Mr. Ragsdale <br /> May 16, 2019 <br /> Page 4 of 9 <br /> (e)An approximate timetable to describe the mining operation. The timetable is for the purpose of establishing <br /> the relationship between mining and reclamation during the different phases of a mining operation. You will not <br /> be required to meet specific dates for initiation, or completion of mining in a phase as may be identified in the <br /> timetable. This does not exempt you from complying with the performance standards of Section 3.1. Such <br /> timetable should include: <br /> (i)an estimate of the periods of time which will be required for the various stages or phases of the <br /> operation; <br /> (ii) a description of the size and location of each area to be worked during each phase; and <br /> (iii)outlining the sequence in which each stage or phase of the operation will be carried out. <br /> (Timetables need not be separate and distinct from the mining plan,but may be incorporated therein.) <br /> (f)A map(in Exhibit C -Pre-Mining and Mining Plan Maps(s) of Affected Lands, Subsection 6.4.3) may be used <br /> along with a narrative to present the following information: <br /> (i)nature, depth and thickness of the ore body or deposit to be mined and the thickness and type of <br /> overburden to be removed(may be marked "CONFIDENTIAL," as per Paragraph 1.3(3)); and <br /> (ii) nature of the stratum immediately beneath the material to be mined in sedimentary deposits. <br /> (g) Identify the primary and secondary commodities to be mined/extracted and describe the intended use; and <br /> (h) name and describe the intended use of all expected incidental products to be mined/extracted by the proposed <br /> operation. <br /> EXHIBIT E -Reclamation Plan (Rule 6.4.5): <br /> (1) In preparing the Reclamation Plan,you should be specific in terms of addressing such items as final grading <br /> (including drainage), seeding, fertilizing, revegetation(trees, shrubs, etc.), and topsoiling. You are encouraged to <br /> allow flexibility in your plans by committing to ranges of numbers (e.g., 6"-12" of topsoil) rather than specific <br /> figures. <br /> (2)The Reclamation Plan shall include provisions for, or satisfactory explanation of, all general requirements for <br /> the type of reclamation proposed to be implemented by you. Reclamation shall be required on all the affected <br /> land. The Reclamation Plans shall include: <br /> (a)A description of the type(s)of reclamation you propose to achieve in the reclamation of the affected <br /> land, why each was chosen,the amount of acreage accorded to each, and a general discussion of methods <br /> of reclamation as related to the mechanics of earthmoving; <br /> (b)A comparison of the proposed post-mining land use to other land uses in the vicinity and to adopted <br /> state and local land use plans and programs. In those instances where the post-mining land use is for <br /> industrial,residential,or commercial purposes and such use is not reasonably assured, a plan for <br /> revegetation shall be submitted. Appropriate evidence supporting such reasonable assurance shall be <br /> submitted; <br /> (c)A description of how the Reclamation Plan will be implemented to meet each applicable requirement <br /> of Section 3.1; <br /> (d)Where applicable,plans for topsoil segregation,preservation, and replacement; for stabilization, <br /> compaction, and grading of spoil; and for revegetation. The revegetation plan shall contain a list of the <br /> preferred species of grass, legumes, forbs, shrubs or trees to be planted,the method and rates of seeding <br />
