RECLAMATION PLAN EXHIBIT D <br /> 1. General Reclamation Plan <br /> The total area of the permit is 9.96 acres. The access road will be left in place at the end of the <br /> mine per the request of the landowner. All other areas will be reclaimed. <br /> Reclamation will be conducted as new areas are disturbed throughout the year. This will most <br /> likely happen in small increments a few times per year,with topsoil, crusher fines, and <br /> overburden being placed in the previously excavated areas of the pit. See Map C3 for details. <br /> This will also help reduce the exposed land area, which will reduce the reclamation bond and <br /> impacts to wildlife. The pit floor will be graded to drain to the South. The pit excavation itself <br /> will prevent on site stormwater from leaving the site until vegetation is sufficient to control <br /> erosion. <br /> 2. Topsoil Replacement <br /> The amount of topsoil proposed to be salvaged and replaced is 8,000 C.Y. as shown in Table C- <br /> 1. All of the areas will receive topsoil replaced to a minimum thickness of 6", including the <br /> existing disturbance. The topsoil from the stockpile will be used on the remainder of the site that <br /> was not concurrently reclaimed and will include areas like the plant area, in pit roads, Mining <br /> Areas. The compacted areas will be ripped prior to topsoil placement the help root penetration <br /> past the topsoil. <br /> 3. Haul Roads and Access <br /> Portions of the existing roads in the permit area will be not be removed or altered. <br /> 4. Reclamation Timetable <br /> The timetable for reclamation is shown below in Table D-1. Reclamation Timetable. Exhibit <br /> L: Reclamation Costs describes the worst-case bond scenario. <br /> The timetable above is based on sales of 7,000 tons per year. The life would be greatly reduced if <br /> this production increases in the future. <br />
