iii. Outlining the sequence in which each stage or phase of reclamation will be carried <br /> out. <br /> Please refer to the Timetable for Mining and Reclamation in Section (e) of Exhibit D. <br /> (fJ A description of: <br /> i. Final grading—maximum anticipated slope gradient or expected ranges thereof; <br /> The finished slopes of the reservoir will be no steeper than 3 horizontal to 1 vertical. <br /> ii. Seeding—types, mixtures, quantities and time of application; <br /> Please refer to the Reclamation Plan Map for the list of plant materials and seeds to be <br /> utilized. The operator will seed during the appropriate season to ensure adequate <br /> moisture for germination and implement weed controls to allow the grasses to successfully <br /> establish. Additional plantings may be installed once the reservoirs are full of water and <br /> the grasses are established. <br /> iii. Fertilization—types, mixtures, quantities, and time of application; <br /> The type and application rate of fertilizer shall be determined based on a soil test at the <br /> time of final reclamation. <br /> iv. Revegetation—types of trees, shrubs, etc.; <br /> Please refer to the Reclamation Plan Maps for the types, quantities and location of <br /> plantings. Trees and shrubs are generally avoided in the design of reservoir facilities to <br /> avoid root system breach of slurry walls. Woody plantings during the life of mine will be <br /> determined in review of the local zoning permit. <br /> v. Topsoiling—specify anticipated minimum depth or range of depths for those areas <br /> where topsoil will be replaced. <br /> Topsoil will be uniformly placed and spread on all areas disturbed by the mining above the <br /> anticipated high water line. The minimum thickness shall be 6 inches above the <br /> surrounding finished grade. <br /> WEED MANAGEMENT PLAN <br /> The Operator will monitor and control noxious weeds as they appear. The Operator typically <br /> prefers to control weeds mechanically, by mowing and/or discing. If necessary, weeds will be killed <br /> with a contact herbicide. <br /> Nix—Gravel Mine—MLRB 112 Permit Application <br /> Exhibit E-5 <br /> Page 19 of 126 <br />
