The revegetation seeding and plant list on the Reclamation Plan Map contains the preferred species of grasses, shrubs and trees to be planted. Seeding will take place once final grading and replacement of topsoil have been completed. Timing of seeding will be consistent with standard horticultural practice for dryland applications-generally between late September and the middle of April to ensure there is adequate moisture for germination. (e) A plan or schedule indicating how and when reclamation will be implemented. Include: i. An estimate of the periods of time which will be required for the various stages or phases of reclamation. Please refer to the Timetable for Mining and Reclamation in Section (e) of Exhibit D. ii. A description of the size and location of each area to be reclaimed during each phase. Please refer to the Reclamation Plan Map (Exhibit F). iii. Outlining the sequence in which each stage or phase of reclamation will be carried out. Please refer to the Timetable for Mining and Reclamation in Section (e) of Exhibit D. (f) A description of i. Final grading-maximum anticipated slope gradient or expected ranges thereof,• The finished slopes of the reservoir will be 3 horizontal to 1 vertical. Any area reclaimed to native grade will match natural topography. (a) The expected physical appearance of the area of the affected land, correlated to the proposed mining and reclamation timetables. The map must show proposed topography of the area with contour lines of sufficient detail to portray the direction and rate of slope of all reclaimed lands; and - See attached maps. (b) Portrayal of the proposed final land use for each portion of the affected lands. See the updated maps. ii. Seeding-types, mixtures, quantities and time of application, Please refer to the Reclamation Plan Map for the list of plant materials and seeds to be utilized. The operator will seed during the appropriate season to ensure adequate moisture for germination and implement weed controls to allow the grasses to successfully establish. Additional plantings may be installed once the reservoirs are full of water and the grasses are established. N. Fertilization-types, mixtures, quantities, and time of application; There will be no fertilization applied.
