11) (Optional)Please provide additional information about the Reclamation Plan: <br /> Area affected is currently un-reclaimed and previously disturbed ground. We will fill all cuts, pits or <br /> trenches we create with larger rocks first,then a mixture of top soil and smaller rocks,capping it with <br /> top soil only for future re-seeding. Since this ground was un-reclaimed when we found it,we are willing <br /> to work with the BLM & DRMS to leave it better than we found it. <br /> We are also willing to reclaim and reseed the old "access" road that was used during prior mining <br /> operations in the past, at our labor and expense. We are not responsible for the condition of this access <br /> road, but we want to leave the site in a better condition than we found it. The cost of the seed for this <br /> has already been added into the reclamation cost. UPDATE: BLM has stated that they do not wish us to <br /> reclaim 0.10 acres of this access road at this time-We would like to leave this number in our numbers in <br /> case that changes <br /> Unnecessary and undue degradation will be minimized by utilizing erosion preventative measures such <br /> as weed-free hay bales placed on the edge of the granite cliff and around the top soil pile we create <br /> when we segregate the waste rock and other materials from the topsoil. This will assist during <br /> winterization and as an added safety issue! Straw bales will be taken apart at the end of the mining <br /> operation and used as mulch for the reseeding process. <br /> Reclaimation of the Siberia Project will consist of returning control of the portal grate to the DRMS/ <br /> BLM and using our surplus of seed already calculated into Phase 1 to mulch and seed the support area. <br /> Reclaimation-in-process will be used on along the all single-track trails by seeding trail edges with native <br /> grass&bush seeds. That will allow a seed bank to form and the trail will overgrow without use. <br />
