Topsoil will be removed and segregated from other soil. Please refer to the mining <br /> plan map, Exhibit C for general locations of stockpiles. For reclamation topsoil will <br /> be placed and graded by a scraper and blade.Grading shall be done in a manner <br /> that controls erosion and siltation of the affected land to protect areas outside the <br /> affected land from slides and other damage. In addition, backfilling and grading <br /> shall be completed as soon as feasible during and after the mining process. <br /> Final grading will create a final topography that is appropiate for the final land use <br /> which will be cropland.Topsoil will be uniformly placed and spread on areas <br /> disturbed by the mining.The minimum thickness shall be 6"above the surrounding <br /> finished grade. <br /> Reclamation of the site will be completed within two years after mining is <br /> complete or sooner if possible.The life of the mine is anticipated to be five <br /> years.Also the site can be extended to include approx.another 400 acres if <br /> market conditions allow. <br /> The operator will monitor and control noxious weeds mechanically, by mowing <br /> and/or disking. If necessary,weeds will be treated with a contact herbicide by <br /> a person who is certified to purchase and handle the herbicides. <br /> 8 <br />
