and <br /> construction contractor and unit costs for reclamation activities were provided from bidding <br /> documents associated with similar projects. Since all structures used in the mining operation are <br /> portable, it is assumed that removal of the structures do not have associated costs. <br /> Lazy Two Pit <br /> DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 24 <br />
