disturbed area. The salvaged topsoil/growth medium will then be placed on the seedbed and seeded <br /> using the seed mix provided by the NRCS shown after the Reclamation Timetable. No trees or shrubs <br /> will be planted as we expect natural invasion of those species to occur and no trees or shrubs were <br /> included in the approved revegetation plan. <br /> Roads will be left across the mine to provide access for planting crews, and for the supervision and <br /> inspection of the completed reclamation. These roads will remain when mining ends to ensure the <br /> owner's access to the site. Final grading on the roads will be done before it is closed. <br /> All refuse will be hauled away or disposed of in a manner that will control unsightliness and protect the <br /> drainage system from pollution. There are no acid-forming or toxic materials involved with the <br /> operation. <br /> Final revegetation will be done by the end of the second fall after recoiling is completed. The seeded <br /> area will be monitored for success of revegetation until accepted by the Division for release. If <br /> revegetation failures occur prior to release, an analysis of the site will be made, and the area will be <br /> revegetated again as necessary. <br /> Reclamation Timetable <br /> We estimate that by adding the new area, the life of the mine will be extended between 50 to 70 years. <br /> All reclamation will be completed within 5 years after mining and stockpiled materials have been <br /> removed from the mine. See the mining timetable for more details. <br /> Summit Brick&Tile Company - Native/Pierre Mine 6/24/2020 <br /> 9 <br />
