These reclaimed lands comply <br /> with applicable success and demonstration criteria set forth in Rule 4 — Performance Standards <br /> and the approved Yoast permit. <br /> SUMMARY OF RECLAMATION AND MANAGEMENT HISTORY <br /> PHASE II RELEASE AREAS <br /> Map 1 breaks the requested Phase II area down into parcels which are then identified by numbers <br /> relating them to the provided table on the map detailing the parcel history. Backfilling and re- <br /> grading of the Yoast Mine took place between 1997 and 2007, generally being completed within <br /> 180 days following the coal removal. The Phase II SL-8 requested areas were seeded between <br /> 2007 and 2013. All areas have been reclaimed in accordance to the permitted reclamation plan and <br /> approved post-mining land use. Topsoil replacement details can be found within the SL-3 bond <br /> release document. While the exact dates of topsoil replacement are not known, it can be logical to <br /> assume that topsoil replacement occurred within the same year as revegetation. Revegetation dates <br /> are shown on Exhibit B, Chronological Revegetation. <br /> SL-8 - 4 <br />
