EXHIBIT D <br /> Reclamation Plan <br /> McCormick Excavation And Paving LLC(applicant) McCormick Pit 1 <br /> 1 a. As mining completes a stage and we have to strip another part of the permitted area we will take <br /> stripping's and place them on the part that was finished with mining.Therefore, reclamation will be an <br /> ongoing process as we mine instead of waiting until pit is finished. <br /> B. All slopes will be a 4 to 1 or less. <br /> C. The site will be planted back to grass. It is a pasture now and will be put back as pasture land for its <br /> future use. Seeding will be done when a large enough area is done to justify a seeding company to come <br /> out and seed.The ground will be chiseled and disked to eliminate compacted ground. Soil amendments <br /> shall only be applied where soil tests indicate nutrient deficiencies for the plant species to be <br /> established. No compost or other amendments will be added till a soil test confirms what is need and <br /> amounts of amendments required. We will use a disk drill to plant grass seed.We will use a Blue <br /> Gramma and Western Wheat Grass with Buffalo Grass being the majority.Seeding ratio will be 32 lbs. <br /> per acre of pure live seed. Blue grama 10lbs per, acre Western Wheat Grass 6 lbs. per acre, Buffalo <br /> grass 10 lbs.,green needle grass 6 Ibs. per acre. If needed wheat straw will be added and method to <br /> used will be some type of disk that will crimp straw into the ground.The application rate will be 1 ton <br /> 1.5 tons per acre. <br /> D. There will be no ponds, streams or buildings left to remain after reclamation.The land owner wants <br /> the haul road and cattle guard left on site for them use. We have provided a letter from the owner <br /> stating such. <br /> E. There will be no waste rock, no underground mine openings or buildings left to create any hydrologic <br /> imbalances. <br /> 2. The maximum number of acres to be disturbed would be 5.51 acres between both phases.Topsoil <br /> and overburden run an average 30 inches which equals 22,202 cubic yards.To re-spread over permitted <br /> area with haul distances of 1,200 feet or less, cost per cubic yard would be$1.35.Cost to re-spread <br /> overburden and topsoil would be$30.008.40 To seed,fertilizer and crimp would be$1,800 acre,this <br /> total would be$9,918.00. The total cost with re-spreading of topsoil and overburden and seeding would <br /> be$39,926.40 <br /> These numbers should be high, as the pit gets mined the overburden will get placed. So at least half of <br /> The overburden should already be placed.There for the cost to reclaim should be around$18,000.00 <br /> cause there should be at very most 10,000 cy of overburden stockpiled. <br /> 5.51 acres overburden average of 25 inches 18,668 cubic yards @ $1.35 =$25,201.80 <br /> 5.51 acres of top soil average of 5 inches 3,556 @ $1.35 =$4,806.60 <br /> 5.51 acres to seed @ $1,800 =$9,981.00 <br />
