Table E-2: Reclamation Timetable <br />Year <br />Pit 1 (reclamation <br />acres) <br />Pit 2 (reclamation <br />acres) <br />Pit 3 (reclamation Facilities Area <br />acres) (reclamation acres) <br />--. <br />IIII1IIIL-_ <br />10 <br />The timetable above is based on production of 225,000 tons of gravel per year. The mine life is <br />dependent on market forces and may lengthen or shorten depending on the construction market <br />requirements for material but is estimated to be 10 years. Roughly two years of final reclamation <br />and vegetation monitoring will be needed. <br />5. Revegetation Plan <br />The post mining land use will be comprised of two separate vegetation regimes, irrigated pasture <br />and rangeland. These two regimes will require different seed mixes in order to be successful. The <br />rangeland seed mix in detailed in Table E-3 and the irrigated pasture seed mix is detailed in Table <br />E-4. <br />5.1 Rangeland Post Mining Land Use <br />The rangeland reclamation seed mix is intended to restore a vegetation community that is good for <br />cattle and/or sheep grazing and deer/elk grazing but the mix also contains shrub seed which could <br />potentially result in sage grouse use in the future. This seed mix will not require continuing <br />irrigation and will be able to thrive on natural precipitation. Many years of experience in reclaiming <br />sites such as this have shown that although the reclamation seed mix contains considerable grasses <br />Rincon Materials E-3 CnV Ixwickt and Associates, PLLC <br />February 2020 <br />
